A Thousand Years - Sheet Music for Choir (SATB)
The Premium SATB Choral Arrangement by Paul Lorenz — As Featured in The Twilight Saga
Some melodies transcend time. Christina Perri’s “A Thousand Years” has become the definitive anthem of enduring love—a centerpiece of wedding ceremonies, gala concerts, and cinematic moments worldwide. Now, Paul Lorenz Music presents the arrangement your ensemble deserves: a concert-grade SATB choral edition crafted with the same meticulous attention to detail found in Abbey Road Studios productions.
This is not another simplified pop octavo. This is a monumental choral arrangement with orchestral-style voicing, independent melodic lines in every voice part, and professional engraving that respects both the conductor’s vision and the accompanist’s workflow. From the first rehearsal to the final ovation, your choir will sound like a symphony.

Is this arrangement right for your choir?
This is the wedding anthem of the decade given real choral craft — orchestral-style voicing where every section has a meaningful line, not a pop octavo with “oohs” under the melody. It is written for:
- weddings and anniversary ceremonies
- gala and community concerts
- church and semi-professional choirs with a capable accompanist
- programmes that want a cinematic, heartfelt centrepiece
It suits intermediate-to-advanced choirs; the divisi passages reward confident sections. Prefer instrumental forces? A string-quartet edition of A Thousand Years is also published — see the related arrangements below, or ask which fits your occasion.

Programming A Thousand Years
At a wedding it is the processional or the signing-of-the-register moment; in concert it is the emotional heart of the second half. Keep the opening intimate, let the divisi bloom in the final chorus, and trust the piano to carry the pulse. Explore the related arrangements below — including the string-quartet edition for ceremonies without a choir — or contact Paul Lorenz Music for a custom voicing.

A Thousand Years sheet music — frequently asked questions
What is included in the download?
You receive a complete PDF package containing the full choral score (SATB with piano accompaniment). The notation is professionally engraved and print-ready for your ensemble.
How many copies can I print for my choir?
One purchase covers your whole ensemble. Download the PDF once and print a copy for every singer — there are no per-copy or per-chorister fees. A single mass-market octavo typically runs €2–3 per singer, so for a choir of thirty this one file is a fraction of the cost of buying individual copies.
What is the difficulty level?
This arrangement is designed for intermediate to advanced choirs. While the harmonic language is accessible, the independent voice leading and divisi passages require singers with solid sight-reading skills and sectional confidence.
Is this arrangement licensed for public performance?
Yes. Your purchase includes the right to perform this arrangement in concerts, ceremonies, and church services. For recording or broadcast rights, please contact us directly.
Can I request a custom arrangement or additional parts?
Absolutely. Paul Lorenz Music specializes in bespoke arrangements. Need a string quartet accompaniment or a different voicing? Contact us to discuss your requirements.
How quickly will I receive my download?
Instantly. Upon successful payment, you will receive immediate access to download your PDF. No shipping, no waiting—start rehearsing today.
What is your refund policy?
Due to the digital nature of this product, we cannot offer refunds once the PDF has been downloaded. We encourage you to review the score preview before purchasing.
