Song: Titanic 'Main Rift'

Artist: James Horner

Tabbed and transcribed by: Andrew Martin (andmarti@unixg.ubc.ca)

This is my first tab. Hoora!

This is the 'main rift' to the kick-a$$ movie Titanic (1997). It appears

several times in the movie, including as a pipes solo in 'Hymn to the

Sea', which is where I tabbed this from.

Take it slow and listen to the timing off the soundtrack.

That's about it. The timing isn't easy, I've tried to represent it as

best I can, but use your own judgement. This piece appears elsewhere in

the movie, usually altered a little. Add in slides, pulls and short

notes as you see fit.

Another Version of the same piece:

When the rift is sung by the etheral voice, it's a little lower.

It sounds more like:
