Programming Perfect
Perfect sits naturally near the close of a programme, where its long-breathed melody and warm harmonic language leave an audience at its most receptive. Let the strings carry the opening statement, then bring the choir in for the final refrain so the full ensemble crests together — the arrangement is shaped to build to exactly that moment. It pairs well with other lyrical crossover and film-adjacent works, and makes an ideal encore or ceremony finale. Explore the related arrangements below to build the rest of the programme.

Perfect 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 exactly is included in the download?
You receive the full conductor’s score in A3 format, all individual orchestral parts (Violin I & II, Viola, Cello, Double Bass, Woodwinds, Brass, Percussion, Harp), and complete SATB choir parts — all as high-resolution PDFs optimized for screen reading and professional printing.
What is the difficulty level?
This arrangement is written for professional and advanced ensembles. The orchestral parts suit symphony orchestras and high-level community orchestras. The choral writing is appropriate for experienced SATB choirs with solid sight-reading abilities.
Do I need a performance license?
Your purchase includes the license for performances by the purchasing ensemble (your orchestra and choir) at concerts and events. As usual, the public performance itself is reported to the responsible performing-rights society — GEMA in Germany, AKM in Austria, SUISA in Switzerland (ASCAP/BMI/PRS elsewhere) — by the organiser or ensemble. All rights for the arrangement itself have been secured. For commercial recordings or broadcast use, please contact us directly.
Can the arrangement be customized for my ensemble?
Absolutely. Paul Lorenz Music specializes in bespoke arrangements tailored to your ensemble’s unique needs — whether that’s a different key, altered instrumentation, or a completely new configuration. Contact us to discuss your requirements.
What is your refund policy?
Due to the digital nature of the product, refunds cannot be issued once the PDF has been downloaded. Please review the score preview carefully before purchasing.
Can I play the Flute part on Alto saxophone in E♭?
Yes. The Part Configurator is included in the price: the Flute part is also available for Oboe, Clarinet in B♭, Soprano saxophone in B♭ and Trumpet in B♭ and 5 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?
11 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).
