Does anyone by any chance have the complete score for The Tree of Life? Finally saw the film today and it’s one of the best I’ve ever had the privilege of seeing. Any help would be appreciated.

Hope that helps.

On another note, this is the second time in the last year I’ve noticed Mr. Desplat being upstaged from his original score by classical music in pivotal scenes, the other being The King’s Speech, where soundtrack to the climactic speech and the following d�nouement are given to Beethoven (a edited-down version of the second movement of his 7th symphony for the speech itself and the second movement of the 5th piano concerto for the ending). Of course, in The Tree of Life, he’s sidelined for almost the entire movie, which has got to be disappointing.
