WHO KILLED JANE McCRAE 5:25 (one of 5 segments)
The woman whose brutal murder is said to have spurred on George Washington's troops
in the Revolutionary War. A sad tale is carried first by solo instruments, like ghosts trying
to reveal their secrets. The strings and timpani join in and continuously strive upward in
broken riffs. Haunting sound design pierces the score as each new clue is unveiled.

THE DALTON GANG'S LAST RIDE 4:52 (one of 5 segments)
The day the notorious Dalton Gang tried to rob 2 banks in the same town at the
same time... This score is full of nerve-racking percolating percussion and
strained strings. The same riff used to denote the bad guys is inverted to create the
rallying theme of the town's people as they surround both banks and shoot it out
with the Dalton's, until the entire gang is bloody and dead! And another Legend is born.
