Aphasia Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 I hope this topic fits in here. I am an avid hobby keyboardist, and I love the synth riffs like Crownless, She is My Sin, Come Cover Me etc. Are there any other official released Nightwish Sheet Music/Score Books who are still available for purchase? Or does anyone have the sheet music and would like to share copies with me? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fugazi Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Good question... I know of an official EFMB guitar tablature book, that may still be available but that won't help with keyboard parts. https://musiikkimuseofame.fi/en/product/nightwish-endless-forms-now-beautiful-guitar-tablature-song-book / There used to be an official Once Songbook that can still be found second hand with a little luck. https://www.ebay.com/itm/174804355415 Also there are tons of fan transcriptions out there but I'm not sure whether they're really accurate. https://musescore.com/sheetmusic/artists/nightwish Anyone else on this? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fugazi Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 Looking for something else I found this guy, Andrew Wrangell, who has an impressive collection of NW piano sheet music, maybe it can be of help. https://www.musicnotes.com/search/go?w=andrew wrangell nightwish&from=header https://composer1992.wordpress.com/sheet-music/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moondance Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 I wish the band could release music tablature books for the other albums. It'd be cool to see a transcription for "FantasMic!" and "Ocean Soul" as well as the ten minute epic "Ghost Love Score". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if it's the band or the label deciding whether to publish such material, but it's been totally random so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if it's the band or the label deciding whether to publish such material, but it's been totally random so far. I think there are two deciding factors to this. Not only does the sheet music need a publisher (not a music publisher, but a book publisher) but also someone who will transcribe the tabs. This far - with Nightwish Notevook (Once, that is), EFMB and H.:||:N. tab books that person has been Kasperi Heikkinen, the guitarist of Beast In Black. He's kinda busy on his own nowadays too, as Beast In Black has grown to the level where they do their own headline tours in Europe and the US. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fugazi Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 I guess there's limited demand for sheet music compared to other band merchandise so it might not be a top priority. I thought Nightwish had their own publishing venture though (Deggael) or is it just another publisher they work with on a regular basis?
