“Ich kenne nichts” — Orchestra, Choir & Piano Sheet Music
The beloved German soul ballad, arranged for full orchestra, SATB choir, and piano by Paul Lorenz — concert-ready, professionally engraved
For two decades, orchestras, choirs, and wedding musicians across German-speaking Europe have reached for the same song when the moment demands something absolute — and now, for the first time, it exists in a score worthy of those moments. “Ich kenne nichts, das so schön ist wie du” is not performed at galas and wedding ceremonies because it is easy to arrange: it is performed because nothing else quite says it, and this Paul Lorenz edition is the professional score that rises to what the song actually demands.
Engraved to MOLA standards with 8.5mm staff sizes and 600 DPI resolution, every part in this complete package — from the conductor’s A3 score to the last orchestral desk copy — has been tested in live performance conditions. Page turns fall precisely in rests. Measure numbers appear at every system. The SATB choir parts and piano reduction emerge from the same integrated arrangement, not assembled from mismatched sources. Whether your ensemble is a professional gala orchestra or an experienced community choir with orchestral accompaniment, this score is ready for the stand on the day it arrives.
