Georgia calls for her father |
Description: |
In music that was cut from the film, the Wailing theme would have been combined with the Train Whistle Hallucination idea around 31:25; this cue was recorded and is preserved in the Max Steiner Collection at BYU |
Music annotations: |
[m. 43] pp / Murray: strgs might be enough for the whistle effect (but cue in what you can) / add this (this time perhaps?) / 1/2 tone higher; [m. 46] f; [m. 47] accelerando e cresc / as is / 1/2 tone up; [m. 48] out; [m. 51] out this time |
Film annotations: |
[m. 47] She runs |
Orchestration annotations: |
[m. 43] 2 oboes - solo violin / b'ss'n??; [m. 47] add gong |
Analysis: |
Rushing up-and-down chromatic flourishes under a dissonant polychord representing a train whistle (two diminished seventh chords a half-step apart); in this variant, the "snap rhythm" of the Wailing theme is included as another layer; the train whistle gesture accelerates as the cue progresses; the cue ends with parallel diminished triads |
