Bill Wrobel's DVD - Film Score Rundowns

In Bar 21 (dvd 00:01:09), the solo English horn plays mf < Line 1 F# [written
Line 2 C#] quarter note to D [written D] to A [written E] quarter notes legato to (Bar 22)
Bb [written Line 2 F] half note to Line 2 D quarter note to (Bar 23) C# dotted half note
tied to dotted half note next bar. The harp plays similar to before. After two quarter rests,
the piano plays Line 3 Eb 8 th to D 8 th tied to half note next bar to Eb 8 th , and so forth.
Violas play small octave Bb/Line 1 D/G dotted half notes tied to next bar to (Bar 23)
A/Line 1 C#/F# dotted half notes tied to dotted half notes next bar. In Bar 25 (dvd
00:01:18), the oboe and clarinet play the same phrase played earlier by the english horn.
This time they play it on Line 1 B to Line 2 C to D quarter notes to (Bar 26) Eb half note
to F quarter note to (Bar 27) F# dotted half note tied to next bar. In Bar 35 (dvd 00:01:42)
violins play pp < Line 3 Gb dotted half note tied to next bar to (Bar 37) G-F#-E legato
quarter notes down to (Bar 38) Line 2 B up to C# 8ths to D# half note tied to dotted
quarter note next bar to C#-D#-Line 2 B 8ths to (Bar 40) G-A-E quarter notes to (Bar 41
at 00:01:54) G dotted half note tied to next two bars, etc. Back in Bar 35 twelve violas
play Line 1 Eb/Bb dotted half notes tied to next bar, while celli play Great octave
Bb/small octave Gb tied notes, and CB on Eb tied notes. So we have the combined Eb
minor tonality (Eb/Gb/Bb). After two quarter rests, the clarinet plays middle Cb down to
Bb quarter notes (repeated next two bars).
“The Rat” [Reel �] This cue of 13 bars running 33 seconds seques from the
Main Title at about 00:02:43. Effective music for a disturbing opening scene that really
sets the tone for the rest of the movie. All violins play pp Line 3 G whole note tied to
whole notes thru Bar 5. Then they “play chromatics as rapidly as possible ad lib” cresc
poco a poco to end of cue. Twelve violas in Bar 1 are in harmonics (diamond-shaped
here) on Line 1 G whole note tied throughout. The timp is rolled mp on Great octave E
whole note in Bar 10 tied to next bar and tied to dotted quarter note in Bar 12 in 3/8 time
and to Bar 13. Ten VC and also the CB (and tuba) play the same Great octave E tied
notes. Etc.
“Lady in the Window” [Reel 1/3] 16 bars in 3/4 time, 33 seconds duration.
Dvd location 00:03:48. Sords violins play pp Line 1 E dotted half notes tied thru Bar 4 to
(Bar 5) Eb/Gb dotted half notes tied to next bar crescendo to (Bar 7) D/F dotted half
notes tied to next bar, and o forth. Violas show up in Bar 7 on small octave A dotted half
note tied to next bar. VC in Bar 1 are pizz on small octave E quarter note (followed by a
quarter rest) up to Line 1 C quarter note to (Bar 2) small octave B quarter note (followed
by two quarter rests), repeated next two bars. CB pluck small octave E quarter note
(followed by a quarter rest) up to B quarter note down to (Bar 2) E quarter note followed
by rests (repeat). Harp I plays p Great octave E up to small octave E down to Great
octave B quarter notes to (Bar 2) Great octave E dotted half note. After two quarter rests,
the top staff of the harp plays middle C quarter note to (Bar 2) small octave B dotted half
note. After two quarter rests, clarinet I plays mp > p Line 1 C to small octave B quarter
notes (repeated next three bars). I believe an electric piano starts to play in Bar 7 but it is
not indicated in the score I researched.
