Time to Say Goodbye (Con te partirò) — Professional Orchestra & Vocals Sheet Music
The iconic Bocelli & Brightman crossover masterpiece, scored for full symphony orchestra with soprano & tenor soloists by Paul Lorenz
“Con te partirò...” — When Andrea Bocelli and Sarah Brightman first performed Time to Say Goodbye in 1996, they created one of the most commercially successful crossover recordings in history—over 12 million copies sold worldwide. Now, this definitive orchestral arrangement by Paul Lorenz delivers the full cinematic grandeur that audiences expect: double woodwinds, four horns, three trombones, tuba, timpani, three percussion, harp, and full strings, with dedicated soprano and tenor vocal parts in the original key of G Major.
If you’ve spent hours searching for a Time to Say Goodbye orchestra score that rises above simplified piano reductions and thin “lite” orchestrations, your search ends here. This is not a chamber reduction—it is a full symphonic orchestration crafted by an arranger with 30 years of experience at the highest level of the profession, from Universal and Sony to the Vienna State Opera. Every part is performance-ready, MOLA-compliant, and available as an instant PDF download.
