To me The Carivial of the Animals: The Aquarium is a better song and it does it without the aid of a brass section.  What I also don't like is that Alan Menken got a Oscar for Beauty and the Beast despite the strong influence by Camille Saint-Saens and James Horner didn't even get a nomination for Glory one of his best scores because the academy thought it was inspired to much by earlier works.

I can see why you would say that. But still, I much prefer the B&tB one. I didn't know the details behind it though, so thanks for that.

What did you think of the other tunes I posted? And what about you?

The other ones that you posted are all great.  The Beauty and the Beast one is good also just that it borrows to much from The Aquarium.  James Horner is my favorite American movie composer I'm glad that he won a Oscar for Titanic but he also should have won for Braveheart but he was also nominated for Apollo 13 that year so he split his own changes of winning and Luis Bacalov who won is also one of my favorite composers so it not that bad.  Just looking back at the 1989 nomiations he was nomintated for Field of Dreams so even if he would have been nominated for Glory it probably would have played out like the 1995 nominations.  The other two years he was nominated he was up against much stronger competition even though I think that his work for House of Sand and Fog is some of his best work also just not as good as as Howard Shore work for The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King.  I woder why Shore didn't get nominated for The Two Towers I guess it sounded to much like The Fellowship of the Rings.
