I was thinking a bit about Firefly and how sad I was and then, out of the west (my ipod deck being on my left at work) cam the Magnificent Seven Main Theme from the Return of the Magnificient Seven, by Elmer Bernstein. An extremely FF/S-worthy piece of music it is in its own right, and then I remembered that there are only seven crew members left.

CHeered me right up it did.

By the way, if none of you are familiar with Elmer Bernstein's work on western film scores, you're missing out.

I like that piece of music and you are right, it's Firefly/Serenity-esque.

I am feeling a bit blue today, really wishing for more of our crew. I'm gonna go hunt that up and have a listen.

Thanks.

There's a great compilation CD out there called Best of the West that has that and some other nice western-film-style selections on it. Very enjoyable.

Try John Mellencamp's "Mr. Happy go Lucky" CD.

Very Firefly-esque type guitar and violin/fiddle.

Here's a link to Amazon. You can hear a bit to try it out.

Try Overture & Large World Turning.

Yes, I have an all guitar version of that song by Helm & Heik (they are a German guitar duo, just like Apocalytica do Metallica songs on four cellos, those guys do all kinds of soundtrack music on two guitars, that's very funny sometimes). I will probably use their Magnificent Seven interpretation for a Firefly vid, the pure guitar sound really fits to it.

I listened to it just yesterday, because I was collecting some music for MisterUniverse from my CD collection and thought how will it fits for Firefly/Serenity as well.

Have fun,
Capella

I don't know what inspired me to dig my copy out. Even some of the song titles fit.

Glad I could help After all, I AM Chief handyman...

Milford.. thanks for that suggestion.. sounds like a must have.. I'll be looking it up too!

I wish Edmonson would write some more FF/S type music and put it into a suite so we could all enjoy... someday..

Oh, these are some great suggestions...

I need more background music for a Serenity RPG campaign. I got maybe 100-200 tracks now that are suitable, but I just get excitable as to choice; like to have my options open. KF

Lord, I'm walking your way. Let me in, for my feet are sore, my clothes are ragged.
Look in my eyes, Lord, and my sins will play out on them as on a screen. Read them all.
Forgive what you can and send me on my path. I will walk on until you bid me rest.
