Cue of the Week: “Elva Arrives”
The movie Emerald, Texas features present-day analogues from The Wizard of Oz: Dorothy is a rebellious teen from (of course) Kansas, the tin woodsman becomes a heartbroken metal sculptor, and so on.
The wicked antagonist is Elva, an eyepatch-wearing bounty huntress stalking our runaway teen protagonist. To musically represent Elva’s mix of bad-assery and witchy temper I used electric guitar and the rosiny screech of the fiddle. This week’s cue accompanies her first appearance.
