That A-9 chord on measure 23 has always hit me just right. Takes me right back to being seven years old, jumping off the couch pretending to be Superman..

He will be looked back on like we look back on the greatest composers in history. He's a living legend.

I've always loved the chromatic chaos at the end! Great to see it finally written on a score. Thank yo for all the work on this.

Total, absolute genius!!!

This takes me right back to hearing the theme tune in full surround sound at my local Odeon cinema multiplex last April for the 45th anniversary. Absolutely epic!

I think that famous Am9 chord you have in bar 23 would be better described as a Fmaj7,11,b13. It's the tritone of the F and the B that give it the punch, I think, while the major 7 and 11 soften it.

Increíble

wow

I've never seen anything like this before, wow! Apparently a lot of room for interpretation, based on the comments.

based

Those modal scale are completely incorrect assuming the bass, there is no locrian or phygian effect but just going from a melodic degree of the tone from another

No mention of the polymeter that occurs from meas. 35 to 49?

It's nice to see a reduced score! But the 'analysis' of the chords is really lousy throughout. There's no contextual understanding of how the chords function, and in many cases, even the simplest chords are 'analyzed' completely incorrectly - a glaring example (one on many I could mention) is the striking chord on the downbeat of bar 23 (and again bar 24) - which is 'analyzed' as an a-9 (?!?) - as is if the clearly and crucial subdominant bass note (F) doesn't even exist. This chord is clearly a move to the subdominant (F major) in the key of C, and would be correctly identified as a F major 11, without a doubt...

Can I get a pdf of this?
