Apr 23 12 6:34 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	This is a medley for a piano I arranged, played and recorded, and it's the first video of the series where I'm trying to include the best themes out there (in my opinion and having to sacrifice some). I hope you all enjoy this, and I will upload the next series, once a week. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z4hRre9Tmmc Any thoughts of the next themes that should appear? Which are indispensable? Cheers

What method did you use to get the Alien music down? How do you choose which themes to play? I'm interested in connecting with other movie theme fans out there who perform UNPUBLISHED music we all love.

The Alien theme was quite easy as it's slow and has few notes on harmony, just by hearing the original I realized what's the part I wanted. About my criteria in this series, at the beggining I choosed 28 horror themes if I'm not wrong, then I clasified them by keys and ordered following a pattern of emotional contrasts, so in the process I had to remove some themes that didn't fit in. To connect keys I modulated using the related keys.

Please let me know when you're putting the rest of your themes up. I'm also interested in what the others are. As I pursue this transcribing further, I wonder what the legal hassles are if I wanted to get the rights to publish some of this music. I assume you'd need a lawyer to contact the rights holders(if you can find them) including the composer. I wonder how much it would cost overall as this type of music would probably appeal to a fairly small group of enthusiasts. Would it even be worth it in the end? Thoughts on this? (Can you picture Hal Leonard publishing the themes from Godzilla and suddenly students from all over the world start playing them and they end up becoming pop hits?)

I don't have the rights of any of my arrangements, so the companies can claim them whenever they want. Buying them is not an option for me, because it's very expensive.
