This is the soundtrack of The Fearless Vampire Killers, composed by Krzysztof Komeda, who had a rather short career before dying in a car accident.
The main theme is of course the piece heard in the opening credits (an ingenious sequence of small drops of blood that trickles through the credits), and is a jazzier grotesque waltz counterpointed by a small ensemble of choir, which you can watch and heard it here (http://www.watchthetitles.com/articles/00205).
The soundtrack is, as far as i remember, nowhere near to be complete. But unless a future expanded edition is released, this will be for now the best representation of the music score on album.

Hope you like it ^,..,^

Thanks for sharing with us. I really enjoyed this soundtrack.

Thanks! Great music indeed

FYI: this score has been released by different labels (or as part of various compilations) yet all feature the same tracklist and come from the same source material.
Another annoying thing all these editions have in common: their track listing is completely wrong (and has typos…). Any fan of the movie will easily notice the huge mistake.

Correct track titles (without typos):
01. Main Title
02. Snowman
03. Sarah in Bath
04. Vampire Comes
05. Koukol Laughs / Alfred Behind Sledge
06. Krolock On Sleigh
07. Sarah Asks For A Bath
08. Vampire To Crypt
09. Sarah’s Song
10. To The Cellar
11. Shagal Leaving
12. Portraits
13. Skiing
14. Alfred Hears Singing
15. Both Over Rooftops
16. Alfred Over Rooftops
17. Alfred In The Crypt
18. Herbert’s Song
19. Main Title – Extended

The score itself is roughly in chronological order.

Yes I have this as well, it was released by a Polish record company paired with another Roman Polanski film Rosemary’s Baby.

@Shoshot…Track #16 has a TYPO….Roftops..lol

Same release that I have, and still they screwed things up with the titles/typos… although in a different way 😀

If in doubt, here is a link (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KHSwVLGVBLc) to chronological excerpts from the movie that feature the corresponding music…

WildWoodPark> Fixed! My bad, thanks for noticing 😉

Quick work Shoshot!!

I need to re-visit this film I have it in my collection.

It’s a shame how in all the editions released for this score, no one cared to put one with the correct titles, in this case the edition from Harkit.
Somehow i suspected that some of the titles were misplaced (no way track 6 was the love theme), but i leave the upload with the titles as i’ve seen written in the back cover.

Shoshot many thanks for the correct track titles list 🙂

Any chance for a reup? Thanks for your consideration!

I downloaded it ages ago… really bad sound. Dumped it.

I spoke with Komeda’s estate executors a while ago about this soundtrack. All released versions are incomplete and low sound quality. Apparently they are working on putting out his original scores on a major label in Poland.

The download links are not working can they be updated? I really want this soundtrack. 🙂

here is my lossless copy – scans included -> download (https://mega.co.nz/#!ugZ20ASa!SgE3DxgEf4haNhgFBHNZdWw3qVVRqrlIJZTwoDq g_c4) – 224MB – grab it while it’s hot

please not that the extended main title was not included on this album. if anyone has it in lossless, please share it.
track 5 – Koukol Laughs / Alfred Behind Sledge as shown in the original post, is spliced here into two separate tracks.
i’ve included a playlist file with the chronological order, as mentioned by shoshot.

Thank you so much, ostgemes and Sanico!

Thank you both!
