is it?

I think Creation owes too much to that piece for my taste.

Horner also has rip-offs from Pärts "Fratres", but effectively mixing in one or two Schubert-harmonies
(like in Sneakers and Apollo 13 for example)

It's true that one piece from CREATION is pretty close to the Cantus, but I guess this is why Young named it "Partly Part" in the first place. As for the rest of the score, I cannot really hear much similarity.

You are probably right, Gunnar. Was not aware of the track titles. Somehow I fail to get enthusiastic about that score in general, have to give it another listen.

Yes Mike, give it one more chance, perhaps focusing on the last few tracks... I still find it to be a wonderful score, it simply clicked with me in a way not many scores did in 2011. But of course it's very well possible that the music simply doesn't have the same effect on you.

"Curiously though the infamous "danger motif" as favoured by you know who appears once or twice throughout the score. How bizarre"
----------
"Really? I haven't noticed that - perhaps because it's not being played on muted horns...? Could you or anyone else point out to me where it can be found?"
-----------------------
It can be heard in the first cue on the CD around the 1'36 mark.
Also in track 4 (Cunning Gunning) at 0'43 (ish).
Also in track 8 (Treatment At Malvern) around 1'06.
You probably missed it cos it's used in that Horner/Sneakers 'flutey' mode.

Still, what a score this is!
A pleasant reminder of how great and treasured a composer Christopher Young is.

I played this score again today, as part of my Christopher Young festival blitz, but didn't enjoy it as much as I did 5 years ago.
It's very good, well written and performed.
But the Sneakers riff seemed more distracting to me and the Vaughan Williams and Arvo Part leanings were more apparent than the last time.
Plus, the themes didn't connect with as emotionally as his other stuff I've been blasting through this past week (Flowers In The Attic, Fly II, Bat 21, Haunted Summer).
It's certainly not a bad score by any stretch, but it hasn't grown in stature for me, since I last spun it.
Next up...
The Core.
