Crystallised Beauty Sheet Music

March 30, 2009

Crystallised Beauty Sheet Music – it’s here…cb2

After rather a lot of emails, I’ve finally got around to writing up the piano score of Crystallised Beauty. As everyone who’s asked for it seems very friendly and sociable, I decided to make it for two pianists…

You can still play it on your own if you prefer, but… to fit all the different parts in, four hands are better than two!

It’s free, but please don’t copy it anywhere else – if anyone wants a copy they can download it from here for nothing. If you want to give anything, a comment is always welcome!

Get the sheet music by clicking here!

listen to it here:

How to get the mp3…

If you’d like the mp3, it’s not commercially available yet – but – I can send it to you.

How?

Well, leave a comment below, mention the mp3 and (because I can then see your email details) I will forward you a link for the mp3 download. Easy!

    Thank you, thank you, thank you!

    (You know that I’m going to transpose the best bits for cello, and hand the remaining Piano 1 or 2 bit to a pianist friend…)

    Thank you so very much! I’m not terribly into the two players thing, but I’m sure I’ll enjoy it very much anyway.

    Again, thank you! I’ve wanted to play this piece from the moment I first heard it!

    Love your music! I stop by multiple times a week just to listen. At the moment I’m obsessed with The Diver in the Crypt. WOW! Wish they could be downloaded to my mp3 player. I’d pay good money to be able to listen to your music anywhere. Thanks for sharing your talent. 🙂

    Thanks for the sheet music! Can you send me the mp3 link, too?
    Listening to beautiful music like this is good inspiration for my own composing. It’s even better when I hear that a composer is “an imposter in the world of keyboard”, because I am too!
    (Btw, I love the extended pianotechniques!)

    I thank you dearly for sharing this beautiful piece of music. Every morning before anyone was awake, I would listen to it repeatly full blast, with headphones of course and dream it was me playing the piano. I have been inspired to take lessons and learn to play this song. Could you send me the MP3, it would be much appreciated.

    This piece of music is beautiful, I have been in love with it ever since I first heard it and am delighted that the sheet music is on your website (I tend to be picky over my music and have to love the piece before I devout myself to it). I would really appreciate it if you could send me the MP3? Thank you

    Thank you so much for giving out the score. I fell in love with this song since I hear it with Jane Austen!.

    Hm…it is just me or does the piano piece not match the music sheets, particularly in the middle when the pianos really get going? It seems like a section is missing…

    I just love this piece. Crystallised beauty is my new favourite music piece and I would love to get it as a mp3 so I can put it on my ipod and hear it every morning when I go to uni. It makes me smile, and what a better way to start the day:)
    So I would really appreciate it, if you could send me the link to the mp3.
    Thanks

    I just came back to listen to it, and find that you’re willing to share the MP3 by request! I would love a download of it for my own while we await the CD. You’re such a generous person.

    I just love Crystallised Beauty. I’m actually trying to play the score myself, although I know it will take me a while to get it just right.

    I too would love the mp3-music if that is possible; it helps me to memorize the notes and the overall melody.

    To conclude, I absolutely would buy a CD of your piano scores and I think a lot of other people will do the same.

    Best of luck!

    Just beautiful, a big thank you for sharing your talent. I really would like to have the mp3, if still possible.
    Also, I would like to know which is the name of the music used in this amazing video. I just discovered you through the credits, but I don’t know the name of the beautiful composition:

    Thanks again!

      Many thanks! It’s a track I wrote called ‘Breath’ which is presently on a production music album, but which I will probably release on a compilation soon.

    I believe I left a comment somewhere but I wasn’t sure if it went through. Both me and my sister fell in love with Crystallised Beauty and was wondering if you can send me the download by chance? I’ve looked for it practically everywhere, also how come it isn’t on itunes? My email is janinetondu@gmail.com

    There is an honesty behind a glance, a meaning behind a touch, and faith cried with a tear. There are liies behind a price, importance in a whim, and deceit sealed with a kiss. There is hope behind a gesture, value in a token. An unspoken love delivered with a smile.”
