| Description: |
Voronsky's theme is played again, but extended; the cue is called "The Telegraph" because two men pull down a telegraph pole here with their horses; this could also be divided into two cues, moving into "The Bandits" |
| Analysis: |
The tempo gradually shifts from a moderate 85 bpm to a galloping 155 bpm when "The Rider" returns for Dragon-23. The accentuation of the Voronsky motif (SOL-TE-DO) gives it a mixed feeling between beginning on a downbeat or starting on the anacrusis. In this cue, it is treated as beginning on the downbeat. The harmony is treated differently for this cue's variant of Voronsky's Theme; instead of the motif being (SOL-TE-DO), it is (DO-ME-FA)—remaining in the key of the first note. The falling of the telegraph pole is is imitated by the descending gesture with the four-note descending chromatic motif from Voronsky's theme (0:05:10). This could be considered mickey-mousing. |
