Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune
Dimitri Tiomkin used themes by Claude Debussy, including "Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune" ("Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun"), the two Arabesques, "Nuages" and "Sirènes" from "Nocturnes", and "La fille aux cheveux de lin", with the addition of Bernard Herrmann's "Jennie's Theme" to a song featured in Nathan's book ("Where I came from, nobody knows, and where I am going everyone goes"), utilizing a theremin. Herrmann was assigned the original composing duties for the film but left during its extended shooting schedule.
