The Ludlows
(Twilight and Mist)
by James Horner
from the film Legends of the Fall
Transcribed and arranged by Carla J. Boardman
Description
This beautiful instrumental theme carries the flavor of the film's Montana
scenery. A popular selection for weddings.
Key: D
major
Approx. performance length: 3 minutes
Instrumentation: Listed below
Structure: This
pieces contains the following musical themes, which flow from one to the
other when performed.
- Opens
with the "Twilight and Mist" tune (played by solo piano on the
soundtrack)
-
Followed by "The Ludlows" tune (string orchestra entrance on
soundtrack)
-
Followed by "Legends of the Fall" tune (full orchestra portion
on soundtrack)
-
Ends with "Twilight and Mist" tune (played by solo violin and
piano on soundtrack)
Arranger notes: This
version is shorter than the original 5 minute soundtrack
recording. A portion performed by the full orchestra (approx. 2/3
of the way through) was omitted since I felt that a solo instrument or
small chamber group could not sufficiently duplicate the orchestral
performance. However, my arrangement does include all 3 musical
themes. Also, some of the whole note chords held by the orchestra
have been arpeggiated to add more interest, because the fullness of the
orchestra cannot be duplicated by a solo instrument or group.
