Owen Pallet's Heartland: Orchestral Songbook

[omgmt]

hi hi

it turns out the books are super heavy + so we can't bring copies on tour for all of the shows (like the ones in Europe, USA, etc.)

but we've made it available directly from the band -- mailed from Canada! -- on our new online store (there is a link to it at owenpalletteternal.com)

shipping might be crazy depending on where you live but if you bundle stuff I think it makes it more worthwhile

note: the scorebooks are a special edition of 300

Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Crap. that would be like 60 bucks. I don't think I can get it! But I want it

Nice pretty new store..spends money like it grows on trees... whoops

Eek, I just ordered the score... crazy postage costs to UK, but I knew I'd just regret it if I didn't. Still, it ends up being comparable in cost to buying a full piano-conductor musical theatre score (well, cheaper than some), which I do indulge in occasionally, and I guess it's a similar kind of thing... and his gigs here are pretty cheap... [continues trying to justify to self spending that much on a score when he's s'posed to be saving]



;D ;D ;D

;D ;D ;D

what's a few squillion pounds compared to the joy of a songbook.. at least you'll be able to use yours. Mine will be a museum piece (not that I have a museum.. yet )

[joebonte]

*gulp* I don't think any price could have put me off ^_^ I'll just ignore the fact I'm a student and have better things to spend limited amounts of money on Postage to UK nearly made me cry :s

Oh well, I NEED IT! .........I don't strictly need food.

[heathenpoet]

All of us UKers should get together with our copies and put on a benefit concert performance of "Heartland" in order to raise back some of our postage funds... And don't worry Jules, you can sell tickets on the door if you don't play an instrument!

[joebonte]

I wonder if I can trick my University's orchestra into giving some a go ^_^
Does this mean there is a potential for Orchestral performances of the complete album? O.o
You have no idea how much I'd pay to go see that *hint OWEN HINT!*

Wow, I want it so badly, but nearly £55 is a lot. I know it's a heavy book, but the postage does seem a lot. I'll have to think about this and decide if I can really justify the cost. I'm sure I will use it but seeing it's a full orchestra score, I will probably play it less than if it had only a few instruments scored.

I'm both kicking myself for buying this and relived I've just stared giving weekly group lessons to give to two 'students'.

(also, everyone who cheered me on in the page before this one. thank you so much. I mean it. I'm trying. As many hours of practice a day. my body is week and frail. I am not meant for this..)

[Scarychips]

Arg. Can't I just buy it and come and get it myself, omgmt? I live not even 5 minutes from Montreal! And it would be be less costly. Please?

[jamesm]

Thank you!

Owen Pallett thanks you - your order is confirmed and has been received!

You're welcome. ;D

[Thomas]

OMG 85 dollars later. I am richer one songbook and purps shurts.

[Alyssa!]

IS omgmt in fact, Patrick? I've been wondering for ages about this.

[Dave]

I wish I had a cat, so I could get it to walk across the mouse and press the order button. Then, I could blame spending the money on a songbook on the cat.

Instead, I have to blame myself.
