I agree. It used to annoy me when I found out that some of the really
cool musical bits were actually `borrowed' from the classical repertoire
with even so much as an acknowledgement of the source. ;-(
SD> Borrowing classical themes is OK if you can pull it off, and they do.
Yeah, I didn't mind at all that they did it. I learned about some
interesting music through Renaissance. And you're right - they usually
did it pretty well. But it would have been so much more educational, not
to mention more honest, if they'd credited their classical sources.
Cheers,
Martin
