Description
Description: Ominous music plays over a montage of newspaper headlines; begins with dark brass fanfares, followed by a dramatic falling gesture and tragic brass harmonies; the headlines describe the murder scene; this music was borrowed from The Conquerors (1932)
On-screen: Newspaper headlines
Analysis: A chromatic rising sequence leads to a falling whole-tone gesture, then a dirge-like passage in b minor; it ends on an unstable whole-tone chord
