Frequently Asked Questions
Is this the original Bernstein orchestration?
This is a Monumental Arrangement by Paul Lorenz, faithfully preserving Bernstein's harmonic language and melodic structure while expanding the textural palette for the modern concert hall. It is an authorized, licensed edition—not a rental-library photocopy.
What file format will I receive?
You will receive high-resolution vector PDFs optimized for both professional printing and tablet display. The files render crisply at any zoom level and are compatible with forScore, Newzik, and all major score-reading applications.
Are individual parts included, or only the conductor score?
The complete package includes: full conductor's score, all individual orchestral parts (winds, brass, percussion, harp, strings), the SATB choral score, and separated solo vocal lines. Everything you need to put music on every stand.
Can I use this for public performances?
Purchase includes the performance materials. Public performance rights (PRO licensing) must be handled separately through your venue's blanket license or directly with ASCAP/BMI/GEMA, as is standard practice for all published music.
Is this suitable for advanced high school orchestras?
This is a Grade 5 professional arrangement requiring independent part-playing capability and experienced section leadership. Advanced honor ensembles with strong players can perform it successfully; standard high school orchestras may find it challenging.
What is your refund policy?
Due to the instant-delivery digital nature of this product, refunds are not available after download. We encourage you to review the score preview image and specifications carefully before purchasing.
