filmmusic 1,829 Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 I just saw this in imdb, in the trivia for the film "Always" (1989).Portions of John Williams' music are derived from Ralph Vaughan Williams' "Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis."where did he come up with such a conclusion? what portions could the writer mean?I don't think I agree.

I can't hear any direct melodic similarities at all. And the claim that the music in the film is derived from the piece seems to me like ignorant nonsense.

MSM 126 Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 I don't see any resemblance either. The piece by Vaughan Williams is bloody amazing btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
