I hope this is not too off-topic, but I recently watched _Hibike! Euphonium_ (
_Sound! Euphonium_ ), and I was wondering if anybody knows where I can find
sheet music for the piece that they play in the competition. Specifically, I'm
looking for _Crescent Moon Dance_ by _Namie Horikawa_ (I don't know if this is
an alias or not). I play the trumpet, and I really wanted to try out Kousaka's
solo. If anybody could help me out, that would be appreciated!

question
music hibike-euphonium
Where can I get the sheet music for the song Crescent Moon Dance?


According to the [official website](http://anime-
eupho.com/product/bddvd/oritoku/), the official sheet music for Crescent Moon
Dance 「三日月の舞」 was given as extra on purchase of the Volume 1 of BD/DVD at
certain stores in Japan1. Unfortunately, Volume 1 already went on sale on Jun
17, 2015.

Likewise, the sheet music for the opening 「DREAM SOLISTER」 and the ending
「Tutti」 will be given as extra on purchase of BD/DVD Volume 2 and 3
respectively.

1 The stores as listed on official website:
玉光堂、バンダレコード・ライオン堂、ＪＥＵＧＩＡ、十字屋CROSS、新星堂、山野楽器、ヤマハミュージックリテイリング

The advertisement, as [posted by one of the stores on
Twitter](https://twitter.com/VandaHirosaki/status/599149966670438401/photo/1),
inviting people to reserve a copy of the BD/DVD for the sheet music:

According to the [Hibike Euphonium wiki](http://hibike-
euphonium.wikia.com/wiki/Crescent_Moon_Dance):

> As of 2016, the sheet music has been released for purchase by Japanese wind
> ensembles, and is gaining recognition as a legitimate piece of wind
> repertoire in the country.

So, if you have contacts in the Japanese orchestral/wind band scores world,
you should be able to purchase a copy.

I know I'm super duper late to this thread and you probably have found this
info already, but since this thread is one of the top google results for
"crescent moon dance" I thought I would reply here.

The sheet music is available for purchase at [Print Gakufu](https://www.print-
gakufu.com/score/detail/136344/). Use Chrome to translate the page (it is all
in Japanese). They block any non-Japanese credit cards through their
integrated credit card payment service, however the payment service Rakuten is
accepted. Rakuten will allow you to use any credit card to make the payment.

IF YOU ARE OUTSIDE OF JAPAN YOU MUST USE RAKUTEN TO PAY FOR SHEET MUSIC FROM
PRINT GAKUFU!!!
