Jerry Holt’s essay focuses on the function of music in The Wild Bunch, with particular attention to how the film’s Spanish corridos, chief among them “La Golondrina,” subtly underscore the dramatic action and add a new dimension to the film’s combination of romanticism, violence, and drama.

Keywords:   “La Golondrina”, film music, corridos, Jerry Fielding
