play quickly rising 8th notes to 16th notes in Bars 7-8 (harmony is G# minor 1stinversion or notes D#/G#/B) as the chase motif commences in Bar 9. Very rousingmusic, and too complicated and fast to analyze here in this ever-changing cue.[ADDED 2-14-10: However, to be completely specific of all the instruments inBars 1-2, violins I sound forte small octave B 8 th (followed by an 8 th rest) to B 8 th(crossbeam connected) to middle C 8 th (followed by an 8 th rest) to C 8 th (crossbeamconnected) crescendo hairpin to (Bar 2) D 8 th (followed by an 8 th rest) to D 8 th to C-C-C8ths decrescendo hairpin. Violas play this rest pattern on small octave F-F to G-G to(Bar 2) A-A to G-G-G 8ths. VC play it on small octave C-C to D-D to (Bar 2) E-E to D-D-D 8ths. CB play it on small octave F-F to G-G to (Bar 2) A-A to G-G-G 8ths.Clarinets I are col violins I, and clarinet II col violas. Fag I is col VC, and Fag II col CB(but in the Great octave register). Horns I-II play small octave F/B 8ths (followed by an8 th rest) to same F/B 8ths to G/middle C 8ths twice in that pattern to (Bar 2) A/D 8ths andback to G/C 8ths played 3X.]By Bar 131, Rune climbs up the cliff and sees Doc Frail. The music is "molto rit"in C meter. The piano and harp play whole note chord Eb minor (Eb/Gb/Bb), actualnotes Bb/Bb/Gb/Bb/Eb. Clarinets/bass clarinet/Fags play various whole notes. Theviolins and violas and celli play descending notes, winding down the once furious chasemusic. We find Bb quarter note down to descending 8th notes Ab-Gb, F-Eb-Db-Cb, thenthe same pattern an octave lower.During a music pause, Rune says "I don't suppose you'd help me?" The bassoonsand violas play mf espr the Doc Frail motif, Eb quarter note up to Ab half note to Gquarter note to (Bar 139) Eb half note dotted. Then Eb quarter note to (Bar 140) quarternotes F-Ab-Ab-G to (Bar 141) Eb half note dotted. Then the english horn finishes thetheme, Db quarter note up to F half note dotted, etc. The harmony is Ab major in Bar138 (Ab/C/Eb), etc. The cue ends on E major (E/G#/B) by the violas/VC/CB.[The Bullet] R2/2. Andante misterioso in C time, 16 bars, 4 pp. Scene: DocFrail shows Rune the bullet he pulled from his shoulder (put there by Frenchy). NowRune is in effect his bondservant as payment for saving his life either from loss of blood(if he wasn't treated) or by a hanging by the enraged miners.Steiner appears to employ suspended chords, starting with G# in Bars 1-2(G#/C#/D/A) and then B sus in Bars 3-4 (B/E/F/C). The english horn and harp sounds asyncopated and tenuto series of notes. So, after an 8th rest, you find three quarter notes inG# followed by one 8th note, repeated Bar 2. Then in Bar 3, after an 8th rest, threequarter notes and one 8th, etc. Then the hanging tree motif plays in Bars 6-8 performedby the english horn/clarinet/bassoons/horns.[ADDED 2-14-10: Specifically in Bar 1, after an 8 th rest, the english horn plays fsmall octave G# [written Line 1 D#] tenuto quarter note to G# tenuto quarter note to G#tenuto quarter note to G# tenuto 8 th (repeated next bar) to (Bar 3), after an 8 th rest, B-B-Btenuto quarter notes to B 8 th (repeated next bar).
