Sheet music now available... Not a lot of time lately, so just to put *something* up, here's a work in progress...

An arrangement for two pianos of "The Mad Man with a Box" - as composed by Murray Gold and orchestrated by Ben Foster. This is mainly based on the version played at the Proms 2010.

Starting out so beautifully simple that two pianos are almost too much, one of the pianists will wish he/she had 3 hands before the piece is over. That's part of what makes it "work in progress", along with a lack of balance between voices - the voice leading is already botched a bit, just to make it *playable* for two pianos.

The music 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:

I just discovered this channel, and I'm nearly in tears. It's a miracle that such people who use their incredible talent to show their love to Doctor Who, exist. I could only wish to play violin as well as you play piano.

I have a feeling this might play right as Matt is dying.Before he regenerates I have the feeling this will play, as he is taking one last moment to remember his companions and the girl who waited.That faithful girl who waited, she waited all her life for a madman.But he is just that, a madman with a box, and even though he is going to die.He shall come back. "One day, I shall come back, yes I shall come back.And until then there should be no regrets, no tears, no anxieties.Just go forward in all your beliefs, and prove to me that I am not mistaken in mind."-William Hartnell: The first Doctor.
