Every conductor who has stood before an orchestra knows the singular power of “A Million Dreams” — a melody that transforms an audience from passive listeners into believers. Yet most available orchestra sheet music for this iconic song reduces its cinematic grandeur to simplified school-level parts, stripping away the very orchestration that makes hearts soar. This professional orchestra sheet music by Paul Lorenz restores every layer of emotional depth: the tender string introduction, the building woodwind textures, the triumphant brass fanfare that carries the final chorus to its breathtaking climax. Crafted to MOLA engraving standards and refined through 30 years of experience with the world’s leading ensembles — monumental, cinematic, and unmistakably professional.

Programming A Million Dreams for maximum impact
This is a piece that earns its place as an emotional centrepiece rather than a warm-up. Let the strings establish the intimacy of the opening, build patiently through the woodwind textures, and save the full weight of the brass for the last chorus — the moment audiences remember. It closes a first half beautifully and works as a soloist feature in a film-music set. Explore the related arrangements below to build the rest of your programme, or contact Paul Lorenz Music for a bespoke suggestion.

A Million Dreams sheet music — frequently asked questions
Can I hear this arrangement before I buy?
Yes. The sound sample near the top of this page plays a 30-second excerpt of Paul Lorenz’ own studio recording of this arrangement, and the complete recording streams on Artyfile Stream — his lossless hi-fi service, where full playback requires a subscription.

What is the difficulty level of this arrangement?
This arrangement is designed for professional and advanced ensembles. The orchestral parts are suitable for symphony orchestras and accomplished community orchestras. Individual parts are idiomatically written with comfortable ranges and logical phrasing to ensure efficient sight-reading.
Do I need a performance license?
Your purchase includes the licence for performances by the purchasing ensemble (your orchestra) at concerts and events. Since “A Million Dreams” by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul is a contemporary composition under copyright, the public performance itself is reported to the responsible performing-rights society — ASCAP, BMI or PRS (GEMA/AKM/SUISA in the DACH region) — by the organiser or ensemble, as usual. For commercial recordings or broadcast use, please contact us directly.
Can the arrangement be customized for my ensemble?
Absolutely. Paul Lorenz Music offers bespoke customization services — a capability unique in the industry. Whether you need alternative instrumentation, transpositions for a specific soloist, or adjustments to accommodate your ensemble’s roster, we can tailor this arrangement to your exact requirements. Contact us directly to discuss your needs.
What is your refund policy?
We stand behind the quality of every arrangement. Because these are instant PDF downloads, we recommend reviewing the score preview thoroughly and contacting us with any questions before purchasing — we are happy to assist. Refunds cannot be issued once a download has been accessed.
Can I play the Oboe part on Alto saxophone in E♭?
Yes. The Part Configurator is included in the price: the Oboe part is also available for Flute, Clarinet in B♭, Soprano saxophone in B♭ and Trumpet in B♭ and 4 more instruments – transposed, in the right clef, checked for range and breathing. You receive the link by e-mail after your purchase.
Which parts are available for other instruments?
10 instrumental parts for 17 instruments in all. The overview “Parts for your instrumentation” on this page lists every original part with its instruments. For a different instrumentation you can send Paul Lorenz a request after your purchase.
Am I allowed to use the re-scored parts?
Yes. Parts from the Part Configurator belong to the edition you bought and are covered by the same license – for your ensemble, with the same rights of use. Every part carries the notice “Licensed to …” in its footer. For public performances the organiser registers the performance with the collecting society as usual (e.g. PRS, ASCAP/BMI, GEMA).
