Mahler Symphony No. 2 “Resurrection” — Finale Sheet Music

The complete professional edition for Orchestra, Choir & Soloists — arranged by Paul Lorenz for the concert stage

Abbey Road Studios London Symphony Orchestra Vienna State Opera 500M+ Streams Gold & Double Platinum

The moment the offstage brass enters in Mahler’s Resurrection Finale — emerging from silence after twenty-five minutes of orchestral argument — every conductor discovers why this movement demands more than technically correct sheet music. The Finale of Symphony No. 2 in C minor is, in practice, a standalone concert work of the highest order: twenty-five to thirty minutes of orchestral and choral writing that moves from desolation to cosmic affirmation, from Klopstock’s ancient text to Mahler’s own words, from whispered strings to the full weight of orchestra, choir, soprano, mezzo-soprano, organ, and offstage brass. It requires a score that is equal to the occasion.

This Paul Lorenz edition is designed for conductors and music directors who cannot afford to work from century-old IMSLP scans or wait weeks for institutional shipping. The complete performance package — conductor’s score, all orchestral parts, choral score, vocal scores, offstage brass parts, and a staging diagram — is available for instant download, engraved to MOLA standards at 600 DPI. Every dynamic marking, every cue, every page turn has been crafted for real rehearsal conditions. Your next performance of the Mahler Resurrection Finale should not begin with a compromise in the score.

I have conducted Mahler’s Second three times in the past decade, each time with a different edition. The Paul Lorenz score is the first one I’ve used where the engraving itself felt like it understood the music — the staff sizes, the cue placement, the offstage brass notation. We programmed the Finale as a standalone Easter concert piece last year in Salzburg, and the preparation was the smoothest we’ve had. The instant download made the decision to go with this edition very easy. Stefan Brenner, Chief Conductor, Salzburg Philharmonic Society

Symphony No. 2 Resurrection – FINALE 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 (MOLA-compliant, 8.5mm staff), all individual orchestral parts extracted and proofread, soprano and mezzo-soprano vocal scores, the full SATB choral score, offstage brass parts (4 trumpets in F, 2 horns), organ part, an offstage brass staging diagram, and a performance license. Everything is delivered as high-resolution PDF files at 600 DPI, optimized for professional printing and tablet reading.

What is the difficulty level of this arrangement?

Professional level only (Grade 5+). The Finale of Mahler’s Symphony No. 2 requires professional-level orchestral musicians across all sections, an experienced SATB choral ensemble, two professional soloists (soprano and mezzo-soprano), and a conductor with substantial large-scale symphonic experience. It is not typically performed by semi-professional or amateur ensembles due to the complexity, scale, and precision the score demands.

Do I need a performance license?

Mahler’s original Symphony No. 2 is in the public domain. This arrangement by Paul Lorenz is licensed for unlimited performances with your purchase — no additional ASCAP, BMI, or PRS reporting is required for the arrangement itself. For ticketed performances, standard venue licensing applies as usual. The licensing terms are stated clearly in your download package.

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 a reduced brass complement, alternative instrumentation, adjusted choral voicing, or specific formatting changes, we can tailor this edition to your exact requirements. Contact us directly to discuss your needs before or after purchase.

What is your refund policy?

Due to the digital nature of our products, refunds cannot be offered once the download has been accessed. We encourage you to review the score preview carefully and contact us with any questions before purchasing — we are always happy to assist with pre-purchase enquiries.
