Does anyone know where I can find any film scores?

Question

I need help. I really want to find a film score, but I have had no luck. Does anyone know where to find them? I would perferrably like a Danny Elfman, Clint Mansell, or Bernard Herrman score. Thanks!

i would like the full orchestral score, not the cd

Answer 1

Another contact for an Elfman work.
Remember that rental publishers do not sent sheet music scores to individual musicians.

One title in the Schirmer rental catalog:

Danny Elfman, Serenada Schizophrana (2005) - 42 Minutes Category:
Orchestra - Large Orchestra
Chorus: small female chorus in mvt. 5
Orchestration: 3(2pic,afl).3(2ca).3(Ebcl,2bcl,asx).3(2cbn)/6.3.3(btbn)
+btbn(cbtbn).1(Cimbasso)/timp(perc).5perc/hp.2pf(syn).syn/str
(14.10.8.8.6)

Elfman is self-taught and has had no formal musical training.
Serenada Schizophrana is his first orchestral composition written
specifically for the concert hall. As the featured music in the
soundtrack to the IMAX film Deep Sea 3D, conducted by John Mauceri
and narrated by Johnny Depp and Kate Winslet, it is receiving
worldwide exposure. — March 2006

Answer 2

Do you want the audio recording or the actual sheet music?

The audio recordings are available anywhere a large variety of music is sold, such as record stores, Amazon, and iTunes. I have never seen sheet music of a full score available. There are often modified versions of popular movie music at music stores, but for the full, complete score, I think you would need to contact whoever owns the copyright on the music.

Answer 3

You might go to a music store to find if there are books out for these scores.

As to a full and complete score, that might be tougher
