When Diana Ross and Lionel Richie walked into a recording studio at 3:30 in the morning on May 8, 1981, they created what Billboard would later name the greatest song duet of all time — and conductors have been searching for a concert-worthy orchestral edition ever since. This professional orchestra sheet music for “Endless Love” fills that gap: a full symphony arrangement with conductor score, individual instrument parts, and a licence for performances by the purchasing ensemble, built to the standard the piece deserves.
Most available scores reduce this iconic work to a wind-band part or a single piano staff. The Paul Lorenz edition is different. Written for the full string section, woodwinds, brass, harp, percussion, and vocal duet, it delivers the lush, cinematic sound that has made “Endless Love” the defining romantic standard of the past four decades. Every page turn is placed during a rest. Every system carries measure numbers. The 8.5mm MOLA-standard staves ensure legibility at any orchestral stand distance. Download immediately — your parts are ready for tomorrow’s rehearsal.

Programming Endless Love
Endless Love sits naturally as a second-half centrepiece or an encore — the point in a programme where the room leans in and the strings carry the melody. Give it space after something brighter, and let the vocal duet emerge over a restrained orchestral bed before the final chord opens out. It pairs well with other romantic standards and film themes, and its four-decade familiarity makes it an ideal bridge between the classical and popular halves of a mixed programme. Keep the dynamic balance generous to the voices — the arrangement rewards a conductor who lets the singers lead. Explore the related arrangements below to build the rest of the programme.

★★★★☆A deeply emotional arrangement of this classic. The melodic writing is handled very elegantly. One small point off because the transitions are a little demanding for the woodwinds, but the result simply sounds gorgeous.

Endless Love 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 included in the orchestra download?
You receive a complete, performance-ready package: the full conductor’s score in A3 format, individual parts for every instrument section (strings, woodwinds, brass, percussion, piano, harp), a vocal score for soprano and tenor duet, and the edition’s licence document as PDF — all as high-resolution 600 DPI files optimized for both screen reading and professional printing.
What is the difficulty level of this arrangement?
Grade 4 — Professional. This is a concert-hall arrangement written for experienced orchestral musicians. Section principals should have professional or advanced-professional experience, particularly in dynamic balance with the vocal duet. The arrangement is not suitable for student or community ensembles without strong section leadership.
Does the performance license cover GEMA and AKM reporting?
The licence included with your purchase covers the arrangement rights held by Paul Lorenz Music — the use of this edition for performances by the purchasing ensemble. As the original composition by Lionel Richie remains under copyright, the public performance itself is reported to ASCAP, BMI, or PRS in the relevant territory (GEMA/AKM/SUISA for DACH) by the organiser, as usual; venues with blanket agreements often handle this themselves, but the responsibility remains with the organiser.
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, a transposition, or adjustments to accommodate your specific roster, we can tailor this arrangement to your exact requirements. Contact us directly to discuss your needs.
What is your refund policy?
Due to the digital nature of our products, we cannot offer refunds once the download has been accessed. We encourage you to review the score preview carefully and contact us with any questions before purchasing. Our team is happy to answer questions about the arrangement’s suitability for your ensemble.
Can I play the Horn in F part on Alto saxophone in E♭?
Yes. The Part Configurator is included in the price: the Horn in F part is also available for Flute, Oboe, Clarinet in B♭ and Soprano saxophone in B♭ and 7 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?
8 instrumental parts for 18 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).
