Hello all

This link takes you to musicroom.com and a book called great piano solos (black). The song in question should be in it....

http://www.musicroom.com/se/ID_No/044580/details.html

And since we are on the subject.... Anybody heard / compared this piece of music to the Arvo Pärt composition "Fratres" for viola and piano (the 1980 version). If you get a chance, compare the piano part that comes after about 1.15 of the mentioned Fratres version with the piano figure from this song......

yeah, I`m a fan of his new composition in the movie `A Series Of Unfortunate Events` I fell in love with the music the second I heard it.

sorry for double posting, I was wondering if someone could get me sheet music for the song The Letter That Never Came from A Series Of Unfortunate Events

i was searching on google + i found this. Well anyway i`d really like to download that any othe name song-its so relaxing + i`ve tried to buy it but they dont have it any more-and i also cant take the hassle of buying online, so does anyone know where theres a link to listen to the song? it`d be great if i could save it on windows media

As well as a few other composers, I agree with every single one of the preceeded replies concerning the beauty of Thomas Newman`s pieces.

What I can`t understand is why the people who are desperate to get their hands on sheet music from his pieces have spent apparently 2 years trying to do so.

I too began trying to find some, but failed not unlike most of you have and will, but if you want it that bad you should really go to the source. Unlike (an I`m making an assumption here) everyone who`s posted something over the last 3 years on this forum, I have met Mr. Newman through desperation of acquiring some sheet music (and being a university film student) and believe me, he was more than happy to make a couple of copies.

Now, don`t even bother taking the soft option and asking me whether I can send em over, because I`m not going to do it. If you are that desperate to play one of the greats, you should take the time to find out how you can contact Mr. Newman. Believe me, I`m sure he`d love to hear you`re a fan of his and wouldn`t mind helping you out - every composer loves to hear their music played by someone else. Besides, he`s a hell of a great guy too.

If you do have the patience to actually try to contact Mr. Newman, my fisrt advice would be to contact the record company.

Hope this helps... you only get out what you put in

Hi Maggot, that`s amazing that you met Newman. I, not unlike the variety of people ahead of me, am looking for the sheet music to Meet Joe Black for a string quartet to play at my wedding next year. I hope your advice works...I`m not a film student and I really have no connections, but I`m willing to put a few man hours into getting what I want. Thanks for the tip...it was so simple

Maggot:

You said you got the sheet music directly from Thomas Newman and you think all of the thousands of people who want the music should go directly to Newman and get it from him.

Somehow I think that would be quite a nuisance for him, as well as making a simple task exceedingly cumbersome for lots of people.

Here`s a better idea: Why don`t you just send what you have to ONE person - me - and I will post it online so that anybody who wants it can get it readily.

You would be doing a lot of people a big favor, and saving Newman a mostrous headache.

If you`re trying to work out some of Thomas Newman`s music, here is something to get you started:

http://www.cerulean-pictures.com/sheet_movie.html

This site has the part of the music from `Road to Perdition` `The Shawshank Redemption` & "Meet Joe Black`, all as PDF files.

Hi everyone. I just wanted to let you know that I did attempt to contact Thomas Newman by mail and contacted his office and as expected, there is no way to reach him. Unless any of you are able to fly out to L.A. and personally hunt him down, the chances are slim you will be able to get a hold of his sheet music.

Thanks for the latest website with PDF files of his music. Unfortunately, I`m looking for Meet Joe Black for my wedding and I would really like to have "That Next Place" for the string quartet. If any of you have suggestions or know of someone that is able to create sheet music by ear (it`s a stretch, I know) then please let me know. Thanks!

How would one go about tracking Mr. Newman down?

There have been tons of posts about Thomas Newman begging for sheet music from various soundtracks. I just wanted to post this to help out anyone who is looking for Newman's sheet music. Here's a summary of what has been found out:

This is a link for sheet music from these films:
Meet Joe Black - Forbidden Love
Road to Perdition - Piano Duet and Road to Chicago
