Description
On-screen: Ms. Wren descends the staircase
Description: A romantic theme (lifted from the opening title music of Transgression 1931) accompanies the entrance of Ms. Wren at the top of the staircase, featuring strings and harp; since it follows directly after the other radio music, it is presumed that this is the source of the music, but it acts as a non-diegetic cue introducing an important character
Analysis: This theme features an ascending (partly chromatic) melodic line over a descending diatonic scale
