BYU Music Department creates more digital accessibility to Max Steiner’s scores
Previously stored in the Special Collections of the Harold B. Lee Library, Max Steiner’s original, hand-written scores are finally opening to the public through an online database.
BYU music students, music catalog librarian Jeffrey W. Lyon and music theory professor Brent T. Yorgason have worked on transcribing Steiner’s scores since 2016, allowing public access via the internet.
Steiner composed over 300 film-scores, such as Casablanca, King Kong and The Informer — many of which are highly recognized. Not only have over 50 scores been transcribed already, but many students of Steiner’s music have interpreted them strictly by ear.
Steiner’s music database can be found and listened to here.
