Hi everyone


I have a couple of questions regarding the Firefly soundtrack.

First
I noticed there are a couple of songs missing from the CD. For instance, Saffron's wedding song and a slow, guitar ballad version of The Hero of Canton that plays at the end of Jaynestown (and i guess the original Hero of Canton as well. Does anyone know where I can find these since they aren't on the original soundtrack?

Second
this is really just an observation, but did anyone else find the picture under the CD wierd. It appears to be from Objects in Space when Mal shoves Early into space, but neither of them are wearing helmets in the picture like they do in the scene.


Third
(This question is for anyone out there who is musically inclined and owns the firefly piano solo book.) I recently bought the firefly piano solo book and love it, but there seems to be one problem with the the Firefly theme song. In the third measure of the song, on the words "cannot stand" the e's are flat. When I played it, it sounded wrong to me. Did the arranger do that to make it sound more bluesy/country? I dunno, but i just seems like it should be e natural right there. Can anyone help me out?

There's no place I can be since I found Serenity.


The Firefly Soundtrack is "Music Composed by Greg Edmonson."

"The Hero of Canton" was written by Ben Edlund, so that might be why it is not included.

As for the second question, I'm sure that was just an on-set promotional photo, not taken from any of the filmed scenes.

Sorry, can't help with #3, I know next to nothing about music.

for #3, if you listen to the theme song, you'll notice that "cannot" is pretty low. I've always played it as an Eb. You can use your best judgment, though.
