I meant the theme that's there when the thief is being followed by the ball for example, or when he falls into the moat and climbs up the pipe. I can see the symbolic appropriateness of using it now, but I don't think it really fits the mood of the scenes - it's ok in some parts (10 seconds or so from the moment he falls into the water, for example), but in others it sounds too beautiful and dramatic. Also it's an imperfect solution, since you were still forced to resort to the Robert Folk score at the end of both of those scenes (it plays when the thief flushes himself down the pipe, and when the ball lands on that tree and he climbs down). Except that musically speaking, it doesn't make sense for the Folk score to be there now because you kept the final part of the score but removed all of the build-up (thus, the musical theme used when he falls down the pipe is now unconnected to any music that was heard before, whereas previously it was a natural progression from the music used when he was climbing UP the pipe. Ditto with the ballgame scene.)

But anyway, I'm beating a dead horse - what's done is done. Although I wonder - if I find a solution that sounds better to me, is there any way that I can put the music into the scene and burn my own DVD? I remember you posted a list of the programs you used somewhere many pages back, but I'll be damned if I can find it...
