Rosanna — SATB Choir Sheet Music
Toto’s Grammy-winning classic, arranged for professional SATB choir by Paul Lorenz — concert-grade engraving, instant PDF download
Six Grammy Awards in one night. The “Rosanna Shuffle” — Jeff Porcaro’s legendary half-time drum pattern — is one of the most recognizable rhythmic signatures in recorded music history. And yet, finding a choir arrangement of “Rosanna” worthy of that legacy has meant settling for something a professional ensemble should never have to settle for: commodity octavos at two dollars a copy, MuseScore transcriptions riddled with errors, or over-engineered a cappella editions that demand a beatbox section your choir doesn’t have. The Paul Lorenz SATB arrangement changes the equation entirely. The groove is written into the vocal language itself — cross-rhythms, syncopated entries, and carefully voiced chords that carry the forward propulsion of the original without requiring a single percussionist. This is the Rosanna your ensemble has been waiting for.
Designed for professional pop choirs, university vocal ensembles, and corporate entertainment directors who perform at the highest level, this edition adheres to MOLA engraving standards throughout: 8.5mm staff sizes on the conductor score, measure numbers at every system, and page turns placed during rests — never mid-phrase. One purchase provides the complete conductor score and all four voice parts in a single high-resolution PDF, ready to print and perform. No per-copy ordering. No licensing ambiguity. No surprises at rehearsal.
