October Sky (1999) // Main Theme - Piano Tutorial

A piano tutorial for the two main theme songs/music motifs in the score for the 1999 Movie “October Sky”, which is definitely a movie you should check out if you haven’t.

The original score was by the fantastic composer Mark Isham. Since the score is primarily for violin and an orchestra, I had to do a bit of re-composing and adapting in order to get the notes to work for piano (which sadly does not possess the characteristics of a bowed string instrument). Any mistakes I made in the animation or composition are entirely my own.

Also, given that it is the 68th anniversary of the launch of Sputnik, the first satellite, which also corresponds with the beginning of the movie, it seemed fitting to release this video today.

A link to the original score:    • October Sky - Theme Song [Mark Isham]  

Sheet music will be coming as soon as I can figure out how to compress it and put it somewhere actually accessible.
