Jane Austen: The Music (Piano Sheet Music)

Last January, I started to learn how to play the piano. I still a beginner, but I'm on the lookout for new sheet music. Yesterday, this came in the mail...

Jane Austen: The Music! It features music from both Pride and Prejudice (1995) and Sense and Sensibility (1995).

I love how for Mr. Collins's theme, it says to play it "Pompously"! 

There were also pages talking about the plot of both Sense and Sensibility and Pride and Prejudice. It kind of irritated me, though, that they were calling Edward "Edward Ferrar". IT'S FERRARS!

But alas! There wasn't a picture for Pride and Prejudice!

The music is a bit advanced for me, so it will be a while before I can play anything (I can only play part of treble cleft for a lot of the songs). But anyone who loved the music in Sense and Sensibility and Pride and Prejudice and who can play the piano will really enjoy this book. Here are the songs in there (and a good list of songs it is!):

From Sense and Sensibility
Weep You No More, Sad Fountains
A Particular Sum
My Father's Favourite
Patience
All the Delights of the Season
Steam Engine
Willoughby
Excellent Notion
Combe Magna
There is Nothing Lost
The Dreame

and, from Pride and Prejudice
Pride and Prejudice (opening theme)
Elizabeth Observed
Canon Collins
The Gardiners
Rosings
Farewell to the Regiment
Pemberley
Thinking About Lizzy
Lydia's Wedding
Double Wedding

Music - Amazing Grace (Bagpipes) from Amazing Grace (2006)

This version of "Amazing Grace" was played at the end of the movie Amazing Grace. It's a very lovely song to hear and it was performed very well. I think this is my favorite rendition of "Amazing Grace" now! Have a listen! The ending is amazing!

If you're interested in watching Amazing Grace, make sure to read my review of it! (I raised the rating that I gave it from 4/5 to 4.5/5)

Favorite Period Drama Theme Songs

One of the things that I enjoy while I watch a period drama miniseries or movie is the music. The song that probably stays in your head the longest is the theme song. Since miniseries have more than one episode and the theme song is played at the beginning of each, it is probably the piece of music that we hear the most while watching a miniseries. Here are some of my favorite theme songs:

Pride and Prejudice (1995) Theme


I love this song! It's bouncy, yet smooth flowing. It definately captures the tone of Pride and Prejudice: how it's a light hearted story; there may be a few spots that are more serious, but it comes back to the light tone of the story.

Little Dorrit (2008) Theme



I'm currently taking a piano class, and I've been trying to learn this theme song on my own. It's a sad song, but it sweet at the same time, kind of like how Little Dorrit is: the story has a lot of sad parts to it, but at the same time, Amy is such a sweet character that once we get to the end (SPOILER) we're happy that everything turned out alright for her. (End of Spoiler)

Downton Abbey (2010) Theme



I just can't stop listening to this song! There's just something about it that makes you want to loop the song so it just plays over and over again! It's a very pretty song.


Emma (2009) Theme


This song always makes me feel happy! There's just such a light tone to it and a quick pace. I love it!
