You Raise Me Up — Orchestra & Choir Sheet Music
The beloved ceremonial anthem by Rolf Løvland & Brendan Graham, arranged for full orchestra and SATB choir by Paul Lorenz
When the final bar of “You Raise Me Up” settles over a silent auditorium, no one in the room thinks about the sheet music — but the conductor knows exactly how much the right score made it possible. Composed by Rolf Løvland and Brendan Graham and made iconic by Josh Groban, this piece has graced weddings, memorial services, and concert halls on every continent. Its emotional power is self-evident. What professional conductors consistently discover, however, is that the available sheet music rarely matches the occasion: consumer-grade arrangements, beginner-level string reductions, or choral octavos that require minimum orders of ten physical copies — none of it designed for the professional who needs everything, immediately, at the quality level the performance demands.
This orchestra and choir sheet music edition by Paul Lorenz is designed from the ground up for that professional. The complete package — full conductor’s score, all seventeen instrumental parts, SATB choral parts, and piano accompaniment — downloads as a single high-resolution PDF within minutes of purchase. MOLA-compliant engraving throughout: 8.5mm staff sizes, measure numbers at every system, cue lines where your ensemble needs them, and page turns placed at rests so that nothing interrupts the performance. This is the professional “You Raise Me Up” score that should have existed from the beginning.

Programming You Raise Me Up
This is a piece to place where you want the room to hold its breath — a first-half closer, an encore, or the emotional summit of a memorial or anniversary programme. Let the arrangement build from its restrained opening toward the full orchestral and choral climax rather than reaching it too early; the pacing is where its power lives. It sits comfortably alongside sacred repertoire, film-score favourites, and other crossover anthems that reward a large ensemble. Explore the related arrangements below to build the rest of the programme.
