Bill Wrobel's DVD - Film Score Rundowns

Reel 12 material starts with “Semper Paratus” by Francis Saltus Van Boskerck.
This is the Coast Guard song. The production company paid a $1,000 fee for six
background uses. This first one is 22 seconds duration. Then we have the “Toby” theme,
then the High & the Mighty music, then the “Plane” theme, then “Happy” (Reel 12/2),
then Semper Paratus again, Plane, and then T.H.A.T.M.
Reel 12/1, 5 pages, 46 bars, 2:31 duration, key signature of four flats.
Appassionato in Bar 21 (1:12). Bar 34 (1:58) = “Prays.”
Reel 12/2 starts with “Happy.” Grandioso in Bar 19 (“Plane” theme). 36 bars
total. In the grace bar the basses play Contra-octave and Great octave (remember, this is a
Conductor score in terms of “as sounding”) E-F-G “3” triplet value 8ths to (Bar 1)
Contra-octave/Great octave/small octave F to G whole notes fingered trem. Brass play
Line 1 Bb/Line 2 D/F double-dotted quarter notes down to F/A/Line 2 D 16ths to
Eb/G/Bb dotted 8ths, and so forth. Reel 12-A/2/pt A (???) was not recorded. 38 bars.
The cue sheets indicate Reel 13 with, first, “The Rices” followed by T.H.A.T.M
music, then “The Rices” again to “Plane” to “Semper Paratus” to “Plane” to Semper
Paratus. Then we come to “Radar” for five seconds. Then Semper Paratus for four
seconds, then “Radar” to “Plane.” Then we come to “Susie” for 1:51 duration, then
“Plane” for 31 second, and finally T.H.A.T.M. for 1:03.
Reel 13/1 in 6/4 time has the Dolcissimo tempo-marking and the key signature of
six flats. 3 pages, 28 bars.
Reel 13/2 is an overlap cue, 6 pages, 70 bars, I believe 3:51 duration. Bar 31 =
Coast Guard Plane, clouds all around. Bar 35 = Dialog. Bar 36 = radar effect. Bar 46 =
Radar!
blues.
Reel 13/3, 7 pages,70 bars. Bar 5 = His lips moving silently. Bar 27 = Quasi
Reel 13/4, Dolcissimo in 4/4 time, 3 pages, 25 bars.
The cues sheets indicate Reel 14 with T.H.A.T.M theme for a minute, then
appassionato for 14 seconds, then T.H.A.T.M. for 2:40, then Semper Paratus for 15
seconds, then “Relief” for 18 seconds.
Reel 14/2, Appassionato in 2/4 time, 6 pages, 56 bars. This is the reel when
William Hopper appears (dvd 1:45:50) as his amour in the plane reads his letter to her
from his mountain cabin. I like seeing Paul Drake there in his red shirt, taking a vacation
from Perry Mason!
The cues sheets indicate Reel 15 with, first, “Fragmentary” for 46 seconds, then
the Toby theme for 47 seconds, then “Shudders” for 38 seconds, “Plane” for 4 seconds,
“Relatives” for 50 seconds, and so forth.
