What Mitch said.
The Appointment is a smaller orchestra and that score is very repetitive—it's one theme that keeps coming in and out in variations.
Hanover Street is a bigger, more traditional orchestra. I'd say it's closer to Robin and Marian and King King in that it's not just a romantic score, but an action-adventure score rooted in a romantic theme.
The score includes:
A lovely main theme in the Somewhere In Time style, but more consciously harking back to the 1940s.
Foreboding drama, for instance in the mission preparation scenes.
Sustained suspense, such as when the heroes enter the German compound.
Intense, pounding drama music, such as when the bomb hits near the start of the movie, and when the bomber plan carrying our heroes takes a direct hit.
'Chase' music, for instance the motorcycle chase and bridge sequence.
And some charming chamber music, for instance for the main characters' romantic meets and famly scenes.
Anybody who just hears the main theme repeating itself on Hanover Street is either listening to the wrong CD or just the main title on a loop without noticing.
Cheers

The funny thing is, while The Appointment is a repetitive score, with just one theme (and Hanover Street isn't), it's one of those themes that you can just relax into and the repetitiveness doesn't bother me. It helps it's not too long, I suppose.
Cheers
