RedBard 71 Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 With the release of Batman in full score and previously Edward Scissorhands in full score, Omni Music Publishing is proving itself to be a pioneer in selling professionally-bound full scores of films.Those two scores are what I believe to be the tip of the iceberg as an invaluable resource for potential film composers, especially at institutes and universities who have film composing programs (I'm looking at you, UCLA). So it goes without saying that I have had a wish list for what I believe Omni should publish next for future film scores, and I personally feel like I'm not the only one here who feels that.So I'm going to start things off. Full scores I would like to see from Omni in the future include:Atlantis: The Lost EmpireHow to Train Your DragonBack to the FutureThe RocketeerI don't care who says my list is cheesy or uninspired, or that there are more interesting scores out there. If there are, go ahead and list them. Just remember:De gustibus non est disputandum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dixon Hill 4,233 Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 I hear that has exciting and innovative score instructions such as "place cat on synth keyboard and scratch behind ear or under chin, producing a rhythmic up-down paw motion" and "fart into microphone, then process."

WilliamsStarShip2282 308 Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 You can get the " LOTR Symphony" score. I forget from which publishing house it comes from, but you can rent it for "perusal". You might have to pay a little bit for it and shipping or whatever, usually not much.

Sharkissimo 1,973 Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Problem is, most moments I really want in score form are not included in the symphonic presentation.Yep, same here.From what I've heard, Williams's scores are out of the question. At least while he's still with us.Top of the non-Williams wishlist:North:A STREETCAR NAMED DESIREVIVA ZAPATA!CLEOPATRASPARTACUSDRAGONSLAYERGoldsmith:CHINATOWNCAPRICORN ONEFIRST BLOODPAPILLONTWILIGHT'S LAST GLEAMINGDAMNATION ALLEYMorricone:Anything from the 60s, 70s or 80s would be a blessing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Score 770 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Morricone:Anything from the 60s, 70s or 80s would be a blessingUnfortunately, also these are out of question. Unless he changed his mind in the last few years.For the wishlist, excluding Williams and Morricone, I add:Korngold - The Adventures of Robin HoodRozsa - Ben HurSome scores by Herrmann like Vertigo and Marnie. Zimmer - Gladiator (yes, I like many parts of this score)Goldsmith - Alien, The Mummy, The River WildSteiner - Gone with the WindJarre - Lawrence of Arabia Images 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filmmusic 1,823 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I would love all the Williams scores, but as Mr. Shark said, this is out of the question.So, my list with the 5 most wanted scores would be something like this:LEGEND (Goldsmith)CONAN THE BARBARIAN (Poledouris)BATMAN RETURNS (Elfman)WILLOW (Horner)BRAVEHEART (Horner) Images 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixon Hill 4,233 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I'd also like some Zimmer, maybe da Vinci or Inception, mostly just to see how it all breaks down between the orchestra, electronics, soloists etc. Images 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gnome in Plaid 219 Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Since it's been pretty much established that Williams and Morricone scores are off-limits,The Lord of the Rings (Shore) - I can dream, can't I?Patton (Goldsmith) - A friend told me this was released at one time, but I have nothing to back up that claim.Apollo 13 (Horner) - I'd love even just to see "The Launch" and "Master Alarm."The Cell (Shore) - The "visual" "manifesto" approach alone makes this interesting.The Fountain (Mansell) - "Death Is the Road to Awe" makes my top 5 list for the last decade.Kingdom of Heaven (Gregson-Williams) - Same goes for "The Battle of Kerak."Islands in the Stream (Goldsmith)October Sky (Isham)The Departed (Shore)Naked Lunch (Shore)Cool Runnings (Zimmer)The Land Before Time (Horner)The Silence of the Lambs (Shore)Sahara (Mansell)Edge of Darkness (both the Shore and Corigliano versions)Requiem for a Dream (Mansell)Grand Piano (Reyes) - If you're not familiar with this, by all means check it out.American History X (Dudley)42 (Isham)Persepolis (Bernet)Eastern Promises (Shore)House of Sand and Fog (Horner)Halo 2 (O'Donnell/Salvatori)Appaloosa (Beal)The Hurt Locker (Beltrami)The Hours (Glass)The Lion in Winter (Barry)Well, that was certainly a longer list than I intended it to be, but it can't hurt (maybe some of these might even see the light of day!)

A bit of "threadomancy" here! I've recently attempted to acquire the rights to publish TMP, and I know Tim (Omni) has looked into Star Trek before as well. At the moment though, I'm afraid it's like anything Williams - a hard "no". Licensing is a really painful process, and it can seem pretty random as to whether it will be granted or not. My most recent request, put in almost as a "this'll never get approved, but I'll ask just in case" received a response almost immediately (rare to begin with), and even more surprisingly was an affirmative. Especially surprising as it contains the Star Wars Main Title and partial statements of The Force Theme, Imperial March and Carbon Freeze cues!

chrissiddall 162 Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Out of interest, would anyone consider "pre-ordering" a score, to help mitigate the upfront cost/risk that one faces from licensing and print costs? Since the licensing fee is closely tied to the volume of the print run (the size of which is entirely publisher's choice), it would also be helpful in gauging the size of said required print run. I've had a copyright application to publish one of James Horner's major scores accepted, and whilst it's almost a certainty that the interest will be strong, the upfront cost is pretty daunting!!

Not in this specific case, but I am actually exploring something close to this at the moment in terms of audio; both individual parts, and the reverse with a single part removed (so as to serve as a "play along" track). I think I infer correctly that you're talking about them being released in a notation software format. I'm afraid that is extremely unlikely to happen due to the amount of control you would have to manipulate the work. You wouldn't for example expect a book publisher to release a novel in Word format.

Also, look for an early 90s score written for a resplendent and gothic horror film. Any guesses for the 90s score? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
