@StarWarsFan786 Can you email a copy of them to me please?

[tubadude13579]

Hey, is there anyway you could send me via email or something of the sort the sheet music for this please?

[StarWarsFan786]

I have the sheet music.

As someone below previously mentioned I would also suggest using the actual track on the soundtrack album as there is no editing and the time changes are more steady and it is easier to hear everything. Also, when the tuba kicks in with those Db quarter notes the tuba also plays those eighth runs that you have notated in the contrabassoon line. So either there were two tuba and two contrabassoons or for time and resource sake, just did a multitrack recording with the same players. Just thoughts.

[shizohal]

@tubamanRW Yeah man, you're right about those tuba runs. I have it in the back of my mind to redo this video using the soundtrack, but I have way less time on my hands nowadays. Are there big differences between the two? Would it be worth it?

[MarvinandLisa]

Wonderful job.

[edenocp]

The soundtrack author was more interested in the dramatic I think. Otherwise it is an awesome so-called record of events (serpo.com redbook pdf) regarding tonal language!

@xpy1000

Those are not jaws tones, that's actualy how the music sounded.

[TrevWks]

Why didn't you use the soundtrack album which has the complete music as composed? The movie edited a lot out.

You kick ass!!!

Hi, maybe should you try listening the version from the audio disc, it may help, the part is called 'Wils signals' - on the 'collectors' edition soundtrack' it is the version I own of the Original Soundtrack :)

There you might be able to hear more notes, no dialogue etc :)

anyway, I really liked it when I type 'Close encounters of the third kind' and found your transcription :D

Great job ^^

Humans: "We declare war on your inferior species."

Aliens: "Who're you callin' inferior? We'll vaporize your planet faster in the blink of an eye, just you watch! You'll get to experience Alderaan's fate!"

Humans: "Show us you have the balls!"

Aliens: "That's it! Your days are numbered!"

Keyboard guy: "What did you have me say to them?"

CO: "Invited them to watch the World Series and have some beer and nachos. Asked them if this Saturday's okay. They said yes."

Excellent work!!!

Anyone notice the "Jaws" tones at the end?

Nice little touch...

Actually, now-days, most audio is still basically the same KHz. Usually either 44KHz or 88KHz, but with HD and everything, some movies are even as high as 190 something KHz, which is a huge bit-rate, but for soundtracks (which i am guessing you used, unless you just ripped the audio) its normally around 44KHz, to keep the file small, the only difference is how much of the audio is actually picked up, and the accuracy of the transmissions, which isnt much different now either

[shizohal]

@hotstix12 I ripped the audio from my DVD. Can't tell you exactly what bitrate I chose at this point, but it's nothing fancy. Probably 44Khz, maybe lower. At any rate, it'd be nice to have a really high quality digital copy - it would make the slowed-down playback so much clearer.
