Terminator theme

[sonofagun]

Well, I suppose there's a number of musicians and movie buffs here - I've wondered for the longest time about how the theme music for the Terminator movie was structured.

Specifically, the time signature(s) used. Anyone have a link to the sheet music or can explain them?

Thanks, but I'd still like to see the orchestral sheet music.

Tablature doesn't really seem to answer my question. It is a complicated score.

It's in 6/8 with every second bar accenting as if in 3/4. Think of America in Westside Story. I haven't seen the original score but that seems to be the only time signature that fits.

As someone been taking their medication recently? Let me see if I have this right? The Terminator theme sounds similar to West Side Story “America”

Phase Plasma Rifle in 40watt range
My heart's devotion to terminating!
Let it sink back in the ocean
Always the hurricanes terminator blowing
Always the population growing
And the money owing “No deal”
And the sunlight streaming
And the natives steaming
I like the island Manhattan
Smoke on your pipe
And put that in!

GIRLS
I like to be a terminator!
Okay by me a terminator!
Everything free in America
