I plead ignorance.
The sequence sounds just about right.

There are two composers I have a dilemma with Because they're some of the best at producing the most fitting and serving score for the stories they're supporting and I dearly love the fruit of most of their works. But It hurts every time I find out about the original works they borrowed (Stole?).
One is James Horner, and the other is Yoko Kanno.
@ steffromuk: uncredited, adapted and arranged would seem to be the most accurate description, although, and to be completely fair, I'm not as familiar with the repertoire of Yoko Kanno as I am with Jamie Horner's.

As soon as they don't credit their source, there's a strong element of dishonesty in my eyes. So I'll stand by my words.
But I strongly recommend you check the work of Y. Kanno. She's a true versatile genius in re-arranging and composing highly emotional pieces
Vision of Escaflowne, Wolf's Rain, Cowboy Bebop, Macross Plus, Turn A Gundam, Earth Girl Arjuna, Memories "Magnetic Rose" are among her very best works

@ Mr. steffromuk: I hear ya and I'm in complete agreement. I just wanted to soften the blow.

That's okay, Borodin is clearly borrowing from The Rite of Spring in the same piece. Everyone loves re-recordings around here so no one should have any issues. Horner is the best at adapting pre-existing material and making it better. I'll give him that.
Stravinsky was not born when Borodin composed In the Steppes of Central Asia.
I plead ignorance.
Alexander Borodin knew no shame, ripping off highly esteemed composers such as Stravinsky before they were even born!
"Good composers borrow, great composers steal!" said Igor Stravinsky.

I get back to me when complain that his 48 Hrs. score of a copy of some classical work.
I think the scope of his pilfering (my apologies: I meant the unauthorized, uncredited appropriation of someone else's intellectual property) went way beyond the classical world.

For anyone to deny that Horner didn't have his own, unique voice or style - no matter what excerpts he utilised - and didn't create new, fantastic and memorable themes during his career, are, quite simply, deluding themselves.
Isn't pilfering and calling it your own a form of delusion?
