You Raise Me Up — SATB Choir & Piano Sheet Music
The beloved anthem by Rolf Løvland & Brendan Graham, arranged for SATB choir and piano by Paul Lorenz
The difference between a choir that moves an audience and one that merely performs is often invisible — hidden in the measure numbers, the cue lines, the engraving that lets every singer read ahead without hunting for their next entry. “You Raise Me Up,” composed by Rolf Løvland and Brendan Graham and brought to worldwide recognition by Josh Groban, is one of the most performed pieces in contemporary choral repertoire. Weddings, memorial services, church concerts, graduation ceremonies — this song is called upon at the moments that matter most. The professional choir director who answers that call deserves a score equal to the occasion.
This SATB choir and piano edition by Paul Lorenz delivers exactly that. The piano accompaniment is written for the instrument — idiomatic, musically satisfying, and crafted to support the choir without overwhelming it — not a mechanical reduction of an orchestral texture. The choral parts follow MOLA-standard engraving: 8.5mm staff sizes, precise expression markings, and a layout designed for the way singers actually read music. Everything — conductor score, all four choral parts, and the complete piano edition — downloads as a single high-resolution PDF instantly upon purchase, ready to print for your entire choir within minutes.

Programming You Raise Me Up
Few pieces carry the emotional weight this one does, which makes placement everything. It works best as a considered centrepiece or a closing benediction rather than an opener — the arc builds from an intimate solo-like opening to a full-voiced final statement, so give it room to swell. The idiomatic piano writing means you need only one accompanist, not a full ensemble, which keeps it practical for services and smaller venues. Pair it with quieter reflective repertoire so its climax reads as an arrival. Explore the related arrangements below to build the rest of the programme.
