Description
On-screen: David realizes he is in love with Leni
Description: Slowly growing string idea, expanding as David's feelings for Leni expand; starts as very soft, dissonant violin clusters, followed by wedgelike expansion and a crescendo, leading to some romantic melodic writing highlighting a tender suspension at the climax
Music annotations: [m. 1] pp / pp / pp; [m. 2] a tempo; [m. 4] p / Hugo! I also want to use 16 or 20 violins for the End Title + End Cast (so we can make this at the same time); [m. 5] pp; [m. 7] molto expressivo / pp / little faster; [m. 8] pp / pizz; [m. 9] Maybe Novachord might help; [m. 10] arpeggio; [m. 11] accell / sfz / sfz
Film annotations: [m. 2] Who?; [m. 3] Do I love her?; [m. 5] I hadn't thought of it!; [m. 6] I do!; [m. 8] Yes; [m. 10] Crowd murmurs
Orchestration annotations: [m. 1] 4 viol / 12 Violins divisi / 4 viol / 4 viol / vibraphone; [m. 4] 4 more violins; [m. 5] vibraph continued to end / 4 violas; [m. 6] celli; [m. 7] harp arpegg; [m. 8] violas / harp / cell; [m. 9] horn / celli; [m. 10] add w.w. / tutti; [m. 11] horns, violin, trbs etc
Analysis: Begins with a high (012367) tune cluster and expands linearly outwards; suggests D and F major on its way towards Db major
