MINNEAPOLIS, MN, March 1, 2005 - MakeMusic!® Inc. (NASDAQ: MMUS) announced today that Finale, its popular music notation software, was used to create the sheet music for the recording sessions of Oscar-winning movies.
The award-winning movies that were recorded with Finale music scores included:
Other movies recorded with Finale music scores that were either nominated for or received Oscars include Spider-Man 2, Sideways, The Passion, Polar Express, Harry Potter 3 and The Village.
"Recording the music for movies is an extraordinarily difficult and expensive endeavor, often requiring eighty musicians, a dozen technicians and a staff of music notation experts working with Finale," stated MakeMusic President, John Paulson. "The composer and director often want changes made to the music during the session. That puts tremendous pressure on the music engravers to get those changes made quickly and reliably on their computers with Finale, printed out and distributed to the musicians for the next take. Delays cannot be tolerated because they cost too much. We are very proud that expert engraving houses like JoAnne Kane Music Service and Disney Music Library in Los Angeles and Dakota Music in London trust Finale in these challenging circumstances."
