What fun!
10.) Willow = Robert Schumann’s 4th Symphony, 1st movement (the Willow theme, basically “re-timed”)
the _3rd_ (Rhenish), but we know what you mean
12.) Sneakers = heavily influenced by John Adams, Philip Glass and Steve Reich (minimalist music; 20th-century orchestral)
yeah, mainly a lot of Adams' Nixon in China; also, Arvo Part's Fratres (as I mentioned before), and John Williams' conspirators theme from JFK
13.) Titanic = Courage Under Fire, Enya’s Book of Days (both used in the temp)
and the good ol' ostinato from Capricorn One when the iceberg hits!
14.) Enemy at the Gates = John William’s Schindler’s List (which some people argue is taken from another symphony, although I can’t remember which one right now)
It's a doodle near the end of Mahler's 8th Symphony; first appeared in Horner in Apollo 13, when everyone's waiting to see if the crew's turned to potato chips at the end
-- Jon
the trumpet call from Apollo 13 was also in In Country, during one of the Viet Nam river fight flashbacks
the brass theme from the end of Wolfen gets reused (in a different orchestration) in Testament
most of the suspense/attack cues in Deadly Blessing consist of Omen II ripoffs
what else?
Ah, no one seems to have mentioned the finale theme from Shostakovich's 5th as the basis for Achilles' theme in a while.
party on...

Horner's style has gotten so predictable that it's basically become boring and lazy to my ears. I've gotten rid of a good majority of his scores, especially those written after 1989.
There's just nothing really interesting or fresh about his music anymore.

16.) Journey of Natty Gann = parts of Copland’s Appalachian Spring (or is it another Copland piece?)
-- Jon
This one also cribs liberally from Britten's Four Seas.

Regarding 'the four notes'.I once heard/read that for a person to be guilty of plaigarism it has to be6/7(?) notes,aleast.Anyway go listen to Stravinsky's'The Rite Of Spring'.Everythings in that(especially sci-fi stuff).

Four notes is plagiarism?
Give me a break!
Anyone who has ever played/wrote music knows how absurd that statement is.
If you want to nail JH for copying you don't have to reach that low.

Okay guys, I'm going to take this thread straight to hell. :-)
1.) A friend of mine (who shall remain nameless, although he's known to the higher-ups at FSM), pointed out to me years ago, that you can sing most of the lyrics of the "Gilligan's Island" theme song, to the main title music of "The Rocketeer." (It breaks down after a bit, but try it!)
2.) And I discovered (due to a flash of either brilliant insight or complete neural misfiring), that the lyrics to the old, cheesy cartoon "Hercules" can be sung, virtually in their entirety, to the main theme from "Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow." (In fact, it's damn near impossible now for me to listen to this score without those stupid lyrics coming to mind.)
There. Now I've infected you with this information, and you're gonna have to try to purge it from your memories. Heh, heh, heh...
