It's well known that apparently Herrmann was too exhausted to conduct this cue. HOWEVER, there are TWO VERSIONS of this cue... I'm wondering if that "alternate" version of the cue was conducted by Herrmann, and when they deemed it unsatisfactory, Herrmann handed the baton over to Johnson, who then recorded the cue that was actually used in the film.
Okay... I realise that's an impossible question to answer... but maybe SOMEone here knows!
NP - GUESS!

I retract my statement about the alternate take being ten seconds shorter than the final take. WELL. actually it IS ten seconds shorter on the Music Box CD, but after careful scrutiny while trying to play it in sync with the DVD, I noticed that the pitch is not quite the same; it is barely-perceptibly higher, indicating that the source from which Music Box took that alternate take was not quite at the right speed. By the sound quality alone, we can determine that those three bonus cue did not come from the same pristine source as the rest of CD 1. So, my latest hypothesis is that at some point along the way, the source of those three bonus cues was copied on equipment running just slightly off-specifications, hence the time differences.
Additional notes after again listening to the Music Box CD. If I mentioned these years ago, I apologize:
The unused cue "Ransom" would have appeared between "The Ferry" and "The Hideout." I believe it would have covered the short nighttime scene of the henchman returning by car with the ransom money suitcase and running down the basement stairs, saying "I've got it!"
The unused "Past and Present" cue was supposed to be between "Cemetery" and "New Orleans." I presume this would have been over the scene between John Lithgow and his secretary concerning Court's upcoming marriage plans. Lithgow says something like "If I hadn't seen it myself, I wouldn't have believed it. It was like Elizabeth walked out of her tomb!" I am guessing the "Past and Present" cue would have started right after that line. In that position, it finishes the scene (and that reel of film),and leads directly into "New Orleans," which is the opening of the next reel.
