PoA music...not that we have a choice.

Am I the only one who simply can't hear a John Williams's score 
alongside the pictures of PoA that were all excitedly viewing. Don't 
get me wrong, I enjoy Williams's music-- I do, but to quote our 
beloved potions master (and to direct that quote toward John 
Williams) "you have no subtlety...." Argh!

I just don't hear his music when I think about the dark and 
foreboding sort of things that fill PoA. Speaking of "A Little 
Princess" and the magical realism genre, which I did earlier, I 
really liked the use of choral music in that film.  Of course I like 
Choral music in general, but it can be so rich and alternately so 
bleak...exactly what we need for this story. I can just here a 
cacophony of anguished moaning and chanting for Azkaban (and 
possibly as a theme for Sirius). 

Any thoughts?

Will we get the same old same old, or something a bit different? Is 
that waaay too much for which to hope?
