Hans Zimmer

Oh, I think I know what you mean now.

"Score" is often used as another word for "soundtrack" particularly when a movie has two accompanying soundtracks.

A prime example (pun intended) is "Transformers"
-The "soundtrack" contain music by various artists (Linkin Park, that sort of thing) that was used in the movie
-The "score" is the version of the soundtrack where all the orchestral magic Jablonsky creates goes.

It's a way of avoiding confusion

The Lion King - The Complete Score is sort of an "unofficial" soundtrack, that contains a lot more of Hans Zimmer's magic than the "original soundtrack" provided.

I, in no way, possess or even understand any sort of musical notation...although I'd love to learn! Epic orchestra soundtracks...I just want to create one of my own!

Did that help?

Yeah, just can find a full (musical) score out there.

[AustralianChaos]

Yeah, one of the reasons I can't remember where I found the complete score was that it was a real pain to find, and my memory's an absolute shocker.

Start on YouTube for a taste
- All That the Light Touches (The start sounds exactly like the start of "This Land", but it changes a short ways in)
- Kings of the Past (Shouldn't take a genius to figure out where this music comes from)
- Run Away (Starts at the end of "...To Die For" but contains more)
- Returns/King of Pride Rock (Actually a 2-parter, since it's 12 minutes long or so...basically an extended version of "King of Pride Rock", with more awesome sections added in)

Links to the rest of the score can be found through the various related videos.

I'm using this particular collection of YouTube videos because it seems to be the best quality (The Complete Score has a nasty reputation of having astoundingly terrible quality)

Enjoy those, it might help you work through your search without going nuts at least.

Thanks, I'll take a look when I get on my comp

Hey AC thanks for the Runaway one! I was looking all over for the version without the beginning of 'To Die For'

One of the things I love so much about this film is the soundtrack. It's just EPIC. <3
