A *completely rewritten* arrangement for two pianos of the 11th Doctor's signature piece - based on the composition by Murray Gold as orchestrated by Ben Foster.

My original 2 piano arrangement of "I Am The Doctor" (including version 2) was a very early one. And I always (well, pretty much) hated it. It was dull, it was dead, it was unpianistic, in countless places it was downright wrong, it wasn't supposed to be viewed by 100,000 people (although, thanks for that :-) ) etc.

So, over the past years, I slowly revised it whenever I played it, but it never got to a point where I considered releasing a new version. Instead, I eventually started over, throwing out the first arrangement and writing an entirely new one from scratch. This is that new one. Seemed appropriate to finally finish it (as much as I ever finish any arrangement) in the Eleventh Doctor's last year.

Closer to the original orchestral version by miles (I think), and with a much better, and much more lively, recording. I decided to uphold the actual 7/8 time signature this time around.

Just as the original arrangement, this piece includes part of "The Sun's Gone Wibbly", as well as "Words Win Wars" (as it was heard at the 2010 Doctor Who Proms).

As always, the actual theme in its full orchestral glory, as performed by the BBC National Orchestra of Wales, is available on the Series 5 soundtrack, released by Silva Screen Records on CD and for digital download:

Would it be possible for you to provide this very same arrangement but with separate parts so that both players don't have to flip through 25 pages? If not, I can do it myself for personal entertainment purposes, but if you already have it saved as a file, it would be easier to separate.

This is truly amazing! I love it so much! Is there any chance that you'll make a version for one piano, because I haven't got anyone I could play this with...?

Thank you so much, this is a great arrangement, and I love that you make these freely available! As you say on your website, you do really try to do accurate representation of the real thing, instead of just melody and bass line.

+Jither (The Other Kaneda) I'm interested in learning this with a friend. However, being arranged for two pianos, it would be far more convenient to have two sets of music, one for the top part and another for the bottom. As well as being trickier to read when learning (due to having the other part there taking up space), it also results in twice as music printing being required. Do you have any plans to release this music with the parts separated?
