Document Summary
Compared to sea hawk movie, focused on captain of the sea hawks. Robin hood was a march, which is a group activity: the theme represents the merry man, not robin hood himself. Love theme: comes in the end of the opening credits: blurs scored music, has strings and interval which has a 6th note between the interval, sounds like a love theme. Quiet variation of the peril theme as marion see the saxons. Two (love) themes during marion/robin dialog-second thee from opening credits - which is the love theme (or are both?) Love themes often include interval of a sixth as opening (vi major 6th) Love theme 1 for the big smooch big strings/moment of spectacle. Love theme 2 quiet cello much more intimate: orchestra comes in strong during the kissing scene. Too much to take in, because too perfect. Spectacle of love, music comes in strongly to push us backwards and gives us distance.
