Firefly and Serenity Related Music, Etc.

  Firefly (Original Television Soundtrack). At long last, we finally get our show's soundtrack! Or at least, portions of it. The CD is missing one of the most popular pieces of music from the series, "The Hero of Canton" from the episode "Jaynestown." It is, however, available elsewhere on the internet.

From the DVDs, you can also see the extended gag reel at Whisper Graphics.  Click on "Firefly."

  Serenity (Movie Soundtrack).  This CD is... well, it's the soundtrack, which means it's full of music used to evoke feeling and environment within the movie.  It is, as I've seen it written, "audio wallpaper."  I own it and put it on for background music.  It's worth the purchase, in my opinion, if only to support Joss and crew.

  Sonny Rhodes' official website - vocalist who sang The Ballad of Firefly.

  Firefly sound clips - wav files that you can use as your system sounds.  From the pilot episode, Serenity.

  The Bedlam Bards are Browncoats!  Recorded in a studio that resembles the bridge of Serenity--right down to the plastic dinosaurs--the Bedlam Bards' third album, "On the Drift," is a musical expression of our enthusiastic support of the Browncoat revolution.

  Brian Burke has transcribed several Firefly-related songs

• theme song from FIREFLY

• theme song from FIREFLY (Violin)

• Jayne's song from FIREFLY

Music, based on Firefly/Serenity and either based on existent music with new lyrics (derivisions/parody/filk) or with original music and lyrics, has been around for a few years now.  There isn't much of it recorded, however - at least, not that I've been able to find.  Over on the Browncoat board a few of us began gathering together those we've discovered.  I'm happy to share them with you, here!  Most of these you can right-click on and do a "Save File As."
