indy4 155 Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Listen to 1:46 of Mozart's Ave Verum Corpus, and compare it to 2:46 of "To Die For." And please, before anybody accuses me of stalking Hans Zimmer, know that I like the man as a composer, and The Lion King is one of my favorites. Just thought this was interesting. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8599NL4_zY4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eitam 364 Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Wow, I already knew that Zimmer is the next Mozart, here is the proof! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joni Wiljami 1,206 Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Yep, when I first saw The Lion King back then, I noticed the similarity. That scene is still heartbreaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m0hawk 1 Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Yeah, definitely a reference. But really, considering the quality of the entire score, Zimmer is easily forgiven. "To Die For" is one of those cues that, when listened to outside of the movie, triggers off such a devastating emotional reaction. Does this happen to anyone else?

Docteur Qui 1,544 Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Absolutely. It's a beautiful marriage of film and score... And the theme from 3:20 (don't know the score well enough to give it a name... but it's my favourite from the film) is incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the theme from 3:20 (don't know the score well enough to give it a name... but it's my favourite from the film) is incredible.Interestingly, I recently noticed that if you take away the third note of that theme (the pickup) it is the first 4 pitches of Dies Irae. I'm also not familiar enough with the film to label the theme, but it sounds like it could be a theme for Mufasa or Mufasa's death, which would make sense.

Muad'Dib 1,800 Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Yeah, The Lion King also has some nice Morricone and Wagner influences.My favorite score of Hansy. I wish modern animated films would allow for more scores like this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marian Schedenig 8,153 Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 These two names should never NEVEE be typed at the same sentence.It's not necessarily related to talent when one composer lifts, to whatever extent, a theme from another. But as I said, while Zimmer's theme is clearly very close and probably based on Mozart's, it's actually different enough to stand on its own. And it's not bad.

MSM 126 Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 I don't see any resemblence, there's a choir and some common chord progression. They are both dramatic pieces of music, then those things happen. It's just coincidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacqueslux 0 Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Wow... So I was not the only one who noticed the similarities;)But what do you think about this: Compare the part from 1:10-1:24 to the main theme of Mozart's Lacrimosa (from the Requiem (KV 626))? I found the two parts already quite similar when I was a child. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
