Title: Main Title Movie: Aliens Composed by: James Horner and Aram Khachaturian Arranged and tabulated by: A. Zadorin 2019 This arrangement is based on the piano arrangement by Rhaeide, that can be heard in the following video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z4hRre9Tmmc&t=1m41s The flute fifths are replaced by fourths, their invertions. The result is much easier to play but is still recognizable. In Part I, the note durations must be played exactly as written for each of the voices. The lower voice is alwas lower on the fretboard than the upper voice. A lack of a fret indication against a note duration sign means a rest. Part II is written with the usual notational convention. ******************************************************************************************** [Part I] (This part includes a part of Khachaturian's Adagio from Gayane ballet suite) (This part is polyphonic with two independent voices) Adagio pp 4/4 E E E E E E Q H Q Q Q Q E E E E H E E E E (upper voice) e|-11-10-11--9-11--8-11-----|--------------7-----7-----|-7---7---7-6-7-4-|-7-------7-6-7---| B|----------------------12--|--L-------------11----10--|-L-9---8-------L-|-L-7-8-5-------8-| G|--------------------------|--------------------------|-----------------|---------8-------| D|--------------------------|--------------------------|-----------------|-----------------| A|--------------------------|--------------------------|-----------------|-----------------| E|--------------------------|--------------------------|-----------------|-----------------| H..
