In the screenplay published in the year 2005, three "yee-haws" are in the scene where Jack demonstrates bull-riding to Ennis; only one made it into the film.

Joe Aguirre had to think zonally as he decided where his sheep could graze during the different times of the year.

"A" is arranger

Bob Dylan is actually the arranger of "He Was a Friend of Mine", not the composer; it is considered a traditional folk song.

"C" is crooning
« Reply #16126 on: January 04, 2008, 06:13:51 pm »
People who sat through the final credits of Brokeback Mountain heard Rufus Wainwright crooning his song "The Maker Makes."

def - A type of quiet, sentimental popular singing current from the 1920s to the 1950s; it originated when the radio microphone enabled performers to sing softly and still be heard.

Steve Earle's "The Devil's Right Hand" is the song playing on the jukebox the first time Ennis dances with Cassie.

"F" is filmed

Gustavo Santaolalla created the music for Brokeback Mountain before Ang Lee had even filmed the scenes.

Santaolalla pre-recorded his score and songs for the Ang Lee film before shooting commenced – imbuing his score with the stark loneliness of E. Annie Proulx’s original short story.   Link
