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.

What is the difficulty level of this arrangement?
Grade 4 — Intermediate to Professional. The orchestral writing is designed for professional and advanced community orchestras. The choral parts require an experienced SATB choir with confident sight-reading skills. This is not a student arrangement — it is written to meet the expectations of a professional concert or ceremonial performance.
Do I need a performance license?
“You Raise Me Up” is protected by copyright (composed 2001–2002). Your purchase includes the licence for performances by the purchasing ensemble (your orchestra and choir) at concerts and ceremonies — including printing and distributing parts to your own musicians. As usual, the public performance itself is reported to the responsible performing-rights society — GEMA in Germany, AKM in Austria, SUISA in Switzerland (ASCAP/BMI/PRS elsewhere) — by the organiser or ensemble. For commercial recordings or broadcast use, please contact us directly.
Can the arrangement be customized for my ensemble?
Absolutely. Paul Lorenz Music offers bespoke customization services — a capability unique in the professional sheet music industry. Whether you require simplified brass ranges for a student orchestra, an alternate key, a chamber reduction, or any other instrumentation adjustment, we can tailor this arrangement to your exact requirements. Contact us directly at lorenz-music.com/contact 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. Our team is available to answer technical and content questions prior to purchase.
Can I play the Flute part on Alto saxophone in E♭?
Yes. The Part Configurator is included in the price: the Flute part is also available for Oboe, Clarinet in B♭, Soprano saxophone in B♭ and Trumpet in B♭ and 5 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?
12 instrumental parts for 18 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).
