I’m Still Standing — Orchestra, Choir & Piano Sheet Music
Elton John’s triumphant anthem, reimagined for full orchestra, SATB choir & piano by Paul Lorenz — the complete professional edition
The moment the brass section announces that opening piano riff, every audience in the house knows what they are about to hear — and your ensemble owes them a performance that lives up to that expectation. “I’m Still Standing” is one of the rare pop songs that carries genuine dramatic architecture: the key shift between verse and chorus is not simply a songwriting device, it is an emotional arc from doubt to triumph, and arranging that arc for full orchestra and choir demands the same structural clarity as a symphonic finale. This edition delivers exactly that.
Designed for professional concert programmers, tribute event directors, and symphony pops conductors, this orchestra & choir arrangement captures the full energy of Elton John’s iconic 1983 original — at concert scale. Every orchestral part is individually extracted and engraved to MOLA standard, every page turn is optimized for live performance, and the complete package arrives as a high-resolution PDF the moment your purchase is confirmed. From download to first rehearsal in under two minutes.

Programming I’m Still Standing
This is a natural closer or high-energy encore — the kind of number that lifts an audience to its feet before the final chord decays. Its driving tempo and the lift of the verse-to-chorus key change give the brass and choir a clear dramatic climb, so pace the earlier programme to leave room for this release of energy at the end. It sits well after more reflective repertoire, where its momentum lands hardest by contrast, and pairs naturally with other anthems from the same era in a pops or tribute set. Explore the related arrangements below to build the rest of the programme.
