It is quite easy to work out, I think if you give him the CD he'll be able to play it quickly. I'd suggest the Trilogy version.
ReplyDeletei didn't realize it was out of print, but in 1991 the tablature book for disintegration was released.
ReplyDeleteyou can find it on amazon from various vendors starting at $40...

oh, thanks exit---i was looking for that! i remembered they used to print those out for each album. was going to post for her:
ReplyDeleteMaking it clicky.
Yes, V, I'm showing off.
this 15th of August is our 5th wedding anniversary - have a magic day
ReplyDeletea friends Irish band did a Celtic version of Friday I'm In Love at ours (it was a Friday)
Wouldn't Funeral Party be more appropriate?
ReplyDeleteKIDDING! Congrats Shannon - whoever you are. :-)

ReplyDeletesorry, that sounds shite doesn't it? - a Celtic version of Friday - wasn't though - my friend Big Jim's band the Weedkillers are v.much like the Pogues - I believe the phrase used round these parts is 'it owned'
ReplyDeleteJim overcame his deep loathing of the Cure to bellow it out too - a top pal
I'm so proud of you, MonkeyButt! :')
ReplyDeleteI had the Disintegration sheet music book at one point, but I don't know exactly where it is now. :( If I can find it, I'd be happy to pass it along to Shannon, though I don't know if I'll find it in time for her wedding!
Clockwise: When I was in 8th/9th grade, I decided that I wanted "Funeral Party" to be my wedding march! Hahaha! ;) It seemed like such a good idea at the time...
ReplyDeleteIs it possibly on the old Cure site archive? I know there was sheet music listed on there but I don't remember if Plainsong was one of the songs.
ReplyDeleteBTW - Aug 16th is a great day! It's my b-day.
looks like they only got tabs up for WMS & BF on the old site.
ReplyDeleteYeah, you're right MB. Just saw that.
ReplyDeleteI got the partition book for the guitar, can't remember if there is also parts for piano... I'll have to check at home.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful intro piece for a wedding day, why didnt i think of that? I had Northern Sky by Nick Drake.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a wonderful day, I love the bit in Marie Antoinette in the coronation when they play Plainsong....ahhhhhh
wow shannon that is going to be beautiful!
ReplyDeletewhat a wonderful idea!
hopefully if you cant find the sheet music, maybe your organist will be able to listen to it and play by ear???
congratulations!
Thanks everyone. I purchased the book, I hope it comes soon. I cant wait to walk down the aisle to Plainsong!
ReplyDeleteshannon - are you choosing a cure song for you first dance? and with dad too? if so which ones?
ReplyDeletejust curious!
:D
yay shannon!!!
ReplyDeleteThat's great Shannon, glad we could all help out. Congratulations and have a beautiful wedding!
ReplyDelete16 august its my birthday
ReplyDeletegreat day
Yes I've heard on a number of occasions of Cure fans using Plainsong for walking down the aisle at weddings. Another favourite is the rather upbeat FIIL b-side "Halo" when the newly married couple are leaving the church. The lyrics and mood fit perfectly.
ReplyDeleteFor my wedding we played Hell's Bells.
ReplyDeleteIf it does not come soon here is the music sheet for plainsong that I scanned: http://www.sendspace.com/file/roafhz
ReplyDeleteCan't help you with sheet music, but my friend made a loop of the opening for my wedding a few years ago. I could burn you a copy of that. We walked in to Plainsong instrumental loop and walked out to Halo.
ReplyDeleteI noticed that you already bought the sheet music, but I'll say anyway that I have the tablature book for the Disintegration album.
ReplyDeleteHi...
ReplyDeleteI would strongly suggest contacting Roger via his Myspace. He is a very nice guy and would probably help you out with the tabs as well as the sounds used... especially since one of his favourite things to do is talk about how easy the cure synth parts were!
Also, since you ordered the tab book, I would also give the organist the song on CD to listen to as well, just as the others suggested; remember, tab books are not written by the band so they are off, very off, sometimes and don't give the feel of the songs.
I used it for my wedding/walk down the aisle. My DJ had it looped...(I walked so fast it ended up useless to loop, but, was grand)!
ReplyDeletejeez - and here i am all boring with my canon and ode to joy.
ReplyDeletesheesh. what kind of cure fan am i?
*hangs head in shame...and weeps quietly...alone...in the rain*
cat - LOL!!!
ReplyDeleteChristina - I walked in to Cannon as well, have no idea what I walked out to.
ReplyDeleteBut seriously, if anyone should be hanging their head in shame, it is ME!!! My bridal waltz was to Groovy Kind of Love - BLAH!!! Granted this was over 16 years ago, but it is still embarrassing.
For my wedding waltz we played Heroin Face.
ReplyDeleteCat - if I had my time again, I'd probably go with Meathook :)
ReplyDeletethere are software programs that will take a midi file and score sheet music for you...
ReplyDeletequickie from google:

you can grab the midi from here:

this would be better than the sheet music... a competent piano player may be able to play a bass/melody part simultaneously and give it a bit fuller sound.
We had a trio (piano, sax, upright bass) for our wedding ceremony. We gave them the sheet music and two recordings of Just Like Heaven: the album version and the strings version from the Whisper CD.
ReplyDeleteThey created a custom arrangement for my aisle walk. It was absolutely beautiful.
elise, that IS embarassing :P :P..lol
ReplyDeleteI have the tab book from disintegration. I can mail it to you as long as you mail it back!
