Sheet music for the musically inclined...

Wow, thanks for pointing out to me. Lol, that is so completely random and strange.

So you mean it’s all written as if it was in C Major? That’s really strange, is there any particular reason for that? Seems like it’s just more work for both the composer, orchestrator and the performer. I would guess all those sharps and flats would become really annoying.

This is amazing! Funny, cause I was just listening to the soundtrack on my bike ride home from work today, and I was wondering what the Axiom part of the score would sound like if it was done on piano. It’s definitely the most majestic part of the score, I’m surprised the cues don’t repeat as much as they should. It’s well written and beautiful indeed.

Oh and I edited out all the sharps and flats weirdness…

Apologize if the recording is a bit weak, I had to do it on my lame digital piano.

Definitely, and the theme is really great, I wish it would have been used more. The only other part where it appears is in the 2815 AD near the end, played on the music box, and it sounds amazing there as well. Darn Tom Newman, creating these great melodies but not using them enough! :slight_smile:

That’s computers for you… :sunglasses:

Yup. Sometimes you’ll see a key signature, but the majority of the times you don’t, with the accidentals simply notated in each measure. As for why… I don’t really know. But my guess is that it makes it easier to troubleshoot problems and make changes during the recording process… for instance, if there’s a wrong note in the room in measure 137, I think it might be easier having all the accidentals in each measure rather than having to check back to see the latest key it was in. Since recording time is expensive and the cues aren’t published, I can kind of see where it makes sense. Of course in anything that would be professionally published (such as an official piano or band arrangement) it would be given a key signature…

As per miafka’s advice, I’ve uploaded a video of the arrangement to youtube;

Great arrangement, and really nice phrasing and performance. Nice!

Wow, I just have to say, you played that so beautifully! o_o That’s one of my favorite songs from the movie. (I admit, it gets me a bit teary-eyed for some reason) I favorited it so I can listen to it whenever I want now. xP

Cool topic, too! Too bad I can’t read music. ^^; I have all these instruments, yet really no idea how to play them…kind of sad.

Very cool! I am terrible at piano, but that was wonderful

wow i love that song!!! cool and i used to play cello and that looks hard!!!

Wow. Nice job. I play the drums so I have no idea how to play that but it looks really good. =) REALLY nice job there.

It sounded nice, but not very familiar. I’ll have to watch the movie again (oh well, i guess i’ll have to <img src=“{SMILIES_PATH}/grinandwink.gif” alt=“;-D” title="Grin and

Wink" /> )

Oh, wow. That was gorgeous. I dream of being able to play like that.

I’ll print off the sheet music and give it a go, but I doubt I’ll get very far. But now you’ve uploaded the video, it’ll help me out with timing and what it should sound like.

Wonderful performance!

EDIT: A quick question I wanted to ask as someone who sucks at theory, what do those dotted lines mean that connect the treble and bass? For example, in bar 13?

The lines are actually connecting individual notes, I’m indicating that those notes are a combined single melody/phrase and should be emphasized as such rather than just playing them as notes in the chord. You might be able to hear it in the video. But some notes have been passed to the left hand (bass clef) in order to be easier to play.

I don’t even know how proper that notation is but I’ve seen it used a few times and found it useful myself.

I’m going to give this a go later today :slight_smile:, thanks!!

theowne- Okay, cool. I think I’ve seen that notation in other pieces before, but it’s been a while since I’ve played any sheet music and I forget these things very easily. :laughing:

I have to give this a try. How long did it take to wright.

A couple of hours or so. First just listening to the track and then figuring out the notes on the piano as it played. Then I had to write it up neatly.

It’s amazing that you were able to write that in two hours! I can’t wait to learn how to play it! :smiley:

Are you planning on writing sheet music for any of the other tracks?

That was great, just beautiful. My only suggestion would be to situate the camera up a bit higher so people can see what keys you are hitting. If you ever consider playing more WALL•E songs, please do “Horizon 12.2” or “Foreign Contaminant.”
