do any serious collectors out there have a scan of danny elfman's orchestral score, or even a piano reduction? that would be an interesting post....

also, i've noticed a version of the end theme in the manner of philip glass. is this simply a tribute (if so, who scored the music?) or an actual contribution by glass?

I'm pretty sure it's a tribute, probably scored by Alf Clausen, who does most of that work...

I just saw Philip Glass play here in Seattle, just one piece. While I was impressed by his playing, the "extended" piece wouldn't have been hurt by being a minimal piece. It was the same thing over and over with NO variation.

That's what all of his music sounds like, and ironically, it is an example of "minimalist" composition, though they stretch on for hours and hours.

Here's a joke:

Any decent music store (especially a local store that supplies music to school bands and orchestras) should have catalogs from various publishers that they can order from and the orchestral versions should be available.

Most of Clausen's music is published by TCF Music Publishing (ASCAP). Some of it is published by Fox Film Music Corp. (BMI)

So knowing that you should be able to find some stuff in a catalog somewhere.

The Philip Glass-like version of the "Simpsons" theme is on the "Go Simpsonic" album, and according to the credits it is just a homage and was arranged by Alf Clausen. I
