14th March 2004Zulu Flim Theme Music
By Melvin Hunt
Does any one know where I can get hold of an accurate written musical arrangement of the main theme from Zulu? It has never appeared as published sheet music and I have never seen it in any "Best of Barry" compilation. Is there any "Muso" out there who can help?
Cheers
Mel

Yep! For Flim read Film. Add a new pair of reading glasses or bigger monitor to the above request.

Try to get a copy of "The John Bary Collection"
Reference ETDCD 011 E2CAT
It has the opening sequence of "Zulu " as its first track.
The C.D. cover gives an address of
The Kruger Organisation,
76, Dean st, London and a web site of www.vci.co.uk.
Hope this helps

Leslie,
It is indeed the sheet music I am after and thanks for your kind offer. Thanks also Graham and Clive for your replies. I have several recordings of the theme and having recently installed some digital recording software for my midi synth I am attempting a "home produced" version.
Scott,
I would very much like to see the arrangement your Brass Band uses.
Cheers
