When has MV ever used a xylophone? Wht I love about some of Williams' action music, in particular this cue, is what he does with high pitch sounds. He doesn't go with deep brass or a power anthem. Instead he have a lot of high horn and trumpet notes, shrieking winds, and a wonderful rhythm built underneath by strings and percussion.
