BETWEEN INTELLIGENCE AND SENSITIVITY: TWO DISSECTED UNTRUTHS
According to the dictionary of the French language Le Littré, untruths are "words expressing a sense being contrary to that we want to be heard."
These words are sentences we have identified on the Internet which claim that James Horner is inspired lazily or without valid reasons by recent compositions:
A – The theme of Troy (2004) is copied from David Arnold's Stargate (1994).
B – The theme of Enemy At The Gates (2001) is copied from John Williams' Schindler's List (1993).
In the Dictionary of Pedagogy by Ferdinand Buisson (1887), Ludovic Carrau explained that there are cases where the judgment is so obvious that "it is made itself;, the reflection may not be absent, but it is limited to exactly design the terms and put them in front of each other; their suitability or unsuitability immediately appear."
Here we would like to suggest that the associations Troy/-Stargate and Enemy At The Gates/-Schindler's List are based on a judgment that was made too quickly. The combination was so obvious to some people that a prolonged reflection was not necessary. It could have been though. Here' is why.

It's been awhile since I listened to it, but didn't Horner use that theme already in Glory?

actually I did not want to talk about the strange reappearences of somebody else's music (or his own) in James Horner's music (of which Horner says he is not aware of) again, this has been discussed so often.
And I like a lot of his music very very much, he did compose so much beautiful and original music.
You go out on a limb with your ideas. Horner is stealing creative property of a lot of composers, in
Troy for example Horner uses an entire passage stolen from Benjamin Britten's War Requiem.
(And he did that in other films also from other composers, almost literal liftings).
Horner owes Britten (and many others) for using his (their) creative
accomplishments a lot. This is morally a no-go for a composer.
And that he himself claims he does not recognize these borowings means he has some strange incapability in terms of comparing music, or some kind of memory-disfunction, or he is not aware what the difference between speaking in a certain language and speaking the exact same words and sentences means.
He is stealing musical ideas from others, that is a fact, and your arguments are ridiculous.
Sorry to be that clear, I mean no offense, but I am an active musician and composer and when it comes to stealing that obvious and unscroupolous what others spent a lot of energy on, that's not funny and no bagatelle.
And defending it this way is nothing else than deluded.
