Sure, go ahead and post them here. I thought the old Topics were lost....

Below is my personal study hand-copy of the first several bars of the "Pompey Enters the Temple" cue, Reel 1/4, Production #5035-5.

If I have time before I need to be finished by 8 pm, below you will find two images of my research hand-copies of "The Blessing" cue from KOK, Reel 8/2. This was a White Pages version, not the Yellow Pages original. The first image shows the strings that are soli (no other instruments play until Bar 6). The next image will be the top part of the page. The "Oh" section of the chorus and strings dolce show G maj (G/B/D) to D min (D/F/A) back to G major tonality in Bar 7's whole notes. I cannot yet find my old notes about this cue (buried in one of my research boxes somewhere!) so I'm trying to figure out what is "new" (LP version) and what is "old" ('yellow pages' original orchestration).

Below is my research hand-copy of the first several bars of "The Lord's Prayer" from KOK, aka "Prayer of Our Lord" in the LP. I believe these 8 pages were the so-called White Pages (LP version). The SOPS singing were added or pasted on top. The tonality at the start of the singing (end of Bar 5, "Our") is A maj (A/C#/E) to (Bar 6) D maj (D/F#/A) to B min (B/D/F#), and so forth.

I forgot to mention a few things regarding "Salome's Dance." According to my notes, the "old" (Yellow Pages original orchestrations) Bars 1 thru 9 were used in the original and LP versions, but from Bar 10 on the "old" gave way to the "new" (White Pages version)! So the white pages do not reflect the original track after Bar 9, certainly not in a faithful rendition (but I'll need to compare the two again after this long absence). Reel 10/1 was 5 pages(Bars 1-16), I believe. I think the "start" in the LP version was Bar 17 (old Bar 1) thru Bar 35 (old Bar 19), but old Bar 20 was deleted. Reel 10/1A was 5 pages (20 bars) but I believe these 20 based on the old orchestrations were deleted, so we already had Bars 17-35 (previous R10/1 section) and now we resume here with Bars 36 thru 67 (all new). Reel 10/1B was 9 pages but the first 8 pages are 67 bars, the 9th in pencil (one-bar end), an overlap to R10/1C (alsp 9 pages). Then R10/1D.

Below is more of "The Chosen" starting Bar 22. This is the C.U. of Jesus at the 1:04 point. Major tonalities here, such as the initial Eb maj (Eb/G/Bb).

The images below are the top and bottom portions of my personal research hand-copy of the "Nativity" cue of King of Kings. First you will see Bars 1-2 skipping to Bar 10 thru 14. This version of the cue is comprised of 11 pages (46 bars) and it is the White Pages meant for the LP rendition. There were no pencil "Yellow Pages" original orchestration available to make comparisons. There is no initial tonality but simply the new birth strength of the P5 interval (E up to B) being emphasized, but by Bar 10 we find the Db maj (Db/F/Ab) tonality. Rozsa found the siciliano rhythmic figure appealing for this cue, common in graceful 6/8 or 12/8 time signature. This is that three-note figure of dotted 8th to 16th to 8th. By the way, Herrmann loved this rhythmic device, seen in many many of his scores (and not necessarily in lilting or optimistic music!).
