I very much doubt if I’ll everget to finish my research on this score, so here’s my partial rundown I wrote long ago. Imay have already put this up on the Rozsa forum but that’s ok!SAHARAI researched the full score and sketches of Rozsa’s Sahara (aka Somewhere inSahara) back in October 26, 2000 at Sony/Columbia Studios (actually, at that particularperiod, offsite near the studio). Unfortunately I did not have time to work on even half thecues, so I’ll never do a rundown per se on my site. So I’ll offer what I have here. Notethat the cue numbers are not necessarily aligned with the Reel/Letter numbers, suggestingperhaps that Rozsa later changed his mind and decided to write music at particular100
