The idea of this scene was Father Gabriel's attempt to subdue the natives, as such, to stop the murdering him (obviously), but the music has ended up being far, far more than that, for many people. It's the seminal piece, for oboe (and organ).
The movie as a whole is anything but peaceful, though, lol. As OBrien said, it's worth a watch, if you ever get the chance!
V strange, but worth the slog. For the music, if nothing else!
You're onto something there!
