ALIEN music cues?
I had a question about the music that is heard in the movie and is not on the original soundtrack,there are so many cues heard in the movie,i know they used parts of Freud and that the end credits were not composed by Jerry goldsmith himself,but the cues heard in every part in the movie,is it all composed by jerry and that he didn`t decide to use it but the director used it anyway?or did jerry have nothing to do with the cues and the director let Lional Newman compose and conduct his own music for the movie?,,maybe a dumb question,,,but i just want to know ;)
thank you

You can find in "Alien" two audio clips from "Freud" (I can't say the exact sequences in which it can be heard), and one fragment from the 2nd symphony by Howard Hanson, entitled "The romantic", during the end credits. All the other music in the film was used from the original score composed by Goldsmith, but not as Jerry intended. Some stuff was not used at all, and some other extracts were used in scenes for which Goldsmith had conceived different themes. Goldsmith composed the music thinking on concrete scenes of the movie, but Ridley Scott employed it as he thought was better for the film. Sincerely, I think Jerry Goldsmith couldn't be wrong...

the cues from Freud are used in the following scenes:
_when the facehugger bleeds acid trough the floor
_when Dallas goes in the conducts to hunt the alien
_when Ripley comes back for her cat.
