Description: |
Montage of headlines that begins with a dramatic fanfare (as we see the headline about Johnnie being the champ); the music turns dark when the headlines mention the murder and Johnnie's possible implication in the crime |
On-screen: |
A printing press |

Orchestration annotations: |
[m. 1] str / W.W. / 3 trpts / 3 trbs; [m. 2] horns / timp / T.C.; [m. 3] pianos (rather rhythmic) / harps, W.W., etc. / (brass morendo) / timp + tuba; [m. 4] horns and saxes; [m. 5] gong / timp + tuba; [m. 6] gong |
Analysis: |
This cue never really settles into a key, shifting from centers on G, Eb, and D, then moving to an oscillating machine-like pattern with the chords d minor, AbM7, and f#o7 over Ab; above the machine rhythms the strings play a legato descending line |
