END CREDITS from The Land Before Time - James Horner (Score & Parts) **DIGITAL DOWNLOAD**

Full Orchestra - Advanced - Digital Download

By James Horner. Score. 118 pages. Published by Chris Siddall Music Publishing.

In the decade before the renowned “Disney Renaissance”, Universal saw several noteworthy hits thanks to Steven Spielberg and Don Bluth that were so financially successful that most of them would spawn several sequels, both on the big screen and straight to video.  The Land Before Time would by itself inspire a franchise of no less than thirteen sequels aimed directly at the home video market, a television series, and more than a dozen video games.

Composer James Horner had been widely recognized for his score and song work for An American Tail and by 1988 had established himself as an Oscar contender of mainstream status.  That year in particular would prove to be among the best in the composer’s career, with The Land Before Time and Willow serving as sister scores sharing many of the characteristics that have garnered them similar acclaim throughout the years.  Horner’s score for The Land Before Time features extremely long cues that in many regards emulate the style of concert suites.  In a picture with a total run time of 69-minutes, the complete score recording and end credits song totals 74-minutes, meaning that with a handful of cuts to the score, the movie contains almost wall-to-wall music.

Created from the original manuscript, this release offers a rare opportunity to perform film music in its authentic, original orchestration and arrangement. An opportunity not to be missed!
