Can’t Help Falling in Love — Choir Sheet Music
A concert-grade SATB choral arrangement rooted in 18th-century elegance, crafted by Paul Lorenz
“Wise men say, only fools rush in...” — For over two centuries, this melody has stirred hearts—from Martini’s 1784 salon romance Plaisir d’amour to Elvis Presley’s immortal recording in Blue Hawaii. Now, Paul Lorenz brings this timeless song to the choral stage with an SATB arrangement that honours its classical lineage while unlocking the full expressive power of the human voice.
If you’ve searched for a Can’t Help Falling in Love choir sheet music PDF that transcends the usual block-chord simplicity, your search ends here. This score gives each of the four voices a genuinely independent line rather than a block chord — the alto and tenor carry their own text against the melody through the chorus — and lifts the final section into a new key. It is written a cappella, which is precisely why it survives a wedding ceremony where no piano is available.

Programming Can’t Help Falling in Love
It works almost anywhere a moment of warmth is needed — a wedding, a gala, a season finale, or a sure-fire encore. Begin tenderly, let the independent inner voices bloom through the verses, and save the fullest harmony for the final “I can’t help falling in love with you.” Its melody descends from Martini’s Plaisir d’amour, so it sits beautifully beside classical and sacred repertoire as well as pop crossover — explore the related arrangements below.

Can't Help Falling in Love sheet music — frequently asked questions
Can I hear this arrangement before I buy?
Yes. The sound sample near the top of this page plays a 30-second excerpt of Paul Lorenz’ own studio recording of this arrangement, and the complete recording streams on Artyfile Stream — his lossless hi-fi service, where full playback requires a subscription.
What exactly is included in the download?
One high-resolution PDF of eight A4 pages containing the complete SATB choral score — about 100 bars at ♩ = 90, beginning in E major and modulating into G major for the final section. The setting is a cappella: there is no accompaniment part, and the four voices are engraved together in score rather than as separately extracted parts.
What is the difficulty level of this arrangement?
It is written for confident amateur and professional SATB choirs. There is no divisi and the ranges are comfortable, but every voice is independent and the piece is unaccompanied — so intonation is exposed for its full length, and the modulation into the final section has to be pitched by the choir alone. A good ensemble sings it well; a shaky one will hear every wobble.
Do I need a performance license?
Can’t Help Falling in Love is a copyrighted song. Your purchase includes the license for performances by the purchasing choir at weddings, galas, and concerts — printing parts for your entire ensemble included. 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 choir. For commercial recordings or broadcast use, please contact us directly.
Can the arrangement be customized for my choir?
Absolutely. Paul Lorenz Music offers bespoke customization services—a capability unique in the industry. Whether you need transpositions, voicing adjustments for a specific section, or an alternative arrangement for a smaller ensemble, we can tailor this score to your exact requirements. Contact us directly to discuss your needs.
What is your refund policy?
