    Hey there,

    im trying to find some nice Filmscore Sheets, but I just find really expensive ones to buy and no free stuff.

    I know there is nearly no Sheets from the composer themselves because its mostly jus random queues they make, but there are plenty of sites which made their own Sheets of scores (like scores from John Williams, John Powell etc...)

    Do you know any site where I can find some free scores?

    THX :)

    Unfortunately Musescore mostly has just Piano Sheets. I mean sheets of the whole orchestra, where you see the sheets of every Instrument on one page (Partitur in German :P)

    I was a bit too fast sharing these links ..... you´re completely right there are very little filmscores and for most of the stuff you´ll end up paying, sorry.
    I have traveled the internet a bit more for the stuff you´re asking for but no luck so far.

    Here is another sheet site for classical music if you want: https://imslp.org/wiki/Category:Composers

    If you are looking for film music that has been composed recently, you probably only will be able to get your hands on a full score if you rent it from the publisher. In most countries, music only becomes public domain, i.e. freely available, 80 years after the owner of the rights (usually the composer) is dead. A different story is old music used in films - e.g. music by Mozart - which is easy to find online (imslp.org) as it is public domain.

    Do a search - Library Genesis 2m or libgen - some links should not be posted here, but they definitely link a wide variety of ALL types of literature in full. You may find one or more...

    A full score for a film in the real world should be rented or purchased. But that is not the real world these days. If anyone has written a full score, it can sometimes be half a year of work at the least, depending on the film/Director's requirements.
    Transcribing a score is always a good exercise. It costs the person nothing to do that.

    Most film music isn't public domain, just transcribe it yourself or pay someone to transcribe it, thats probably your best bet if google (or duckduckgo) isn't helping you

    For video games you can go to vgmusic.com, get the midi, open it with a notation software and pray that it doesnt look like shit

    If you find a good source for film score midis you could do the same

    Your intentions are really good. If I may make a suggestion? Always Personally message the person with email addresses and anything that is personal to you. Do not put them up publicly because while there are some good people on this forum, you never know who is lurking that may not have good intentions. :winker:
