A rushing train |
| Description: |
Rushing train music as we see a train rushing towards us on the screen; fast pulsating accompaniment, with the imitation of a train whistle in the brass; the music fades out into the movie |
| Analysis: |
Two levels of pulsation are created to create the sense of travel: a repeated tonic at the quarter-note level and an oscillating 6-5 neighbor gesture at the eighth-note level; the train whistle features a bIII chromatic mediant moving to a viio7, which clashes with the repeated tonic pedal |
