Famous music extracts score book


It would nice to have a book:


Containing famous riffs, extracts etc of beautiful pop music.
Eg end of Clocks - Coldplay.


With nice colored written score. For example different color for notes, for lines, for music staffs etc.


Which would guide progressively to more difficult examples leading to  independence of hands, rhythm etc.


Which would start with simple and beautiful sounding examples with only one note played by the left hand (bass) and only only note by the right hand (melody) at the same time.
For example beginning extract of Air - Bach played with 2 voices only.


Which would lead to more involved examples in 4 part harmony.
Eg introduction of Old and Wise - Alan Parsons Project


Which would show that great pop or classical music is not much more that great bass with the right numbers above it to create harmony and melody [Bach, Niedt].


Which would therefore teach how music is made, how it works, not just how it is played.


Which would contain great examples such as:
Face to Face - The Twins
Viva la Vida - Coldplay
With or Without You - U2
Instabile (intro) - Nec
Never let me down again (outdo) - Depeche mode


(Inspired while trying to assist Vicky repeating some played examples on keyboard).
