I've been looking around the net myself for same with ut any luck..YET.

I am actually found a site (one of many) that will transcribe any music you want. Just send them a copy of the music/song on any format, including MP3 and they will transcribe it for you into any instrumentation (sp) you want. They even will do TAB. Thing is, minimum charge is $25 and the cost of transcribing a commercial is 70cents per measure. So, I am just hoping I can find it out there somewhere before I go shelling out 25 bucks if I dont have to. Although if this goes on much longer, I will at some point.

The site is, if anyone is interested:
http://www.musictranscription.net

Hope this helps, and if/when I ever do have it transcribed, I will put a post up around here.




I'll be in my bunk...

In the thread about the Firefly ring tone, someone made a midi of the theme. Contact them, cause midi is basically sheet music.

I borrowed the series from a friend of mine, and have been tinkering a bit ... I got some basic chords if you wanted to play along. I figured you'd want to have -something- to tinker with while I look at the rest of the song, so here's the stuff:

C
Take my love
Bb
Take my land
A C G
Take me where I cannot stand

Eb
I don't care
Bb
I'm still free
F C G
You can't take the sky from me

And so it goes on ...

The solo is: Eb Bb G
And is 2 bars of each (?)

A bit of improv goes a long way, so knock yourselves out!

(I should note that I worked this out on a guitar in Drop D, and that the page formatting means you can't see the C & G over "cannot stand" and "sky from me".)

- Austerity.

I was hoping to get the music for the melody and do a slightly Celtic violin version.

I'm not very good at playing by ear, but I could probably figure it out from my DVDs eventually. Although I'll try the midi file mentioned above first.

I did have a thought though - we could club together to pay the $25 to get the music transcribed. Any thoughts?

I'd gladly kick in some bucks to have a transcription of the fiddle and banjo fills. They're the only part I haven't nailed down yet.

If we get 1-2 more people, that would be pretty cheap.

Sadly, I live in the UK and don't have a credit card. But as an American ex-pat, I do have a US checking account and would gladly send a check off or would do PayPal.

So, any more takers?

I am very interested in having the Firefly theme for my cell phone. I saw an old thread cached on google that had midis of the theme hosted on a comcast webspace, but the links are no longer valid. If someone reading this has the midis that were available, please email them to me at nyphbl8d (at) gmail (dot) com. If/when I get them, I will host them on my site (which will have 100KB/s up as of Sept13). Otherwise, I may just send it to the site mentioned above and get it transcribed. Either way, I'll host the files.

Acutally, I was reading your transcription earlier today. :-)

The solo works as it is written for an instrument tuned down a step, but for playing it on an actual fiddle (in standard tuning), I had to transpose from your version.

Still, it's a big help. Thanks a bunch.
