Regarding Williams and plagiarism. I have only ever found pieces which have similar tones, or overall feel to classical pieces, but have never found a note-for-note or rhythm-for-rhythm section that would indicate plagiarism. Horner on the other hand..... wow. Today, for example, I was listening to Track 2 of CEOT3K "Navy Planes" (0:00-0:10) , and noticed a similarity in Key signature to his Amazing Stories "Mission" score, specifically from the Track entitled "Jonathan Begins to Draw" (0:44-0:59). When I say "similar", let's be clear, I don't mean "same", as in "identical". Where the 1st track (Navy Planes) has a distinct half-step interval progression during the cinematic reveal, the second track (Jonathan Begins...) has a more dynamic progression of ups and downs but a similar musical reveal, so I feel the musical undertones are similar in those specific sections only. Definitely not plagiarism! I agree with you, and I feel that if a composer feels he must plagiarize, its better to copy yourself than someone else's work. What say you?
