Bill Wrobel's DVD - Film Score Rundowns

The end of Reel 1, Selection # 5, is “Kaua I Ka Hua Hia I” (unknown composer)
played for one and a half minutes. There is a Reel 1/2 A-2/1 that is “out” (not used), 5
pages, 38 bars. The duration is 2:19. Key signature of three sharps in 4/4 time.
Reel 2/1. This cue of 57 may simply be part of the above cue not used. Key
signature of three sharps again but in 3/4 time. I believe it was meant for more of the
boarding passengers since Bar 26 refers to the “fisherman” and Bar 47 refers to “funny.”
The solo violin starts off pp on Line 2 C# up to F# 8ths (crossbeam connected) to E down
to Line 1 A 8ths to B up to Line 2 D 8ths, and so forth.
“Father and Son” Reel 2/part 2. 2 pages, 15 bars, 1:06 duration. Dvd location
00:14:47 (or chapter 4 at 00:22). Violins are both bowed trem and non-trem in Bar 1,
starting off on Line 1 B bowed trem half note tied to non-trem half note. Muted trumpets
(and bassoon) play sfz > pp Line 1 B half note (followed by a half rest). After a half rest,
violas and clarinets play I believe Line 1 F/A 8ths to E/G# 8ths tied to trem quarter notes
to (Bar 2) D/F# half notes, and so forth. The English horn in Bar 1 plays ppp Line 2 C 8 th
down to Line 1 A 8 th tied to dotted half note trem effect. The violins solo starts at about
00:15:10 I believe on Line 2 D 8 th to C 8 th tied to 8 th up to G 8 th to A dotted quarter note
to G-F 16ths (perhaps the violin plays an octave higher register).
“Aloha Oe” This background music was used at the end of Reel 2, composed by
Queen Liliuokalani, one minute duration.
[The Plane] Reel 3/1, cue # 36118. 36 bars, 5 pages, 1:40 duration. This is
another major theme in the score. Bars 1 thru 9 were not used in the movie. This was
supposed to be the “Take-Off” music. Dvd location 00:20:48 (or Chapter 4 at 6:22) for
the start of the “Plane” music once it was in the high skies. I reassembled the full score
from the Parts on Thursday, September 30, 2004 in the afternoon. There is the key
signature of four flats. It did not appear to be canceled with the start of the plane/sky
theme so I will assume we must flat all those notes (Bb-Eb-Ab-Db). I’ll check it out on
my Casio now…Yes, still Ab major key signature.
Ten violins I sound ff < in Cut time Line 2 Eb legato to F to Ab up to Line 3 C
