Le Sacre du Sauvage - Sheet Music

Pages: 1 5 replies

BB

I am nothing if not a completionist. I've had several saved searches on FleaBay for several years now to alert me whenever a piece of Les/Leslie Baxter sheet music is put up for sale. With the exception of the odd Quiet Village here and there it has been nothing but a sea of The Poor People of Paris for almost two full years. I thought I had hit a dead end.

Well, after many shady transactions in the back rooms of the internet and dark pacts sealed, I have completed my collection (if partially in facsimile) of the entire published piano reductions of Le Sacre du Sauvage from c.1951. I promised myself once this was achieved, that I would share my bounty, so that others need not search and scrape the way I have had to!

So, here they are: DOWNLOAD from Mediafire

The Ritual 3

Also included, a bonus Hammond Organ transcription of Martin Denny's version of Quiet Village.

Quiet Village MD organ 1

I've got a few other exotic pieces of vintage sheet music as well. Stay tuned.

and thus Bam Bam was a benevolent tiki god

This is really cool, I’ve always wondered if such a thing existed, thank you for sharing!

Wonderful! Appreciate the diligence and hard work it took to complete this. Thanks for letting the rest of us in on it!

Created a profile here just to say thank you to Bam Bam! I had 3 of the piano arrangements already that I got online a few years ago… now I have scans of them all! Cheers, Bam Bam!

Hi, dP! He mea iki, that is exactly why I shared them. So glad to have you here, btw!

Thx again, Bam Bam! Funny, I also had some saved searches on ebay a few years ago but the rare times I turned up anything, prices were always unreasonable… but yeah, Poor People of Paris for dayyyyys lol maybe I should buy a copy of that one now that you’ve saved me years of searching and $$$ on the obscure “Ritual..” sheet musics I was missing! :)
