Every professional conductor who has programmed Jerusalem knows the moment of quiet dread when the ordered parts arrive — and the question is always the same: will this edition hold up under a full orchestra, a 120-voice choir, and the weight of England’s unofficial national anthem? Parry’s 1916 setting of William Blake’s visionary text has been performed at coronations, royal weddings, and the Last Night of the Proms for over a century. The audience already knows every word. The stakes could not be higher.
This professional edition by Paul Lorenz was built for exactly that moment. Re-engraved from the ground up to MOLA standards, it delivers a complete orchestra & SATB choir package as a single instant download — conductor score, all orchestral parts, choral parts, and piano/organ rehearsal reduction. No hire fees. No waiting for print orders. No discoveries at the first rehearsal that half the brass parts are missing. Every staff size, every page turn, every cue line has been positioned to serve one purpose: letting you and your musicians focus entirely on the music.

Programming Jerusalem
Few works close a concert with the certainty of Jerusalem — the audience already knows every word, so the piece belongs at the very end, where the room can rise with it. Build toward it through the evening rather than spending its weight early: it answers a full ceremonial or patriotic programme and needs only a well-drilled chorus and confident brass to land. Give the final verse room to broaden, let the organ or full orchestra carry the last “green and pleasant land,” and the hall will do the rest. Explore the related arrangements below to build the rest of the programme.

Jerusalem sheet music — frequently asked questions
What exactly is included in the download?
You receive a complete, performance-ready package: the full conductor’s score in A3 format, all individual orchestral parts (strings, woodwinds, brass, timpani and percussion), the SATB choral parts, and a piano/organ rehearsal reduction. Everything is delivered as high-resolution PDF files optimized for professional printing and screen reading.
What is the difficulty level for choir and orchestra?

Grade 4 for orchestra — suitable for professional and advanced youth orchestras. This edition is a reliable choice for cathedral choirs, civic orchestras, and university music programs programming ceremonial or patriotic repertoire.
Do I need a performance license?
Parry’s original 1916 composition is in the public domain (Parry died 1918; copyright expired). Your purchase includes the licence to perform this arrangement with the purchasing ensemble — concerts, church services and ceremonies included. Any reporting of the public performance to a performing-rights society (GEMA/AKM/SUISA, or ASCAP/BMI/PRS elsewhere) is handled by the organiser as usual. For commercial recordings or broadcast, please contact us directly.
Can the arrangement be customized for my ensemble?
Absolutely. Paul Lorenz Music offers bespoke customization — a capability unique in the professional sheet music market. Whether you need the piece transposed to a different key, brass reduced for a chamber ensemble, or an alternative part substituted for an unavailable instrument, 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.
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).
