This Friday is a momentous occasion for fans of Superman: after a decade on the air, the television drama Smallville - which focuses on a teenaged Clark Kent's transition into adulthood, bringing him closer to his destiny as the Man of Steel - will complete its run with an extended series finale that will likely finally see actor Tom Welling wearing the blue tights and red cape (even if for a brief moment).

Though some have certainly reacted with bemused shock that Smallville is still on the air (including this author), the Superman mythology is one of American pop culture's finest touchstones, and the series certainly had its interesting moments. The series, premiering barely a month after terrorist attacks on American soil, showed a different side of Superman: a young, vulnerable, humane Clark Kent who wasn't built self-assured, but would come to grips with his destiny as a protector of Earth. And what fan could forget one of the greatest on-screen moments in Superman history - the 2003 episode in which Clark learns more about his Kryptonian identity from a wise scientist played by the unforgettable Christopher Reeve?

Warner Bros. has tipped a hat to the musical legacy of Smallville by releasing the first-ever compilation of orchestral score material from the series through digital retailers this week. Featuring 28 tracks from all ten seasons composed by television legend Mark Snow (who's having a great week, between this and the X-Files box set) and Louis Febre (also known for his work on Desperate Housewives and almost-but-not-quite-Smallville-spinoff Birds of Prey, which focused on the life of a young vigilante who happened to be the daughter of Batman), the Smallville score set is available to purchase at iTunes and Amazon.

Look (up in the sky) at the track list after the jump.
