Bill Wrobel's DVD - Film Score Rundowns

such figure to (Bar 14), after a quarter rest, another such three-note figure (followed by a
quarter rest) to D-G-Bb-Line 3 Db legato 32 nd notes to I believe the same Db 8 th
(staccato-marked). The oboe in Bar 13 plays mf Line 1 A staccato 8 th up to Line 2 D
staccato 8 th (followed by two quarter rests) to A up to D staccato 8ths (Bar 14 has the
oboe playing this pattern on the 2 nd and 4 th beats). After a quarter rest in Bar 13, clarinet I
plays what appears to be untransposed notes Line 1 D up to A staccato 16ths up to Line 2
Eb 8 th to another such figure (followed by a quarter rest), then on the 1 st and 3 rd beats next
bar. After a quarter rest, the bassoon plays as the oboe but an octave lower register, so
small octave A up to Line 1 D staccato 8ths to A-D 8ths again (followed by a quarter
rest) to (Bar 14) A-D 8ths (followed by a quarter rest) to A-D 8ths (followed by a quarter
rest).
The two harps seem to be sharing the same staff. Unusually so we have harp I
(marked “1.”) playing mf Line 1 A up to Line 2 D 16ths to Eb 8 th figure followed by “2.”
(harp II) playing that same figure, then back to harp I and then to harp II on the 4 th beat
(repeat next bar). I think it would’ve been better to simply assign a separate staff for each
harp. The Ocarinas in Bar 13 play Line 1 D/Line 2 Eb whole notes tied to next bar
decrescendo hairpin. The piano (top line) plays the three-note figures on each beat while
the bottom line plays the two-note figures. The 1 st violin plays forte Line 1 D up to A
16ths to Ab/Eb 8ths (repeated on the 3 rd beat) to (Bar 14) another such figure (followed
by a quarter rest) to Eb-Eb-Eb-Eb 16ths figure played twice and crescendo. After a
quarter rest in Bar 13, violin II plays the same three-note figure (and on the 4 th beat) to
(Bar 14), after a quarter rest, the same figure to Line 1 A-A-A-A to A-A-A-A 16ths.
After a quarter rest in Bar 13, it appears altri violins (I believe just two) pluck pizz and
forte Line 1 D quarter note (followed by a half rest) and repeated next bar.
There is a dynamic build of the orchestra in Bar 15. Bassoon I plays legato mp
small orchestra B-A#-B-A#16ths figure played 4X (repeated thru Bar 20). Bassoon II
plays this contrary motion of A#-B-A#-B 16 th note repeat figures. This is a very dissonant
m2 interval. Three horns with metal mutes play small octave A#/B/Line 1 D# (untransposed,
so a “C” concert score) 8ths (followed by two 8 th rests) to same A#/B/D# 8ths
(followed by an 8 th rest) to A#/B/D# 8ths (followed by an 8 th rest) to same A#/B/D# 8ths
to (Bar 16), after a quarter rest, same A#/B/D# 8ths (followed by an 8 th rest), and so forth.
Both harps now play the same three-note figures discussed earlier. Etc., etc.
Skipping to Bar 26 (dvd 00:01:26) when the Visual Effects Supervisors title card
snaps on, all six horns boldly and loudly sound (not sure from the score if the metal
mutes are taken off but it sounds so) Line 1 E-E-E-E 16ths (the first E 16 th is rinforzandomarked)
to E-E-E-E 16ths again crescendo hairpin to F rinforzando 16 th to Eb 16 th
(followed by an 8 th and quarter rest) and repeat next three bars. Violins also play this
general pattern but continued to end of each bar. So we find Line 1 E-E-E-E 16 th (the first
note is sforzando-marked) crescendo to E-E-E-E to F-D#-E-C 16ths to D-D#-E-G# 16ths
(repeat except for one note change at the end of Bar 29 to I believe Line 1 B 16 th ). After a
half and quarter rest in Bar 26, the harps are gliss from Line 1 E quarter note up to (Bar
27) Line 3 D 8 th (three more such glisses for succeeding bars). Here the piano plays Line
1 E-I believe A#-B-Line 2 E-F-G#-, etc (unclear) 32 nd notes to rinforzando 8ths next bar.
Etc. I don’t want to get too much into this, especially with hard-to-read material.
