One of the more difficult aspects of modern music is a distinct lack of availabilty 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 optimised jpegs designed to fit
correctly on A4 size paper. They are made freely available for study purposes.
Performance of either work requires the composer's permission.
