They're not obliged to say if the work uses previously composed music if its out of copyright, but they usually do. Perhaps it just sounds so familiar because it is written as a pastiche, even though it doesn't reference a particular work? And of course it has been used a lot.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8391293127288856260.post-28117561803391041262008-06-23T23:37:00.000+01:002008-06-23T23:37:00.000+01:00If that is an original score, what the hell, then,...If that is an original score, what the hell, then, is the other, older tune that it is like?<BR/><BR/>It must be one of those things - like the first phrase of <I>Flower of Scotland</I> always merging in my mind with <I>Va, pensiero ...</I>msHedgehoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05719152265628932122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8391293127288856260.post-15752230839140527242008-06-22T20:45:00.000+01:002008-06-22T20:45:00.000+01:00No that is (or is a reproduction of) the original ...No that is (or is a reproduction of) the original score of 1492: Conquest of Paradise by Vangelis. While some of it is proper latin hymns like "De Profundo" and "Dies Irae" the rest of it is makey-uppy pseudo latin designed to make it sound old, ominous and authentic.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8391293127288856260.post-51302250028564857442008-06-22T20:39:00.000+01:002008-06-22T20:39:00.000+01:00It's the main theme from the soundtrack for the fi...It's the main theme from the soundtrack for the film "1492" composed by Vangelis.
