Is there sheet music (or a simple midi file) available for the theme music, as on http://librivox.org/wiki/moin.cgi/PromotionalMaterial ?

Code: Select all

Top part / Melody: D C G A B A B
Bottom Part      : G - C D - - -
So chords are pretty simple in the orchestra version:
G C D G (I IV V I)

The new guitar one I did is the same melody transposed up, but with a slightly more modern chord voicing:

Code: Select all

Melody: A G  D E   F# E    F#
Chords: D G5 Asus4 D  Dsus D
Here's a post from another thread explaining it. I believe this is the closest we have to sheet music. This thread.
