Scores
One of the more difficult aspects of modern music is a distinct lack of availability of scores for study purposes. While it is a very straightforward process to obtain a score for just about anything that Beethoven or Mozart might have written, it is far more difficult to obtain a score for most of the film music written in the last thirty years. The development of advanced notation software has not only made composing and orchestrating more efficient, but makes sharing the end result easier. All works included on this page were composed and orchestrated using Sibelius 3.
Included below are the scores for two pieces from two different games. The Zeppelin is one of the more up-tempo pieces from The Polar Express game score and was written for a sixty-piece orchestra. Goddard's Insides is a quirkier piece written for a 30 piece orchestra and a Theremin. Both of these pieces can be downloaded as mp3's from the music page (or by clicking the links above). The pages are optimized jpegs designed to fit correctly on A4 size paper. They are made freely available for study purposes. Performance of either work requires prior permission.
