Description
Description: Water Dripping idea combined with a foxtrot; this comes from part of a scene in solitary that was cut from the film (perhaps Marie was hallucinating or remembering something); this cue was recorded and is preserved in the Max Steiner Collection at BYU
Music annotations: [m. 39] expr / legato / Murray! a very soft dance band imitation - sustained harmony (2 saxes - piano, vibra) maybe use only a few violins - (call me!!) / mp / p; [m. 45] enharmonic; [m. 49] a12 divisi / morendo; [m. 50] and out
Film annotations: [m. 39] Dissolve; [m. 45] Out of the light
Orchestration annotations: [m. 39] cel / piano / harp (no marimba) / saxes?; [m. 45] harp; [m. 48] 2 horns + celli; [m. 49] and vibra / saxes / b'ssn
Analysis: The dripping effect continues over the F-major foxtrot, which resolves deceptively to bvi9
