If any of you have some interesting scores then please feel free to share.

Best thread ever

Thanks Derek

I'll take the messiaen, feldman, cage, coltrane, coleman, stravinsky, Verse, and Xenakis! So, most of 'em! Even if I can't read most of 'em, my girlfriend can! Haha. Were you inspired by all the .pdf's I uploaded?

I WONDER if any Dumitrescu or Partch scores exist..

here's some related .pdf's (people can see the movie-related ones from the last moive you watched page)
http://megaupload.com/?d=UOROISK3 = project X: a Frank Zappa score... quintet to Frank Zappa (guitar, flute, violin, violoncello, bass).


http://www.sendspace.com/file/ppgrwu = John Cage and Recording by Yasunao Tone.pdf ... interesting stuff.. info about prepared pianos and whatnot... great if you're into experimental/avant garde music.

This blog has a load of good stuff - worth checking out Lachenmann's Gran Torso (though I suspect it's the same one Derek linked above). I read music fairly well, but it's entirely impenetrable for me. But it's not one of those 'interpretive' things like Treatise.

Dumitrescu certainly has scores - I checked out some of his from my uni library last year. It's amazing, but very difficult to play right. If you can find them, some of Dusapin's string quartets touch on similar territory, and are a lot better (IMO and all that)

I don't tend to scan a lot of the scores I get, I'm afraid. Maybe I should start... If you can find Igor Ozim's studies in contemporary violin (or something like that) it's utterly amazing (and has Lachenmann's utter bastard piece Toccatina).

Yeah the Lachenmann is the one you uploaded a while ago.Yep. I figured there was no point in keeping these hidden for my own cerebral worth haha.

Thanks for the links so far.

Does Branca have scores that are available to look at? THough I a lot of them wouldn't amount to much ("play all the strings on this detuned guitar really fast here"), they'd still be nice to read, Chatham's CRIMSON GRAIL too.

The best score I have is on one of RICH WOODSON'S ELLIPSIS's releases, the booklet contains the score (I guess for those who for some reason think his music has improvisation in it, even though there are sections where all the instruments play like 600 of the same notes in a row!), and uh.. yeah.

My favorite score is that ZOMBY score. Derek, you know what I'm talking about :)

just what the hell does one do with a score?

Of course I do!Read it, use it as a reference, see the musical ideas on paper etc.

thanks Derek! rothko chapel!!!!!!!

scores are for influence/inspiration, fun, to play yourself, wheeee. Everyone wants to know how to play songs!
