quarter notes Ab also on those beats. After a quarter rest, the violins and violas play ahalf note to quarter note pattern in both bars, Bb major half note chord 1st inversion(notesD/F/Bb)to C major 1st inversion quarter note chord (E/G/C). In Bar 19, back to Bb major1st inversion to D major 1st inversion (F#/A/D) quarter note chord. The harp also playsthe same chords. Specifically, in Bar 18, Violins II play the lowest dyad notesBb/D to C/E quarter notes; violins I play the higher pitched notes F/Bb to G/C quarternotes. Violas play, also after a quarter rest, half note dyad notes D/F to E/G quarter notedyad. After a quarter rest, the harp plays notes D/F/Bb/D/F/Bb to E/G/C/E/G/C (standardtriad doubling). Etc.The cue ends tutti on unison note Bb rinforzando in bar 24 as Lew Wilkersoncomes out of the upstairs room with brother Cole. Bar 25 is deleted, which is a shamebecause the scene lacked dramatic emphasis without the additional music. the camerawas on Lew and Cole for several more seconds as Lew scowled at Parrish below. In bar25, the cue changes to 6/4 meter. Three tenuto quarter notes on Bb are played "accel" tohalf note dotted Bb, held fermata. Very dramatic. Much preferred, in my opinion, thanthe empty silence of that scene.Reel 3/C "No Bargain" Misterioso in C. 12 bars, :31. Scene: After trying toforce Parrish to sell his ranch dirt cheap, Cole says, "Think about it." TheMatlock(menace)Theme is played C min (C/Eb/G) quarter note tenuto, followed by an8th dotted rest, then a 16th note Bb major chord (Bb/D/F) to Ab major (Ab/C/Eb) 8thnote chord rinforzando, followed by an 8th rest, to "sfz" G major quarter note chord(G/B/D)held tenuto, etc. Then, starting in bar 5, the Parrish theme is played dramatically,highlighted by four horns playing "risoluto" A quarter note to descending triplet A-G-F,etc.Reel 4/A "Cole Courting" C meter "very intense." 23 pp., 94bars. Bars 20thru 65 deleted in final print. Scene: As Martha leaves Lew to take a nap downstairs, shegoes upstairs to a bedroom where Cole is waiting. Poor napping Lew doesn't realize thathis wife is fooling around with his own brother, Cole, under his own roof!Rather than call it the "Martha Theme," let's say the music introduces the Mrs.Wilkerson Theme or the Cheating Wife Theme! Violins and the English Horn play themelody line, with the harp/piano/altri strings lending harmonic support. I'll focus on theviolins. As an E 8th note in the grace bar starts to play the theme "rubato" and "veryintense," it rises to (Bar 1) F quarter-dot note (quarter note dotted), then D# 8th to Equarter dot note, followed by an E 8th to (Bar 2) F quarter dot note, then back to D# 8thto E, and E 8th to (Bar 3) Ab quarter dot note. Then G 8th to F#, etc. The harp and pianostrum wavy gliss quarter note chord G half diminished(minor7th flat 5th chord, or notesG/Bb/Db/F)on the 2nd beat. Then C major on the 4th beat. Violas/celli/bass are pizzicatoon those beats. So CB are pizz on note G on the 2nd beat, then on note C on the 4thbeat. VC (celli) are pizz dyad notes Db/F on the 2nd beat, then G/E on the 4th beat.Violas are pizz on dyad notes Bb/Db on the 2nd beat, etc.The music abruptly ends on Bar 18 in the scene when Martha questions Cole ifhe was at Elena's place all night. The whole rest of that scene in the bedroom is withoutmusic--although it WAS scored by Max, later deleted in the final print. I think in THIS94
