[MUSIC] Fringe theme sheet music notes

I know some of you asked for this after my earlier performance, and here it is! I can read sheet music but am not terribly deft at transcription; thankfully, Claudio Matsuoka sent me the notes and graciously took the time to let me know:

I just compared your tutorial to the opening theme and tried a few variations, which are certainly not perfectly accurate but could give us some hints. My main changes are:

1 – Time signature in 4/4 instead of 6/8. The original arrangement repeats the three notes in the arpeggio twice, then the first two notes to complete the measure.

2 – This is still a bit obscure to me, but I think the third chord arpeggio is B D F instead of B D Ab, and the fourth chord is G B D instead of B D G (just an inversion, so no problem here)

3 – The third chord of the second part seems to be a Bb (in place of G7 of the first part). This is when the brass enters and the resulting combination of the brass note and the chord is similar to a construction used in Vangelis' Alpha.

Nice Vangelis connection, I love that melodic piece too!

Here's Claudio's video…

so you can see and hear what he's talking about — very kewl transition into the actual titles at the end:

Huzzah for embeddables — here's both a piano and fuller arrangement:
