Doctor Who: The Girl in the Fireplace Melody

The melody in the beginning of the Doctor Who episode "The Girl in the Fireplace".
I love the new Doctor Who soundtrack by Murray Gold.

I converted a midi file into sheet music, transposed it and then recorded about 8 different melodies I played with my bassoon.
The ticking noise is from the metronom I used to keep myself in line

There are 4 versions in this video:
the normal version, one played 5 semitones higher, one played semitones higher and finally one played 8 semitones higher. The pitch was modified using Audacity which also served for the recording.

Does anyone knows where can I get the original music?

@csinygreekgirl

sadly no, this particular piece was never included on any soundtracks. there are several fanmade "unreleased" soundracks floating around youtube but I´ve never been able to find one that contains this music.

in case you manage to find it, let me know, will ya ^^

@csinygreekgirl guess what I just found? since yt won´t let me post links, search for "clockwork droids murray gold" ur the user "DoctorWho3172"

THIS IS SO COOL! I was so sad when I couldn't find this on itunes... but this is amazing! It's so cool that you could do this with your bassoon. Bassoons are kind of overlooked, aren't they :)

Nice, do you have the sheet music for it?

This sounds a bit Steam-punk-ish to me... This would serve me well in a little project of mine...

@Boomkinw00t Hey! I found the music! It was played in the doctor who: a celebration! It's not the original music as we hear in the beggining of this episode, but it's the best that I could find! You'll see that it's almost like the original!!!! I will upload it soon! :)
