“Auf Uns” — Orchestra & Choir Sheet Music

Andreas Bourani’s iconic anthem, arranged for Full Orchestra & SATB Choir by Paul Lorenz — concert-grade PDF, instant download

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

When Germany lifted the World Cup trophy at the Maracanã on 13 July 2014, one song filled the stadium — and it has filled concert halls, gala stages, and wedding venues across Europe ever since. “Auf Uns” by Andreas Bourani is more than a chart hit: it is a collective moment of national pride, a raised-glass anthem that audiences recognize the instant the first bar lands. This arrangement transforms that emotional power into a complete, performance-ready package for full symphony orchestra and SATB choir.

Designed to the exacting standards that professional conductors demand, this orchestral arrangement adheres to MOLA engraving specifications throughout — 8.5mm staff sizes, sequential measure numbers, and page turns optimized for the stand. Whether you are programming a gala concert, a municipal anniversary celebration, or a large-scale corporate event, this edition delivers the sonic impact of the original with the technical precision your ensemble requires. No corrections at rehearsal. No missing pages. No compromises.

I programmed ‘Auf Uns’ as the closing piece for our gala concert celebrating the city’s 800th anniversary, and the Paul Lorenz arrangement was simply the only professional option available. The conductor’s score is immaculately engraved — every cue in place, page turns exactly where they belong, and the SATB parts integrate seamlessly with the strings. The audience was on their feet before the final chord resolved. Markus Breitner, Principal Conductor, Philharmonisches Kammerorchester Regensburg

Prefer piano accompaniment?

This edition is scored for full symphony orchestra and SATB choir. If your setting calls for a single accompanist instead — a wedding, a school concert, or a rehearsal room — there is a dedicated Auf Uns for SATB Choir & Piano edition (€39.90), with the same choral writing and a fully integrated piano part.

Is this edition right for you?

Auf Uns is a raised-glass finale — the piece that lifts an audience to its feet before the final chord resolves. These editions are written for:

  • Gala and anniversary concerts that need a recognizable, emotionally charged closer
  • Municipal and corporate celebrations on a large orchestral stage
  • Experienced SATB choirs with solid sight-reading, backed by a full orchestra

Need a transposition or a different voicing? Paul Lorenz adapts it on request — just ask before you buy.

Programming Auf Uns

Auf Uns belongs at the emotional summit of a programme — the closer that sends an audience home singing. Its accessible harmony and unmistakable refrain make it an ideal contrast to weightier repertoire earlier in the evening, and the anthem lands hardest when the choir carries the final chorus over the full ensemble. Pace the build patiently so the last chorus feels earned, and let the room join in. Explore the related arrangements below to build the rest of the programme.
