Arguable one of the best westerns ever with one of the best movie themes. This is all just piano and insane howling strings. (My old music instructor is turning over in his grave about my "howling strings.") I had a difficult time getting the orchestra's string "hits" to sound sharp enough. I dedicate one string ensemble to them, then recorded the hits separately and pushed the level way up into the Clipping range as I re-recorded it. This way I got the sharp high cut-off sound without endangering amplifiers or speakers, (or ears.)
