Bert comes home |
| Description: |
Innocent, gentle, and mild theme for Bert; the melody is based on a two-note oscillating motive; this theme was repurposed from one of Steiner's much earlier film scores - Sweepings (1933); the theme becomes darker as Bert arrives home tired from work; music out with the doorbell buzzing |
