"The Planets", doing some minor rearranging and calling it his _original_

Now I agree that he creates excellent soundtracks, but a lot of them
are NOT original compositions."

I have to listen again. What he's doing is not necessarily illegitimate,
so long as he doesn't pretend he did it himself.

But the question becomes, what KIND of score should the Potter movie
have? I don't think it should be grandiose like the Star Wars or Indiana
Jones films. I can't figure out if it should be folkish, or evoke an
era of castles, but it shouldn't hit us over the head. That's one of
the reasons I preferred Patrick Doyle or Joe Hisaishi.
