Help - anyone?? A long shot maybe :roll:

PLEASE Can anyone suggest where I could buy a downloadable version of the sheet music and a backing track for the Prologue that the Narrator sings in Joseph. I can't find the sheet music anywhere and all the (3) versions of the backing track I can find are the wrong version - I'm looking for the version used in the current stage production - essentially this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2xPEkx4rZ4

Need it this w/e for dd to learn for an audition next week ](*,)

Thanks if you can help. Otherwise I think she will be learning it from the youtube link and singing unaccompagnied 8-[

Cant be a lot of help - but when my daughter was in a production last year we did a similar (unsuccessful) search.

Seems Lloyd Weber productions keep a tight rein on the score. The orchestra (they were kids) only got the score a month or two before (at extortionate cost) and then did a mammoth task learning it all in time! Think u-tube may have to be the way to go.

Thanks DanceDanceDance. Think we have given up and are going for another song she already knows as her singing teacher didn't want her doing it unaccompanied with such a short preparation time. Shame as it is the perfect length. I think it might be in a vocal score book that is about £25! But then no backing track, even once snail mail has delivered it! Maybe I will have to keep my eye out on e-bay for the vocal score for another time :roll:

Thanks again DanceDanceDance

I've got the vocal score the edition that was published in 1991. Don't know if it the right version.
