Faleel, I included your feedback in this post as I will be cleaning out comments from the main post shortly.

"D4T2 - In The Bulrushes (3:23)" This OST track has an alternate of D1T3 using bass flute.

Noted.

"D2T26 - Death Gongs (:28)" Strangely, in the film, it seems only one of the gongs can be heard in the scene indicated by the placement on the CD, but after D2T31 we hear all three gongs.

All three are heard in that scene. There is some distance between them.

"D3T26 - The Royal Barge (Short Source Alternate) (:16)" In the film this goes right after D1T18

Noted.

"D3T27 - Tiple (Wild) (:31)" In the film this is overlay-ed onto D1T19

In rehearing this section, is not overlaid. It sounds like the wild instrumentation replaced the film version for one instrument. As there is no way to edit this accordingly to sound good, I put a note.

"D3T19 - Exodus – Part 3 (Short Version) (1:37)" This is actually the film version, the version in the main program is an alternate (slower) take

Noted and corrected.

Some of the Disc 3 alternates are out of sequence, here they are in the proper sequencing:

D3T24 - Exodus (Early Version) (3:12)
D3T19 - Exodus – Part 3 (Short Version) (1:37)
D3T20 - Shofars & Fanfares (Alternates) (:56)
D3T22 - The Red Sea – Part 3 / Song Of Joseph (Film Edit) (2:00)
D3T23 - The Red Sea – Part 4 (Early Version) (1:34)
D3T30 - The Finger Of God – Part 1 (Early Version) (:37)
D3T25 - The Lord’s Side (Brass) (:15)
D3T21 - Exit Music – Part 2 (Alternate) (1:45)

I didn’t put them in order, just left them in the album order. I appreciate the effort. This has been noted.

Since the film version is just a shortened recording, I would place D3T17 - Defending The Well (Alternate – Long) (2:17) in the main program instead.

Since everything else is mostly film versions, I left this one where it is. Thank you for the feedback, I appreciate it.

Of course. I was saying that more as an optional "if the listener feels like it" type of thing

Also, there is a bootleg out there that has both the film version of the first part of the Exodus (with extra shofars and different orchestration for the section of the Women discussing the promised land), the film version of The Die is Cast, and a potential additional alternate of "The Finger of God Part I" (or tracked music)
