| Description: |
the opening title music is a somber minor-mode tango identified as "Morena" in the cue sheets (also referred to as "Tango no. 2", by Max Steiner); the ending of the cue overlaps with the tolling of Big Ben (shown on-screen); the first bell tolls on the downbeat of the final cadence of the theme (tolling a low C, which is the tonic of the tango as well); the second bell tolls on the downbeat of the following measure (as part of the dissonant coda of the opening title music); the third bell tolls four beats later - it is clear that Steiner has chosen the tempo of the opening title music to correspond with the timing of the bells tolling in the soundtrack |
