[Score+Audio] "The Diva Dance" by French composer Éric Serra, for the movie The Fifth Element (1997). Premiére recording by Albanian soprano Inva Mula.

This girl seems to be the only one who really SINGS it live (must watch):

Eric Serra is a genius. This song calls for a wide vocal range, so I think it would be easier performed on the theremin. Does any precision thereminist dare to play it? Here is my first attempt:

I know it's not an accurate transcription, it's for education purposes only. It took me only 30 minutes. Any requests?

Thanks a lot : this score makes us wannabee coloraturas dream of hitting those high pitches someday. I'd like to ask my "ultravox" singing teacher to sing it for me. Is there any chance that you have the full score? (I mean with the other instruments, or maybe a piano version (I wonder if a piano version could ever be possible)).

@Aladdine72 You're welcome! I made this transcription by ear. The harmony is simple but I don't think I can create an interesting piano reduction, sorry.

What are the little 'x' symbols next to the notes?

[cordeiropascoal]

@nuttygirl2001 double sharps

[TheSadStranger]

could you please tell me what is the symbol in the second bar

thx in advance

[cordeiropascoal]

@TheSadStranger The second bar is a multimeasure rest, lasting 7 measures. Actually, the "second bar" are seven empty measures compressed into one. Search "Rest (music)" in Wikipedia. M. M. stands for "Maelzel metronome" or "Metronome mark".

@A9158162 It's all done by her, she is that amazing. No computers.

[MegaNob99]

@Aladdine72 Not to mention counter tenors. I really hope my voice can go that far one day.

[Aladdine72]

@cordeiropascoal Just as I thought : it is imossible to create a piano reduction for this, and since no instrumental version is to be found anywhere, I guess I can't hear it from my "ultravox" teacher.

Thanks a lot, anyway for your transcription : I'm sure we are a whole bunch of Sopranos out there who appreciate this.

[A9158162]

@Heleanus very impressive! I think quite a lot is done with computers but it's still amazing :-) she's awesome

[Heleanus]

@A9158162 I would have said the highest note(s)! I closely listened to it and some parts like fast crescendoes/decrescendoes seem overdubbed by computers, don't you think? Anyway, even if there are some parts done by computers, her voice still is impressive.

[A9158162]

@Heleanus some of it was done with computers for the films, the lowest note for example is impossible lol
