I'm sure it's been discussed here before, but have any of the speciality labels ever considered / pursued this? It's hands down one of my favorite Horner scores, and the original album is both out of print (I believe) and woefully incomplete. There's at least one major cue, the parade scene, that is unreleased and completely sublime.
I wouldn't describe it as 'woefully incomplete', as it contains all the major highlights. I think it's missing about 10 minutes of music, which includes a pseudo Classical/Brainstorm piece for an early flashback scene, a lovely cue where it's revealed many of the black recruits have stayed and the Parade Scene you mention. I would spring for an expanded edition for improved mastering and sound, the missing cues AND some tracks which sound like alternate versions in the film compared to the CD representations (the End Titles mix has always sounded way different to me).
Even with all that's been releases it's still mind boggling what popular scores haven't received the C&C treatment yet. I'd buy it for that parade cue myself.
I'm listening to that Requiem piece right now (youtube...and the conductor is Robert Shaw!!! how weird) and while there's a (very slight) similar sound around the 10+ minute mark, if you want similarities to Glory, go listen to Prokofiev's 'Ivan the Terrible', Orff's 'Carmina Burana and Morricone's 'The Mission'. And sorry, I don't want to turn this thread into another boring 'Horner stole this' snoozefest.

over the entire Requiem which is like 6o minutes, there are quite similar passages. The hostias in movement 2 for example

Anyone know anything about this?
Just get a recording of Prokofiev's opera WAR AND PEACE.
slight fan of horners though Glory is a masterpiece in my opinion that boys choir really tugs at your heartstrings. I believe it was the boys choir of harlem if memory serves me correctly.
