OK, not the greatest piano solo ever, I was just really curious how this electronic 80's classic was adapted for piano! Still fun to play -

Although the 1943 "Jane Eyre" starring Joan Fontaine and Orson Welles (& scored by Bernard Herrmann!) is my Jane of choice, I've always adored this beautiful melody by John Williams (composed for the 1970 adaptation starring Susannah York and George C. Scott)

I don't have a real synth setup, this was my best attempt to emulate Eno's beautiful track with tweaked standard keyboard settings. I thought it turned out nicely, so I decided to edit together some of my favorite images from Lynch's gorgeous film. Apparently David Lynch had fallen in love with Brian Eno's ambient piece "An Ending - Ascent" and asked him (along with Roger Eno and Daniel Lanois)...

I remember when I first saw this in the theater my mind was blown at how powerful the score was, this piece being a particular standout. Coppola was clearly an admirer of Holst's "Mars: Bringer Of War" (he also had a piece in Apocalypse Now “Nung River" with a similar driving rhythm.) Side note: I love when Anthony Hopkins plays a badass.

1. Big Battle (Main Theme quoted from 1:56 to 2:56) 2. First Attack (2:57 to 5:29) 3. Desert Theme (5:30 to 10:04) I absolutely adore the 2 recent Dune films, but that doesn't diminish my 40 year worship of David Lynch's broken but gorgeous epic. The aesthetic is so wonderfully strange and unmistakably Lynch. The colorful score by Toto was definitely one of the 1st movie soundtracks that caught...

(Main theme starts at 1:26) What a fantastic book, movie and soundtrack! Surprisingly there is no official sheet music published for this beautiful score - I'm reading from a fan transcription here.

Not Danny Boyle's finest hour, but I've always enjoyed the beautiful score by Mr. Badalamenti. I'm reading from the 2 published sheets here.

Being a child of the 80's I have a lot of nostalgia for this piece. I was very happy to find sheet music for it -

I've always enjoyed John Morris' (Young Frankenstein, The Elephant Man) fun theme for this movie. And Tim Curry is hilarious, as always. Playing from the published sheet music here -

I love this movie so much, nothing else quite like it. Great score by Maurice.

Piano solo for the beautiful "Regan's Theme" written for the awful (but kind of entertaining and unique!) John Boorman Exorcist sequel from 1977. Quentin Tarantino of course knows how to mine the lesser known classics, and used this piece to incredible effect in The Hateful Eight.

My favorite live-action Disney movie - I don't think a St. Patrick's day has gone by where I didn't watch it. Incredible cast and practical FX! It took me several years to locate a copy of the sheet music.

Reading from the published sheet music.
