If there’s one thing I don’t like, it’s confusion and I find with a lot of Zimmer scores especially, there are so many "edits" and "versions" that it’s hard to keep up so for me, there’s only one thing to do and that’s to find the truth…the authentic truth of what Zimmer made and put it together. Keep it Simple.
Here is my edit for Prince of Egypt based on the sessions, the 5.1 audio channels, the bootleg, and the album (plus some extras from youtube videos).

NOTES:
Disc 1 Is the full score separated into each cue (thank you 5.1 DVD rip heh)
I noticed some minor changes in mixes on a few of the cues. Seti’s Reprimand for example in the film didn’t have a little drum part at 3:07 so I used the film version in disc 1.
I also noticed that the mix/take for Meeting Zephora in the film is different so I present that mix on disc 1 with the sessions mix on disc 2.
I fully isolated "All I Ever Wanted" and the Queen’s Reprise (minor ambient sound).
"Through Heavens Eyes" was highly cut down on the album so i rebuilt the full version with the 5.1. I also included the films mix of the back ground choir singing "lay-lay lay-lay lay, lay!" which was omitted on the album mix.
"The Plagues" has a little instrumental reprise in the film after the final vocal part but I put it on Disc 2 so the song can still be presented isolated (and I ran out of time available on disc 1 if anyone were to burn the disc).
"When You Believe" I was able to isolate using the center channel in the DVD rip.
"The Red Sea" was one of the most interesting cues! There is definitely some editing done in the film but also a different take edited into the film for when Moses is just about to part the sea and as he does it (you can hear the cut back in on the sessions around 2:29). I used the extra horns isolated in the rear channels to boost the horns for all the big fanfare moments and the times Zimmer uses his "God" motif (which sounds like the titular melody to "Unlimited" from another Stephen Shwartz musical "Wicked") and layered it over the rest of the orchestra.
"Epilogue" I have the film version which is "Rev3" but in the film there is no choir singing the final statement, but we do hear Ofra Haza singing so I present it as heard in the film. Disc 2 and 3 have the other versions.
Disc 2 are alternate mixes and instrumentals (again using some DVD rip for the music only tracks of songs)
Disc 3 are songs inspired by the film and some recordings I managed to track down of Ofra Haza singing "Deliver Us" which are amazing.

Question for you though, the archive for Disc 1 has an extra track called "The Plagues / Plagues (Reprise)." What is this? Is it worth keeping?
One of Zimmer’s last great score!

I forgot about that track in disc 1! It’s on disc 2 but I was toying with the idea of flipping it, putting the song with the reprise on disc 1, and the isolated song on disc 2…
You can delete it, the same track is available on disc 2
You have made me so happy! 😀
So, thanks. 🙂
P.S: The only thing missing is all the available languages for "Deliver Us".
Exactly, but i tried to get all the recordings i could find that i could confirm were her.
Glad you all could enjoy it 🙂
Disc 2 is mostly just instrumentals and alternates (most of which are album/sessions alternates) and three being extras so yea
I don’t get money for my edits and I SHARE them freely for others to learn about them and enjoy them. I don’t mind people sharing them, in fact, If I’m sharing, so can you! I think giving your friends these sets is an amazing way to spread knowledge and the love of film music and if an official printing comes along, it’ll make you want it all that more…
But when it comes to my attention that MY work that I put ALL The energy and effort into to make sure it was 100% right (more than you can say about MANY labels which actually make REAL products you can buy), my labor of love… and people are tricking people with them? Posting them on EBAY? Selling them?? OTHER people are making money on them???
Watch how quickly my edits STOP GETTING POSTED.
If I see it again, then I’m removing all links.

Agreed!
I would’ve been as frustrated as you if this happened to me.
Again, I have to say that your edit really is nicely done, and you’ve made me appreciate the score even more..
(By the way, I took a quick look on ebay, and other than a couple of items without the cover picture, I didn’t notice anything out of the ordinary..
You must’ve gotten the word out, it seems.)
