Music
* Under the credits is Harlaamstrat 74 off of John Dankworth’s Modesty Blaise score.
* They first meet to a piece called Brouillard (<a href="https://geo.itunes.apple.com/us/album/brouillard-version-1/id419449862?i=419449905&mt=1&app=music" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">version 1</a>) from Georges Delaure’s extraordinary score to Jules et Jim. (A <a href="https://geo.itunes.apple.com/us/album/brouillard-version-2/id419449862?i=419449939&mt=1&app=music" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">second version</a> comes in later when J.J. Audubon is living the high life in England).
* We also hear <a href="https://geo.itunes.apple.com/us/album/waltz/id646119150?i=646119162&mt=1&app=music" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Waltz</a> by Mother Falcon.
* I go back to the <a href="http://www.amoeba.com/please-give-original-motion-picture-score-marcelo-zarvos/albums/2929417/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Marcelo Zarvos/Please Give</a> well when the Scotsman arrives at their store. Note: it’s the go-to soundtrack for “People Arriving at One’s Store With A Life Changing Proposition” here at the Memory Palace. Also: go watch <a href="https://geo.itunes.apple.com/us/movie/please-give/id397089345?mt=6" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Please Give.</a>
* The <a href="https://geo.itunes.apple.com/us/album/adoptees/id555242925?i=555243051&mt=1&app=music" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">little piano piece</a> is from Nathan Johnson’s score to The Day I Saw Your Heart.
* Lucy and John titter like plovers to Andrew Cyrille’s dope, skittering drums on <a href="https://geo.itunes.apple.com/us/album/nuba-1/id318169158?i=318169617&mt=1&app=music" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Nuba 1.</a>
* The especially sad bit, right before the end is <a href="https://geo.itunes.apple.com/us/album/dream-3-in-the-midst-of-my-life/id1018451607?i=1018452332&mt=1&app=music" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Dream 3 (in the Midst of my Life)</a>, from Max Richter’s giant, From Sleep album.
* A couple times, including the ending, we hear <a href="https://geo.itunes.apple.com/us/album/ralph-vaughan-williams-lark/id691644405?mt=1&app=music" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">“the Lark Ascending”</a> from Ralph Vaughn Willliams. It is beautiful. You should buy it.

Notes
As per usual, I read a lot about the Audubons and the Bakewells.
I relied most upon the charming and smart, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Road-With-John-James-Audubon/dp/0396077404" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">On the Road with John James Audubon</a> by Mary Durant, and Carolyn DeLatte’s lovely, thoughtful book, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Lucy-Audubon-Biography-Southern-Series/dp/0807133817" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Lucy Audubon: a Biography.</a>
* Just a quick note: there’s a very enjoyable PBS/American Masters/Nature <a href="http://www.pbs.org/wnet/americanmasters/john-james-audubon-drawn-from-nature/106/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">documentary</a> about Audubon. It’s a fun and informative watch. But, I’ll say, you come out of that thinking that things were fundamentally swell between Lucy and John in a way that I’m not entirely sure is supported by the facts. Or jibes with, you know, human nature.
