When will this be available to order? Looking forward to it. I have seven of Omni's scores so far.

We are all waiting for anticipation! I'm sure this one will sell out quicker than you can say "beam me up Scotty!"


Per Feb. 9 Omni facebook page post, it is at the printers.

Yes indeed. It's going to be a fantastic book I'm sure. Tim's work is exceptional.

Just ordered mine - exciting. Order quickly, folks, there are only 35 currently in stock. (They have confirmed they'll be printing more.) Also took the opportunity to grab BACK TO THE FUTURE as well. Both are scores from which I'll learn a lot walking myself through.

Wow, it was 63 just a half-hour ago! So happy for Tim. This looks like another excellent seller!

I ordered my copy about 15 minutes ago. At the time, it said there were 64 left in stock. Now it says 21. The numbers are fluctuating, the pattern unrecognizable. I'm just glad I got my order in. Can't wait to get this.

Nicely played.

I am super-excited about this. I've never owned a full score before, and have very little experience reading them.

I recently began an endeavour to write a film score, to a project a friend is getting off the ground. No expectations if I don't get there, but it's a goal I've long had and will see where it takes me.

And if I'm going to start being more score-literate, certainly my favourite and the one I'm most familiar with is the one to start with.

I also picked up BACK TO THE FUTURE for its relative complexity as well.

With the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and Canadian, not to mention the shipping, one could go broke educating oneself, but kudos to Tim and company!

I'll be purchasing the two Batman scores soon. Then I will have all but three of Omni's scores. I love the quality of these scores. Looking forward to their future endeavors.
BTW, it says only 5 in stock now.

Wonderful. Do you try to read them cover to cover in one sitting, with the score playing, or do you tend to break it up? Just curious as to that. And, do you write score yourself or are just a rabid fan like most of us?

Before this thread began, I didn't realize one could get these commercially in any way. I assumed it was off to one's town's reference library to gaze at them from within those four walls, never to have them on our own shelves.

I play the music and follow the score all the way through in one sitting.
I used to play piano and have done some composing in the past. I taught myself to read orchestral scores back when I was in middle school (late 1970s) and bought a few pocket scores (can't tolerate those things now...too small). I have accumulated a considerable collection of study scores for concert works now (in 9"X11" or thereabouts), and have one actual conductor's score (Sibelius' Symphony No. 7, it's huge).

Wonderful! If it's not too annoying, can you give a basic idea to the layperson what the difference is between Omni's "full score" presentations and a conductor's score?

It's the same thing. Master score of all instruments. Some conductor's scores are in C and some are transposed. I think it's easier to read a Score in C personally but opinions vary.

A conductor's score is just larger so that it can be easily read when it's sitting on the podium a few feet away from your eyes. The one I have is about A3 size (12"X16.5") and is like reading a newspaper when you're sitting on the sofa. Study scores are just reduced size facsimiles of the conductor's score. Of course, Omni's scores are specifically done as study scores, and are not facsimiles of the conductor's score, but transcriptions of them. They have all the same information as the conductor's score has, and could be printed larger to be a conductor's score (the studios probably would not be happy if that was done).
You know, I think I might go a little overboard with parentheses.

I prefer scores in concert pitch. I'm not great with transposing in my head. But scores prior to the 20th Century are all transposing.
I was just reading Norman Del Mar's "Anatomy of the Orchestra" (a great book with more than you want to know about the orchestra) and he discusses concert pitch vs. transposing scores. He makes the point that in a concert pitch score, you probably want to still notate some instruments (like the double basses and piccolos) at an octave above or below their sounding pitch, and this introduces the problem that now you've got some kind of mix of transposing and non-transposing in the same score. Personally, I don't want to pick at those nits.

After reading Cameron Patrick's thesis on the film score, I am looking forward to seeing the score notations for the "battery of percussion": the tuned Marimba, Vibraphone, Xylophone, Glockenspiel, Chimes, Rub Rods, Cimbalom, and Song Bells; and the untuned or non-pitched Bass Drum, Field Drum, Tam-tams (large and small), Suspended Cymbals, Sizzle Cymbals, Slit Drums (large and medium), Tom-toms, Water Crotales, Waterphones (large and small), Angklungs (low and piccolo), Wind Chimes, Elephant Drums, Boobams, Mixing Bowls, Bull Roarer, Wind Machine, Rumble Board/Thunder Sheet, and Water Chimes.

And this is coming from a trumpet player!

Can't believe I was late on this...when I placed the order it seemed like it was in stock but my order summary at checkout says backorder frown

Praying for a speedy restock!
