Ave Verum Corpus — Orchestra & Choir Sheet Music
Mozart’s timeless motet K. 618, arranged for full orchestra & SATB choir by Paul Lorenz — the complete professional edition
Mozart wrote Ave Verum Corpus K. 618 in three minutes of white heat in the summer of 1791 — and conductors have spent three days tracking down proper performance materials ever since. Free scores are plentiful; complete, professional editions with realized organ continuo and individually extracted string parts are almost nowhere to be found. The gap between what this piece deserves and what the market offers is precisely the reason this Paul Lorenz Music edition exists.
This is the all-in-one professional package that choral directors, Kirchenmusikdirektoren, and ensemble leaders have been searching for: conductor’s score, Violin I and II parts, Viola, Cello and Double Bass parts, a fully realized organ continuo, and a printable SATB choral score — every file, in one download, delivered instantly. MOLA-standard engraving at 600 DPI ensures that the parts you hand to your string players signal the same seriousness as the music itself.

Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is included in the download?
You receive a complete, performance-ready package: the full conductor’s score in A3-compatible format, Violin I, Violin II, Viola, and Cello/Double Bass parts (3 copies each), a fully realized organ continuo part, and a printable SATB choral score. Everything is delivered as high-resolution PDF files optimized for both screen reading and professional printing at 600 DPI.
What is the difficulty level of this arrangement?
Grade 3 — Intermediate to Professional. Mozart’s choral writing is homophonic throughout, making it accessible to experienced SATB choirs. The string writing is technically straightforward but deceptively demanding in terms of intonation and tone quality. This edition is suitable for professional orchestras, semi-professional ensembles, and advanced Kirchenchöre.
Do I need a performance license?
Mozart’s Ave Verum Corpus is in the public domain. This Paul Lorenz arrangement is licensed for concert and liturgical performance with your purchase — no additional ASCAP, BMI, or PRS reporting is required for the arrangement itself. For ticketed performances, standard venue licensing applies as usual.
Can the arrangement be customized for my ensemble?
Absolutely. Paul Lorenz Music offers bespoke customization services unique in the industry. Whether you need a piano reduction in place of the organ part, a string quartet adaptation, a transposition to a different key, or custom bowing marks for your section, we can tailor this arrangement to your exact requirements. Contact us directly to discuss your needs.
What is your refund policy?
Due to the digital nature of our products, we cannot offer refunds once the download has been accessed. We encourage you to review the score preview carefully and contact us with any questions before purchasing.
