This is a project to transcribe Milton Babbitt's only film score, "Into the Good Ground" (1949).
The film can be viewed on YouTube
here
This is a work in progress, and I am hopeful that better ears than mine will contribute their transcription insights along the way.
Feel free to print out a score and
email me
your edits.
My goal here is not "what exactly did they play?"
but, based on the recording and musical sense:
"what did the score probably look like?"
I have divided the film score into 23 short parts.
Below are links to the audio files and the most current versions of transcription.
