How to find the Songs in Movies

Michiel just posted asking for the title of a song from "40 Days and 40 Nights" but didn't leave me his email. The thing is I have no idea about the songs in movies - I don't have anything to do with the choices of songs. In order to find out what the song was I had to play the end titles on the DVD and there it is - 1st song listed is the one Michiel wants.

So Michiel if you email me your address I'll let you know what it is.

Meanwhile please save yourself all the searching and just look in the end credit roll for the songs - they are always listed.

Los Olivos

Thanks to those who have asked for sheet music for the Los Olivos cue - I am working on it. The Sideways Jazz band has it in their touring repertoire, so I shall endeavour to create a lead sheet from the live version.

Meanwhile I am going into week 3 on HEAVEN; it's taking a lot of focus to compose such detailed orchestral music, but I am enjoying the process. The schedule just got shorter, and I have nearly one hour of score to create, so I am feeling the pressure. But the film is really enjoyable to work on, and I can't wait to hear the live orchestra playing this score.
