I'll just say that I listened to this for weeks, and yes, I kept humming the King Arthur theme after it was off. Shame really. Technically, the score is way above what Kloser usually releases. Really unfortunate there was such a lack of originality when the themes were considered.

I'm glad CC noted this similarity, as well...back in '08, I posted this, commenting on it:

Actually, I don't think I've listened to the score since then. I think a revisit is in order...

Anymore though, I just think such reliance on other people's work is inexcusable. How hard is it to write a couple, very usable, worthy themes? I could sit down at the piano and bang them out in a night or two, give or take a few modifications if necessary. Many times, the greatest themes are quite simple; they're just orchestrated with magnificence and talent. It's not like the heavens need to open up. Kloser...(to quote the overused meme) "I am disappoint"
