Hi! I'm Lane

I compose and arrange music to help church, school, community, and university choirs and audiences have uplifting and meaningful experiences with music. I also teach composition and arranging skills to help others create similar experiences.

I hope the music available here will help bring those kinds of experiences to you, your choir or musical group, and your audiences.

A Sky of Tomorrows

Behind the Score

In late February and early March of 2025, I was thrilled to have A Sky of Tomorrows performed at two concerts by da Pacem, an excellent local community choir, directed by Dr. Ronald Staheli. The recording that you hear in the video above is from one of those performances. Here is a bit of the background behind this piece of music:

What Others Are Saying...

Melanie Wilcox, choir director, Sunset Jr. High

Lane Johnson's music has inspired the students at Sunset Jr. High for many years!  For the past several years we have commissioned this gifted writer to compose our theme songs, and for good reason! He writes magnificent music that touches the heart along with meaningful lyrics that students relate to. You WILL feel the strength of his work as you practice and perform Lane's pieces.  It's an extraordinary experience! 

Dr. Edith Copley, ACDA President-Elect

“After hearing Lane Johnson's choral music performed at both ACDA National and Western Conventions, we commissioned him to write a new work for the NAU Shrine of the Ages Choir. Lane's music has immediate appeal, because of the accessible, extended harmonies and expressive setting of the poetry. I strongly encourage you to explore and program the choral works of Lane Johnson; it is a journey that you and your singers will definitely want to take.”

Dr. Ronald Staheli, former director of Brigham Young University Singers

“Lane Johnson's choral music speaks with eloquent beauty directly to the heart and mind, and to glorious results. The choir's immediate connection to his music is matched by the enthusiastic response from our audiences. I  strongly urge you to carefully examine Mr. Johnson's first-rate compositions.”
