The Flying Dutchman in Full Score

Summary: The Power of the Sea... On paper!
Review: From the very first D Major chord of the overture, to the final D of the third act, this score shows you excactly what happens!
The Horns' and Bassoons' "Dutchman" theme, sounding so wonderful, looks just as wonderful in this excellent score, with big type, and clear noteheads, easy to discern.

I especially love the clarity of the Introduction and Chorus, of the first and third acts. The low beginning notes of the Dutchman's Aria in act 1... E-sharp? Cool! Never expected to see that! Now, with the notes, being a bass-baritone, I can sing along with the entire Dutchman's part... (Not really well, being untrained, but... The passion is there...) "Wann alle todten aufersteh'n, dann werde ich in nichts vergeh'n..."

Ih'r welten, endet euren lauf! Ew'ge vernichtung, nimm mich auf!!!

Shivers down my spine, everytime I hear it!
