Dracula is one of those rare instances where it’s pretty clear that they temped the movie with Kilar music and he was able to surpass and unify the new music that he wrote for it.
Indeed, there are some concert works by Kilar that sound like they must have been used as a temp track (and served as a template) for BRAM STOKER'S DRACULA. For example, the short "Victoria" (1983) sounds as if Coppola heard it somewhere and thought: that's the music I want for Dracula!

If you want music that sounds like it’s from Transylvania you needed to go to a dark corner of Eastern Europe. And that’s what Coppola did.
Poland, which has certainly experienced much darkness, is actually the very epitome of Central (rather than Eastern) Europe. Its territory has been endlessly contested between Russia and Germany, with painful results. Still, I take your point: Coppola was wise to think outside the box, and Kilar provided exactly the right tone.
As for Transylvania, it really is described in the novel and film as a frontier between European and Turkish civilization. The land actually lies in present-day (as well as historic) Romania. Any well-known modern composers from Romania? I see that Vladimir Cosma was born in Bucharest (which, however, is not in the Transylvanian region).
Wow. Thanks for the geography lesson.
Kilar was born in Lviv (present day Ukraine) directly north of Romania. Katowice, where he spent most of his life, can be seen at the beginning of Tony Palmer's documentary about Gorecki writing his Third Symphony:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mLt9aSWkMRk
Pretty dismal place, largely cut off from the West thanks to the Soviets.

Enescu is one of my favorite composers for the concert hall, and the only child prodigy composer in history on the level of Korngold, with a fully developed musical voice from an extremely young age.
Would have been super cool if he'd dabbled in film music, but he did give us a lot of great stuff anyway. And his opera Oedipe is pretty darn cool.

The trailer music is all from Kilar's previous work, something NO ONE TOLD ME for like 20 years.

Has DRACULA started shipping today?
I hope so. Ordered this and Harry Potter and Potter has begun shipping yesterday to people who only ordered Potter.
