I’m Still Standing — Choir & Piano Sheet Music
Elton John’s anthem of resilience, arranged for SATB choir & piano by Paul Lorenz — concert-grade choral score with a fully realized piano part
“I’m Still Standing” is one of the few pop songs in the choral repertoire that carries genuine dramatic architecture — the key shift between verse and chorus is a full emotional arc from uncertainty to triumph, and most published arrangements reduce that arc to a simplified lead sheet. This edition does not. Designed for concert choirs who take their programming seriously, this SATB arrangement captures the full harmonic ambition of Elton John’s original while giving your choir writing that genuinely challenges and rewards their ability.
The piano part is a complete, performance-ready concert accompaniment — not a rehearsal reduction. Whether you are programming a gala concert, a university showcase, or a professional choir’s season finale, this score is ready for the stage without compromise. Engraved to MOLA standard, delivered as a 600 DPI PDF the moment your purchase is confirmed.

Programming I’m Still Standing
Place this arrangement where you want lift — a second-half opener or a closing encore, where its shift from verse to chorus can carry the audience from stillness to full voice. The brisk 177 BPM tempo means it moves; rehearse the choral entries for crisp ensemble and let the piano drive underneath rather than accompany politely. It pairs naturally with other resilience-themed and contemporary pop-choral repertoire, giving a concert programme a modern, uplifting anchor. Explore the related arrangements below to build the rest of the programme.
