Beautiful arrangement by Guido Rennert for solo voice and large, symphonic, wind orchestra

"You Raise Me Up" is a world-renowned ballad by Norwegian composer Rolf Løvland with lyrics by Brendan Graham. The song speaks of hope, support, and the strength people can give one another. In Guido Rennert's arrangement for large symphonic wind orchestra, the soulful melody unfolds with particular impact – from its tranquil, lyrical opening to a powerful, emotional climax. The work is now among the most popular modern concert pieces in the wind orchestra repertoire.
