Score Reduction: Flight From Peru - Raiders of the Lost Ark

Here's an interesting YouTube channel -- and even twice as interesting if you can read music -- an analysis of some famous film scores. This time it's the "Escape from Peru" sequence by John Williams from the first Raiders of the Lost Ark movie. If you're like me, you've seen the movie and know the music. Here, the music is at the forefront, with the dialogue track diminished and a visual showing the notes as we watch the scene. Just gives you an idea of the amount of work it takes to get a motion picture made. And, of course, it makes me want to watch the movie again.
