⚠️ Note: The original song uses slides (glides) between notes, e.g., from B to C, and C to D – very characteristic of film violin phrases. On violin, achieve this by keeping finger pressure light while sliding up/down the string.
The interludes in this song are iconic. The first interlude features a beautiful call-and-response between the flute and the violin.
