No matter whether you liked the ME3 ending or not, I believe everyone can agree that the music of the last game was possibly even more epic than the soundtracks of ME and ME2 (assuming, of course, that such a thing is possible; the Mass Effect trilogy has some of the best videogame music of all time, fully comparable to what the best of Hollywood and modern composers can offer). As a proud owner of all available ME soundtracks, and fairly capable at the piano, I said to myself ‘why can’t I play some of this amazing music on an instrument I truly love?’ So, after some time spent at the piano and subsequent musical notation software, I have managed to produce an arrangement (sheet music) of one of my absolute favourites in the soundtrack: ‘I Was Lost Without You’.
 
I would also like to note that I am aware of Sebastian Wolff’s amazing arrangement of this song (link: http://sebastianwolf...st-without-you/), and I can strongly recommend it to anyone considering himself/herself quite good at the piano. I, however, felt that I would like a more ‘simple’ arrangement that (in my highly personal opinion) better resembles the original version. As a by-product of this, my arrangement is also much more accessible to anyone who isn’t a concert pianist or close to; you should be able to play it with at least some basic knowledge of a keyboard-based instrument.
Suffice to say, I would also strongly recommend the use of sustain pedal (or equivalent).

Also: while I make no guarantees that I should make sheet music arrangements for other pieces from the ME3 soundtrack, should I do so, I will upload it to this thread.

Excellent work. I haven't played my keyboard in ages I am afraid to admit but this might make me get back to it.

Thanks.
Still trying to upload readable versions of the sheet music...

Okay, I have given up trying to upload the .pdf and high-res .jpg directly unto this forum.
Instead, you can find the files here:

I’m back with more music! I’m sure many of you have already played through the amazing Citadel DLC, which made up a lot of lost ground amongst the fan-base after the ‘catalyst-incident’. Not only have BioWare and the composers managed to create a truly epic soundtrack, but they have also released it for free here on the BSN (kudos, BioWare).
Amongst all these amazing tracks, I simply found ‘Liara’s Theme’ incredibly beautiful; a wonderful keyboard-adaption of ‘Vigil’ from the original Mass Effect. Out I went on the internet, looking for sheet music for this wonderful piece, and finding nothing. So, I decided to take some time to write down an arrangement of my own, and thought I could share it here on the forum.
 


Again, I would strongly recommend the use of sustain pedal (or equivalent). Also note that there are two versions of this song; the one I have used here has a relatively powerful intro, while there is another version that that includes as a more ‘simplistic’ intro. Should I make an arrangement of the other version, then I’ll upload it here as well.

I’m back with even more music! This time it’s an epic arrangement of nothing less than the Suicide Mission suite from Mass Effect 2. It’s one of my absolute favourites, possibly the most amazing, and definitely the most epic piece of all the three games’ soundtracks. Over the last few months I have listen countless times to over an hour of different orchestral versions of the Suicide Mission suite, and managed, after some hard work, to compose a three and a half minute long piano arrangement, incorporating aspects from various parts of the entire suite.

Also, the notation software allowed me to create a computer-generated version of how it’s supposed to sound (or something in the vicinity) in .wave format, which you will find here: http://www.mediafire...p585p2yqwm3ymi2
 
Currently I’m also working on arrangements of the following pieces:
-          Main theme form ME1
-          The Virmire-suite
-          The suite from the Lair of the Shadow Broker
-          A new, better version of Liara’s Theme (since I have come to realise that the one I uploaded is really, really bad)
-          …and possibly a few additional variations of the Suicide Mission-theme
No ETA on any of these (since real life does take precedence – at least most of the time), but don’t be surprised if a few more pieces may appear over the course of this autumn.
 
And don’t be afraid to make a comment if you liked the arrangement, and/or have any ideas or suggestions .

Wow, how did I not see this before? This is brilliant. I am not much of a piano player but I'll have to break out my old keyboard and try these. Thanks!!!

EDIT: I'd love to see the ME1 theme as well.
