Synopsis:
Rancher Dan Evans heads into Bisbee to clear up issues
concerning the sale of his land when he witnesses the closing
events of a stagecoach robbery led by famed outlaw Ben Wade.
Shortly thereafter, Wade is captured by the law in Bisbee and
Evans finds himself one of the escorts who will take Wade to
the 3:10 to Yuma train in Contention for the reward of $200.
Evans's effort to take Wade to the station is in part an
effort to save his land but also part of an inner battle to
determine whether he can be more than just a naive rancher in
the eyes of his impetuous and gunslinging son William Evans.
The transport to Contention is hazardous and filled with
ambushes by Indians, pursuits by Wade's vengeful gang and
Wade's own conniving and surreptitious demeanor that makes the
ride all the more
intense.
A NOTE FROM THE
COMPOSER
This is not a big orchestral western, and I
still have ideas about an orchestral western, but this was a more
stylized piece. The thing I enjoyed doing is taking and coming up
with whole environmental sounds and landscape of sounds that aren't
necessarily part of a traditional orchestral thing. Working with
that... I think you can have a lot of fun with it, in a western.
These westerns have something, sort of slightly anachronistic about
them. They're period pieces but they take liberties with that,
musically I think it would have been a lot of fun to do that too and
take instruments that were around during that period and use them in
a modern way. That's what I ended up doing on this. In fact all the
instruments on this were acoustic instruments that could have been
used in the period. From the pump organ to the tack piano to the
nylon guitars to the native Indian percussion stuff, to banjo and
fiddle, tin flute and things like that. Even some sounds that
weren't orchestral at all that we were able to use in a rhythmical
way with everything else, such as a chime from a grandfather clock,
a processed jaw harp and things like that. So it was, from that
standpoint, something I've always wanted to do, and it's something
that evolves, and I think the western provides a great template for
doing
this.
