David Vincent 8 Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 I don't think they are all Hal Leonard Signature Edition, but I have the suite from JFK, the 3 Harry Potter, 1941 March, Escapades from Catch Me If You Can, Excerpts from Close Encounters of the Third Kind, E.T. Adventures on Earth, Happy Birthday Variations, Raider's March, Highlights from Jurassic Park, Call of the Champions, Olympic Fanfare and Theme, Superman March, the Patriot and a lot of Star Wars too.

David Vincent 8 Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 I do...I just always assumed people were talking about CDs... Can't read music anyways. Oh well.Yes, most of us buy or trade for John Williams CDs and the movies on DVD, but some fans who are also musicians collects sheets music.I am unable to read music as I am not a musician, but using a MIDI program and copying the notes, I am able to make a MIDI file from a sheet music.By the way, I know that The Sorcerer's Stone - Children's Suite is pretty rare so if somebody has it and wants to trade with me, you can PM me.Can anybody post a listing of all the John Williams orchestral scores published by Hal Leonard ?

Joe Brausam 214 Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 I have the JFK Suite, Hogwarts Forever and the Horn Concerto signature editions, though I am DYING for them to make a Born on the Fourth of July Signature Edition (end credits suite!).

KingPin 201 Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 I have all of them (except piano reductions of Catch Me If You Can and Schindler's List, because I have them in full score), and am eagerly anticipating the next four installments (NBC Mission Theme, Sound the Bells, Flying Theme from E.T., and Suite from Jaws), which I am told from my sheet music dealer are expected around December of this year.

At least for the End Credits. The SE scores are the versions Williams conducts in concert. He doesn't perform the End Credits in concert, but a different, 3-movement concert suite from the movie (Theme, Cua Viet River, The Early Days), which would be wonderful in a Signature Edition score.I'd personally like to see SE scores of the Jurassic Park theme, maybe a suite of the concert versions from Empire of the Sun, The Reivers (narrator and orchestra), and Parade of the Slave Children, but that's probably just more wishful thinking.

Joe Brausam 214 Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 That would be awesome, a Caddilac of the Skies Signature Edition. Also I was on jwpepper.com and they have Sound the Bells! listed as in stock. It shows a signature edition cover, so I assume it is. The score alone's item number is 2475787 and the complete set's number is 2475786.You know what else would be cool? Seven Years in Tibet, I actually bought the only arrangement I can find available, a John Moss concert band arrangement, which isn't too bad, but is in no way a replacement for a signature edition. I'd like a Munich suite too with Prayer for Peace, Thoughts of Home, and Remembering Munich. I just ordered a string orchestra arrangement of Prayer for Peace from Pepper, so I am excited to be getting that (doesn't ship till its October 1st release).

Joe Brausam 214 Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 Its a score published by Hal Leonard that is basically exactly as Williams wrote it, and he writes a message in it describing the piece and signs off on it. Its a pretty neat thing to have! Easily recognizable by its dark blue cover. Haha, I'm horrible at explaining these things! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMan 0 Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 What about Memoirs Suite? That would be awesome!

I'm so particular about scores, I won't buy anything that has an arranger's name next to Williams. how did u find those KingPin. I go on Hal Leonard Constantly and nothing ever changers.I emailed another music dealer to find out this information (Luck's Music Library, which already has Jaws/NBC News/Sound the Bells/E.T. Flying listed, but with no instrumentation specified, which according to LML, means that the music is coming soon, and is available once the instrumentation is up). I had been trying to get HL to give me release dates, but they aren't always reliable in responding to emails or updating the website. The Munich tracks are not technically SE scores, but HL String Orchestra scores, although they are written for strings by Williams himself as there is no arranger listed (Hatikva comes with optional wind parts). Isabel's Horse and Buggy from Stepmom is another of the String Orch scores (which is why I didn't list it in the SE list I posted above). I was fortunate enough to buy it when I did, because now it only available for rental. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Children's Suite is nine movements based on themes from the movie, each movement featuring a different section of the orchestra (example: Quidditch for brass, Voldemort for bassoons, Hogwarts Forever for horns). Hedwig's Flight is basically the Prologue track from the OST. The only thing that the two suites truly have in common are Nimbus 2000 and Harry's Wondrous World.
