Been watching Dead Poets Society since it's been on Cinemax so much and really never noticed how much I love the score. I don't own the soundtrack but noticed it only has 4 tracks on the soundtrack! What gives?!?! Any chance of an expanded edition?
why expanded edition? is there anything else in the film that wasn´t released? As far as I remember, the film includes very little music so those 4 tracks can cover vast majority of what Jarre wrote for the movie.
If memory serves, the album is missing the haunting music for the sequence when Neil shoots himself. There is a track called "Neil," but I believe it's the music from the stage performance.

I believe Neil's suicide was not scored by Jarre, but tracked with music drawn from a preexisting source (I forget what it was though).

Methinks you should go back and take a listen. There's much more there than you remember.

This is on now and the music from this sequence, as ghoulish and odd-fitting a scene as it may be, remains a grail. There's some lovely music for the aftermath that I believe is missing as well.
