The sad truth is that most written film scores are often locked away at the studios like the Ark of the Covenant - never to be seen again until Indy just happens to hit the very container it's located in during a haphazard car chase 30 years later. Sorry...my mind went blank there for a moment...where was I?
Oh yes...now for the past several months, I have been involved in a project during which I have embarked on transcribing, engraving and editing the original manuscript score for The Godfather in association with CineConcerts. Check them out...they do amazing work.
The best part of this work, other than preserving a digital copy of history, is that CineConcerts then takes that edited and re-engraved score and does a world tour - performing the entire length of the film with amazing live orchestras.
If you have never been to an event like this, you owe it to the film lover within yourself to attend one. There is absolutely nothing like watching a movie with a living breathing orchestra performing the score along to the picture.
If you live in Los Angeles, you are in luck! The event is coming to the Nokia Theater in January - tickets are currently on sale. Go out and enjoy The Godfather with the lush score by Nino Rota played for you live...it will change you!
