I will use this thread to break down the complete score as heard in the film and notate any unreleased music, etc. For now, let's start with a Chronological order of the OST. Does this sound right to those who have seen the film? 01 Overture (1:18) [not heard in film and probably not written for it, but might as well leave it as an album opener] 02 The Witching Hour (4:40) 03 To Giant Country (2:33) 05 Sophie's Nightmare (1:57) 07 Fleshlumpeater (1:36) 06 Building Trust (3:25) 08 Dream Jars (3:30) [this is possibly a concert arrangement, or partial film cue, partial album extension] 09 Frolic (1:43) 04 Dream Country (10:10) 10 Blowing Dreams (3:46) 13 There Was a Boy (3:29) 11 Snorting and Sniffing (2:13) 15 The Boy's Drawings (3:05) 14 The Queen's Dream (3:08) 16 Meeting the Queen (3:00) 12 Sophie's Future (2:30) 17 Giants Netted (2:03) 18 Finale (2:13) 19 Sophie and the BFG (8:08) All corrections welcome!

Hi everyone, In case this hasn't been mentioned before... BFG sheet music now available in piano solo format: musicnotes only has - so far - 7 titles available digitally, whereas the hard copy folio has 2 extra selections. Publisher Hal Leonard has digital versions of all 9 cues. The piano reductions seem relatively easily arranged. No news yet on orchestral signature editions. from publisher: http://www.halleonard.com/search/search.action?_c&subsiteid=64&keywords=BFG&searchcategory=00 digital: http://www.musicnotes.com/sheet-music/show/the-bfg/0 hard copy: http://www.sheetmusicplus.com/title/the-bfg-sheet-music/20331729 May everyone be well. Cheers, Peter
