I just watched this movie for the first time about a week or two ago and boy does the music make it break your heart. Seeing this here is so cool seeing that this is the stuff of the movie that makes it incredible.

[@BoosterDawg]

I'm such a sucker for stuff like this. Would love to see more from Interstellar, thanks a ton for this

[@MartaMarquesPereiraSeabr-ic5dn]

Did you transcribe the music yourself? I'm doing a paper on this score, and I'd like to find sheet music that didn't cost me 20 bucks, but also wasn't just an easy version for piano beginners.

[@benoahstudios6355]

great video, David! Would you please do something from Pirates of the Caribbean?

[@vinniedixiemusic]

good job mate! aways love this minimalistic zimmer feel with huge orchestrations.

[@nickavenoso7851]

I love composers like John Williams, James Horner, Howard Shore and so many others, but what I love about Zimmer is his simplicity. The way he arranges his pieces show that you can emotion out of a piece even if it’s not incredibly musically complex. He knows how to write for the film rather than overwhelm the audience with crazy, complex passages.

[@TheRockinBK]

Spot on! And people who assume simple = easy obviously have never tried their hand at composition. It is extremely difficult to write something simple yet meaningful & with emotional resonance. To produce something like Interstellar takes immense intellectual prowess & is nothing short of genius.

[@nickavenoso7851]

@@TheRockinBK Exactly. And sometimes more complex doesn’t equal better. Zimmer has an ability to write simple, but profound motifs and melodies that stick with you. And too, while the theory part of it might be simpler, the sounds, sound design, production, etc are not.

[@oscarmike1131]

Thank you David. Do you have the sheet for “I’m going home” or “Dust”? The two have the same motif that Zimmer used to represent the things we feel but can’t see. Always wanted to study that one. Extraordinary pieces of music

[@Avstinato]

Nice profile picture

[@petterrong1590]

From bar 38 to 49, is there another organ or maybe a synth part? At first I thought your transcription was wrong, but after listening more closely, I can hear the organ part that is transcribed. But there's a much more noticable part being played over it, that joins together with the transcribed one at bar 44. Any one else that can confirm that I'm not just hearing things? 😅 Brilliant score reduction BTW. One of my favourite scores ever!, and you served it well!

[@opalessense]

I almost cried when I saw this, I’ve always wanted to know why this song is so mysterious.

[@trevorjensen2706]

I thank you for this. Well done!

[@wilckaudio3280]

Really great stuff - thanks for your work. Where do you get the scores? Or do you transcribe them yourself?

[@josephfremedcomposer]

AMAZING work!!! You are truly brilliant to put this together. Do you have a pdf that you could post of the entire score?

[@AndewMole]

there's no way that's legal lmao

[@jbreezy6784]

@David McCaulley thank you for this. If you can, could post the score for the science fiction horror movie "LIFE?"

[@celloguysps6780]

Just a little queation, How did you get the original score from Interstellar?

[@TheyBenefit]

It's literally the first text box lol

[@msholmes]

What a way to start my day. Thank you!

[@thiagohenriqueoliveira8180]

Mr

[@radioauderman4676]

I heard this track with the landing scene from "Sully" and i think that was way better than original

[@shanemakanda1015]

Hello. Did you make this score yourself?

[@RyanStellaYT]

Its a hot day and that's totally why my eyes are sweating...

[@Leomerya12]

I freaking love you, David. Thank you!

[@thpthp]

Excellent. Thanks so much.

[@jonathanparham]

I really enjoyed this score . Thanks

[@matthewegeler]

Love the text you added this time. Great stuff.

[@RicardoFelixStudio]

Great job! Thank you!

[@leonli7394]

DAMN GREAT!!!!!!

[@DieSchmierlaus]

Amazing!

[@macprofire]

And there still are people who consider Zimmer an undeserving arriviste…

[@gabzz72]

I think a lot of his stuff became ubiquitous, ie pirates of the caribbean, other action flicks, but he can still spit out an amazing score

[@macprofire]

@@gabzz72 Maybe. But I‘d say the Pirates scores (up to part three) fit the films perfectly. Bold music for bold movies. His style has since been copied a lot and often badly, but isn‘t this after all the old question whether something popular can still be good and something intelligent doesn‘t need to be niche?

[@noahking5531]

This is the greatest movie and soundtrack in history and nobody could ever change my mind.

[@ДмитрийШубинский-в7ч]

Very beautiful! Is this music from a movie or is it already written by you on a computer?

[@АлексейКарпенко-г9м]

Of course it's from a movie :)

[@nickavenoso7851]

It’s from a film. Interstellar. It’s a Christopher Nolan film with music by Hans Zimmer.
