Review title: Stirring, but ultimately borrowed
Product review: James Horner has the reputation as a fine composer of film music, but he can also easily be placed in with John Williams, et. al. in the gamut of "film composers who blatantly borrow from classical music composers." Williams is primo facto enemy no. 1, but Horner has been known to dip into the 19th century music barrel from time to time for ideas. Alas, the soundtrack to "Willow" is one of these times. As well as the music works in the film, and I believe does, this reviewer just cannot get over the similarity between the 'Escape fromt the Tavern" theme and the third movement of Schumann's "Rhenish" Symphony. One would hope that he was not "phoning" this score in, but I cannot imagine I'm the only one to make this connection.
