Hi All,

I have come late to this group (I was working on my PhD and missed it until now) sorry! Anyway, I am a folk muscian when I am not studying computers and and I was wondering, is there any sheet music, song books, fake books, etc... that can give me a leg up on how to play the Firefly theme, Ballad of Jaynestown, etc... I would dearly love to make some of that music.

Thanks

Welcome startroop:

I found this place. Just type in Joss Whedon as artist. They have most but not all the songs from Firefly. I was surprised not to see Hero of Canton, my favorite.

It lists at about $14.95.

Also welcome to our site. If you start a thread saying "new here" and I am sure you will get a lot of responses.

Many Thanks!

It beats the heck out of faking a chord progression after listening to it a bunch of times. I suspect that the theme is in a weird minor key so the chords won't be common ones. I think I will do as you suggest.

Hey StarTroop, welcome to the party! You may be surprised to find out how many people have only found the 'Verse in the last few years. I was working overnights and planning my wedding for the few months Firefly was on TV, so I didn't even know about it until Serenity hit theaters. So you aren't alone!

The good news is you're just in time -- they released a book of piano sheet music from Firefly just a few months ago. Amazon has it here: http://www.amazon.com/Firefly-Music-Original-Television-Soundtrack/dp/
142342056X/ref=pd_bbs_1/002-4323352-4420810?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1181676984&sr=8-1 and I think there's a way to order from Amazon through FFF.net, so that FFF.net gets some support, but I can't seem to find where that is at the moment.

Again, welcome!

:baghead:

The book looks good, though it's piano and I an guitar player, I can puzzle it out. I did try and get it through FFF but that was not successful. I am going to get back to work and give it a try when I have half a brain.

THanks!

This guy: http://www.brianburkemusic.com/transcript.htm has pretty good (but ugly) versions of the theme and Hero of Canton for guitar.

Good luck! I'm a violinist always looking for people to play with...actually...needing a guitar player to play with this summer for some Firefly/Serenity events... I hope you have fun!

Hi

I wish I could play with you, but its been a while since I lived in North Dakota. Music has been my avocation for a long time, its a great balm when the world becomes too intense. It would be very cool to do some of this music with a decent fiddle player.

Hey welcome and it's great that you're here!! ( just thought I'd say that as I have no knowledge of sheet music to contribute) Couldn't you just run the piano music through Composer and have it transfer to guitar??

I am not familiar with Composer (he says as blushing computer geek). What does the software do?

It allows you to input a piece of music and then you can change range, key, or instrumentation and the software will adjust the music to the desired notes.

Let me get on the web. It would be much easier than me dredging up my 20 plus year music theory to do the same ;-)
