Nightmare Before christmas orchestral score

[Anonymous]

I am currently majoring in conducting in college and for my senior project, I’d really like to conduct the End Titles to Nightmare Before Christmas. I was wondering if anyone knew if the orchestral score exists and if so, where I might purchase it? I’ve looked all over the internet, and so far I’m quite pessimistic, but if anyone knows any other websites/publishing companies I should check out, please email me. Thanks!

I’m not sure if one exists right now. I’ve actually been working on transcribing it myself off and on, but it’s nowhere near complete.

That’s what I thought too. Too bad – the publishers should work on getting one available to the general public. Elfman’s music is amazing and the score to Nightmare Before Christmas I think would be performed a lot. If you find one, let me know!

Thanks

The score was puplished by hal leonard some years ago. I have it.

Any luck finding the score on the Internet? I’m a music production student and am fascinated by the sound of Elfman stuff, sort of like gothic-fariytale music.

I’m ‘re-scoring’ Tim Burtons first film Vincent in an Elfman style for one of my final project. I’d love to take a look at the score for NBC…..

I have again spoken before thinking. The released TBNBC “score” contains only the songs, not the score. Well there is that finale/reprise thing but I´m sure you people were
looking for the real thing. Sorry. I shall go and kick myself in the ass.

Hi,

I have some original sessions scores of this movie :

Opening
Closing
End Credits
Finale
Reprise and Reprise Revised End

I can perhaps help you / I was looking for them for a long time

I would love to see those. Is there any way I can get into contact with you? I’m a composition student and would like to study his orchestration, etc… I know this is a few years late. But I’ve been scouring the internet!

Thanks

I too, would like to see these scores, preferably for the song “This is Halloween” and the preceding intro.
I’m not a composition student, but simply someone who loves Mr. Elfman’s music.
I am forming a band with a few friends, who all are fans of Elfman, and we would like to honor him by covering the song. If you could help (perhaps there is a Book to be bought) it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Sincerely,

There are a few bookswith all the songs from the film in it. They would be a good starting point for you to divide up the parts for your band, or add in your own parts. There is a piano vocal, a piano guitar and vocal, and an easy piano vocal version. Amazon.com search:
