Braveheart Soundtrack Music
Braveheart soundtrack music is among the most expressive & beautiful film music ever written. EVER. If you have watched and loved this masterpiece of a story, you are right here agreeing with me! Some film music never grows old.
This piano arrangement starts quietly, and builds to a crescendo, then fades away again.
A commenter to the collection of scenes & music in the video below said,
"Most beautiful film ever made in my eyes, the music, cinematography, costume design, script , actors is like no other. It’s a masterpiece of a film!"
I must agree.
The sheet music, key of Gb
The main theme of Braveheart begins with soft flute-like melody notes against a quiet background. A fragment of the Scottish tune "Black is the Color of My True Love's Hair" weaves its way into the bottom of page one, and then a deep chord at the top of page two gives a low and ominous premonition of battle.
The key of F is shown for page 2
You can see how much easier the key of F is -- hardly a black key in sight, until the bottom of the page, when a quick transition to the key of two flats is made.
Though still slow-paced, a bit more urgency is felt on this page.
Driving energy begins on page 3. Shown, the Gb version
Watch out for the C flats! In measure 52, line 3 above, the dissonance of the alto line against the ascending tenor notes (so to speak) are quite intentional. When the Gb minor chord arrives, B double flat is used. Good practice for your advancing students. Line 4, the first two measures use F flat!
Then at the key change (measure 58) it all resolves beautifully into a D chord, albeit with some clashing due to the G# in the melody.
Page 5, Gb version
The final two pages have lots of right hand octaves - plain octaves, not with thirds or fifths. Exciting octave practice for your student!
Dissonances & open chords impart a medieval, battlefield feeling
The flavor of Braveheart, the movie, is captured in this arrangement. Not too difficult, but with a few challenges, this is a satisfying piece to play over and over again, emotions soaring and always feeling like you are there with William Wallace in the fight for FREEDOM.
Though the key of F is easier, the key of Gb seems to have a special magic, as piano pieces utilizing the black keys frequently do! The piano recording heard in the video is performed in the key of Gb.

So I can't give it away free.
