O - new, Nov 19 
Dancing folk music to be used as the opening backdrop to lines on pp.1-4, and again pp.6-7. Multiple repetitions and variations, with some exuberant improvisation with Alisa Rose on fiddle, also handclaps, some distant background voices, etc., will give this a good "midsummer's eve" vibe. It very closely resembles the more sinister J in structure but not in mood.
K - revised Nov 18 Delicate single-chord punctuation, to be used three times: at the bottom of p.10, as "JEAN hesitates", then again as "JEAN kneels", and once more at the top of p.11, where "THEY drink". Four possibilities, all using the opening chord from the love theme (Q, below):
First option (my favorite): Reverse plucked strings
Second option: Plucked steel guitar
Third option: Plucked trio strings
Fourth option: Bowed strings
Q - new, Nov 18 Slow dreamy romantic cue. Very quiet, way in the background. Begins at the bottom of p. 12. Music is fairly acerbic initially but very gradually becomes sweeter during Jean's soliloquy on p. 13, much sweeter by the bottom of p.13. Ends on p. 14 just before MISS JULIE says "Sit still now."
S - new/substantially revised, Nov 19 Tragic meltdown for Miss Julie's defensive rant on p.44. Cue ends as Christine enters.
Previously considered - to be revised or recorded:
M - to be revised Slow dreamy romantic cue with piano used on p.30, the piano chords should sound in between dialog, i.e.,
JEAN: And I know I could never make you love me.
>cue M, strings; two piano chords sound, then:
MISS JULIE: Are you sure of that?
>cue M continues, piano chords sound, then Jean begins the rest of his lines.
We've talked about a cello pulse should begin by the bottom of p.30 and end abruptly after Jean delivers his line at the top of p.30. (Cello pulse not written yet!)
J - needs to be recorded with racous climax Evil folk music, with dialog, for pp.20-22. I think this can all be one cue; the dialog wouldn't need to be timed quite like this and it would still work fine. (The swell at the end should be turned up manually to coincide with the action.)
G - needs to be recorded To accompany Jean's actions at the bottom of p.41 (JEAN quickly gets himself ready). Should stop as Miss Julie enters.
H -needs to be recorded in layers for Cricket The drone that is revealed when the above cue is stopped (p.41). Continues through p.43 until the greenfinch loses its head.
