Kleiner Engel — Baptism Song Sheet Music for Choir & Piano
The original SATB choral arrangement of this beloved baptism song, by the composers Paul Lorenz & Christine Karl
A child has just entered the world, and in this moment — before the first words are spoken, before the photographs are taken — you want music that carries the weight of everything you feel. Kleiner Engel was written precisely for this: the quiet center of a baptism ceremony, where a choir’s voices can lift an entire congregation into something beyond language. This SATB Choir & Piano sheet music is the authoritative, original-composer edition — the only score that comes directly from the people who created this piece.
Composed by Paul Lorenz and Christine Karl and performed by Ensemble Zeitlos, Kleiner Engel has become one of the most beloved baptism songs in the German-speaking world. Whether you lead a twelve-voice village choir or a large parish ensemble, this professionally engraved edition gives you everything you need for a flawless, moving performance — complete choral score, all four individual voice parts, piano accompaniment, and a performance license included as standard.
