Does anyone know what the instrument is that comes in at 4:13?

Whatever it is, it has a weird timbre, totally parallels Lawrence's eccentric character. Love this movie:)

@pattyestrada66 i think it's the Ondes Martenot, an instrument created in 1928, and is a more modern electric sort of instrument. among other things, its something that elmer bernstein was particularly fond of and used copiously in his later work.

@1993kerim Lawrence is a greatly respected historical figure. So I say to you sir, Fuck you!

I don't think the beginning music was ever in the film (which I saw again yesterday).

I think the desert scene music only begins at around 1:00 (the sunrise scene) and also when the whole orchestra comes in at 1:20 I think in the film they're more strings than brass as we hear here.

i think it's a Theremin, watch that instrument on videos, it's amazing!

@pattyestrada66 I'd say that it may be a theremin..

It is waning at times. It begins with a dawning that one is not sure, if it's a twilight. However, it become very evident that it is the brightness of the Arabian sun, and the powerful heat of its day.

I saw this movie when I was a lad. I must say, it changed my life, for the better. What a study in history, geography, psychology and topography. If only school was like that lesson in a story. A true story, might I add.

Great movie, currently reading the book, but outstanding as well, so far.
