 Randy Edelman (qv) was one of the first crew members to be hired  by Ronald F. Maxwell (qv), nearly two years before the films  release. Because of this delay he had to back out due to a mounting  schedule, but had already composed some themes. It was Edelman who  recommended John Frizzell (I) (qv) take over. Frizzell, in  addition to writing the majority of the films music, also was given  the task of orchestrating and recording Edelmans portion of the  score.
