Picnic at Hanging Rock - Piano Theme

This piece from the movie is entitled 'The Ascent of the Rock' and is by Australian composer Bruce Smeaton. I've never been able to find a stand-alone recording of it so I decided to transcribe it from the dvd and record it for myself. Could be better but it was the best I could do on the night! Please enjoy.

I watched the film months ago, and was quite perplexed by it. Not sure I would say I loved the movie but it was a haunting and very mysterious experience to soak in. Part of what made it that way was the entrancing music such as this piece entitled "The Ascent". You might want to add that title to the tags btw.

'The Ascent of the Rock' is the full name - according to Mr.Smeaton (who got on to me - which was nice). Will add to tags. Cheers.

Thanks Sean that's awesome. I am not even close to your ability but would love to get a copy of your transcription of this piece if that was at all possible? Its such a mind blowing piece and your version is great. Have you recorded it?? Would really love to get it on cd!

Thanks for your time and speedy response to my last mail.

Oops - should have signed off as Sean. Here in Ireland that's what people call me - Sean being the Gaelic for John. Often leads to confusion! Cheers.
