If you look at the sheer quantity of music out there, it's pretty obvious that you're going to have some overlap. I think sometimes a composer is 'inspired' by other pieces, but the imitation is so close that it is, to put it bluntly, a rip-off.That is exactly what I was about to say. The opening of the allegro of the first movement of Schubert's 9th, for example, is deliberately copied from Notte E Giorno Faticar from Don Giovanni (the first scene where the singing starts). Sometimes, however, works can be directly inspired by other pieces, to the extent that the composer has deliberately copied and altered the original, and you would never be able to tell in a million years. As much as I like Star Wars and John Williams, it is practically lifted from The Planets into a galaxy far far away.Īs for Andrew Lloyd-Webber, my tutor said of his Requiem that he knew three composers who had written it. Someone as familiar with Star Wars as I am will only be able to listen to Mars with something of a smile. I think sometimes a composer is 'inspired' by other pieces, but the imitation is so close that it is, to put it bluntly, a rip-off.
I suspect some are plagiarism, some coincidence I doubt the Star Trek theme tune is a deliberate rip-off for example.
What say you? (That was my Viggo Mortensen/Aragorn imitation)Īnyway, there is only so many note combinations and rhythms out there, so some things are bound to sound alike, especially when a melody is based on a triad like one of the ones you mention. How many other are floating around out there? Why does it happen? I'm pretty sure Shostakovich never heard How dry I am. The main theme opens like "How Dry I Am" but in a minor key. Even Shostakovich does it in the finale to the 5tyh synphony.

While on the subject of Lloyd-Webber, "I don't know how to love him" sounds suspiciously like the second movement from the Mendlessohn violin concerto while "The Music of the Night" starts out like "Come to me, bend to me" from "Brigadoon". Thene there is the falling triad that opens "The Star Spangled Banner", "Dixie" and "Jesus Christ Superstar". In Huindemiths "Mathis der Mahler" synphony, there is what sounds for all the world like the Star Trek trumpet theme. They played a piece by Grieg that I was not familiar with but the melody was a dead ringer for "Yankee doodle" The piece was called "in Autumn" I think.
