Carolyn,

I don't have that particular cut but the version I do have is definitely played 
crossharp on an F# harp.  I guess that's the one on _Turning Point_.  That 
would put it in the key of C#...not a nice key for brass players (although 
that would put the trumpet players into the key of D#...which is the same 
as Eb...three flats, not so bad really) so he may have chosen a different key
for their benefit.  I suspect he stayed with one of the higher pitched keys 
though (like an F or Eb or something).

Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.
