Description
On-screen: Hazel screams
Description: Rushing, frantic string music over a dissonant brass drone, building to a dramatic climax as Hazel screams; this is followed by a stinger (with an exotic gong) as the camera zooms in on the Swami's forged name on the letter that predicted the murder
Analysis: Harmonized with unstable half-diminished sevenths and augmented sixths; ends with a descending chromatic scale
