One of the most notable features of Powell’s score, is how it blends musical styles and instrumentation. John Powell was inspired by the “Scandinavian Scotland” from Cressida Cowell’s books. Based upon his own Scottish heritage, he used instruments such as bagpipes, dulcimers, and whistles, to portray Viking protagonists. Additionally, the score features as many as ten themes, and endless orchestral imagination. Be the first to own of of the finest scores Powell has ever produced.

    Extremely high quality and faithful presentation of the full score along with excellent cue-by-cue analyses of a seminal and widely-popular orchestral film score. If you’ve ever wanted to explore the secrets of Powell’s writing and orchestration in a way that you can’t really do with your ear alone, this is the book for you. I’ve been waiting for something like this!

    Omni hit it out of the park again with this score! This is a beautiful presentation of Powell’s fantastic score, especially considering the massive number of instruments that have to make it onto the page. It’s a dream come true to have such a brilliant and recent score available, and the accompanying CD makes the deal even better. I highly recommend picking up a copy!

    Fantastic Edition of a Fantastic score. John Powell has become the BIG composer for fantasy action-adventure. This score is a textbook study on how big these films can sounds. Worthy of constant study, there is so much to be gleaned from these pages, and due to the fine quality of this edition, you will be able to.

    The Current GO-TOO fantasy animation composer did a fantastic Job with his Dragon Series . This being the first, and full of great Themes and Gaelic flavours. Beautifully made in a solid thick binding you can follow along to the Kill ring in all it’s Octatonic glory ! A compendium of orchestral tricks and flourishes this is an essential purchase for anyone studying Film Music.

    Incredible edition. Very well written score and perfectly orchestrated. It is worth the price. It is very rare to find this kind of film scores.

  8. Andy Allen (verified owner)

    An iconic score, beautifully presented. This book is clearly a labor of love, and a work of art.

  9. Dave Gottlieb (verified owner)

    Powell’s score is beautiful, and this printed edition is fantastic! I wish every printed score was this clear. Everything (even the transposing instruments!) are in concert pitch, and the instrument names are on every page. So nice! The paper quality and binding are excellent. All the formatting is clear and readable, and I love it. Thanks for publishing this–worth every penny!

  10. Quinten Schlücker (verified owner)

    High quality book with a great analysis of the music. The great music of John Powell is made even more impressive by the vivid sheet music. I was very happy about such a good edition.

  11. Emily (verified owner)

    I have been looking everywhere to get my hands and analyze John Powell’s amazing work with this score. I highly recommend; this is an incredibly accurate [edition] and well worth the money.

    I’ve wanted to study this score ever since I was 15, when I heard it for the first time alongside the film. Being able to finally take it apart and study it note for note is a dream come true.

  14. Jonathan Crocker (verified owner)

    I have been a fan of John Powell’s for years!! Now to see this score I am continually amazed at his genius, knowledge of the orchestra, and his ability to pair groupings of instruments that you’d think wouldn’t pair well but in fact not only compliment but enhance each other!! I hope that this is the beginning of long relationship between OMNI and John Powell!
