This instant summing-up of the horrors to come, bizarrely disorientating, segues into a spare and elegant Japanese-style motif initiated by the koto, gradually taken up by the ominous sound of the serpent, and eventually joined by the full orchestra, deployed for maximum exoticism - and threat. The conspicuous absence of violins from the score was apparently the result of a challenge from Goldsmith’s friend and fellow composer Alex North. The staggered rhythmic movement heard in the main title is a technique used to represent the concept of miscommunication in the film.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCreated from the original manuscript, this release offers a rare opportunity to study film music in its authentic, original orchestration and arrangement.
