Cue of the Week: Vermilion Main Titles

Cue of the Week: The Final Painting

Another cue from the Vermilion series, this week's selection is a bit longer and more musically developed than the main title, though of similar mood and instrumentation. This falls squarely in a genre of film music cue that one could informally call "music leading up to the final confrontation".
