Campaign for Real Sheet Music

So you can get a few sheets from "Music Notes" and related sites, but they are so rudimentary as to be worthless. I want music that will let me lay like Sandra Ghemdib. Or our very own subrussian. Anyone else?

Goldfrapp song book would be just great! As in you know a song book with the sheet music, lyrics, a few rare photographs. There are lots of music song books out there, I hope Mute or whoever else has the good sense to endorse such an item.

Whickwithy

Indeed!

Wow! Just ran across this from 2005. And, I like Chris' suggestion. Put it in with something like the box set. Now, even though I'm not getting one, there's a campaign worth attempting.

Nice Whickwithy agreed! ;)

Somebody was selling what they purported to be original scores of Kate Bush studio sessions. Do such things exist? Would they for Goldfrapp?

Border_Mind

I would have thought so, but I would imagine that either they are in the Wil Gregory studio or with Mute? I only guess, someone is welcome to speculate further...

Remember the tweet pic just before the Union Chapel gig - that showed sheet music for "Melancholy Sky". And since Will is a proper composer and all, and they use orchestras, I'm sure that full scores exist for all their songs

Border_Mind

I remember that, but getting all nerdy on you that was Hackney St. Johns ;)

Whickwithy

Yah, they certainly have them.

have any of you had a look on google in regard to this? This is something I came across anyway

Sorry actually dunno if it is much good anyway, hence the campaign for Real sheet music

back to the drawing board I guess, something like this would be a good start surely ;)

How do I join the campaign? Or where do I sign?

Border_Mind

I think this is the place, then we discuss where we take the campaign from here, letter writing, a petition, stickers and leaflets anybody? :(|)

www.change.org is a good place to start. Very effective.

Thanks, B_M,

A neat feature of this site is that if you click on the "Play" button, you get to hear how the music sounds on a piano/keyboard.

Sadly, this illustrates how impoverished the arrangement is. Like a lot of "pop" sheet music, basically its written for people who can't play beyond a beginner's level. I want more! Although technically I could play a "Grade 8+" arrangement, I'm just hopeless at working it out for myself.

I wonder if we have a contact address or email for Alison, Will or Mute?

Any ideas?

Howdy, Stranger!
