Gustavo's Music for Brokeback Mountain same as on 21 Grams Score

Found this comment online:
"The main theme is a complete rip off Snuffy Walden's score for Stephen King's "The Stand" mini-series." Ummm..sooo...wonder what "theme" from Brokeback Mountain he is talking about?
EnnisDelMar:
21 Grams is a good movie...

Brandon, I agree. but--that 21 G and BBM have this 'overlap' doesn't trouble me in the slightest.
Way long ago, traditional music had no authors and composers--just well-known themes that were borrowed without thought. Of course The Academy wasn't awarding Oscars for best score in those days, and people justifiably expect credit, compensation, acclaim.
Whatever happened, however it happened, it resulted in a miraculous pairing of music and images. I'm glad we have it. I think IT deserved the Oscar, regardless of WHO 'wrote' it, and if any one else genuinely deserves credit/money, I hope they get it.
I've got a fever, I'm raving, and I know it. Night all! See ya in the mornin' (I hope)--
:-[ (Burnin' up--)

Well Gustavo is the composer for both 21 Grams and Brokeback Mountain so if he want's to re-work, refine or rebuild earlier work, that's totally acceptable. The big thing some people get worked up about is "The Wings" versus that Irish Folk guys song, but I really don't believe Gustavo plagarized anything, I really think it's entirely conincidental, and it's not like it hasn't happened before...like Starboard said both musicians are part of the World Music scene there's going to be influences all around.

OK, wow.
Track #11 isn't just re-working, it IS the first half of the "death theme". Maybe that's why it wasn't included on the commercial CD?
Track #3 is similar to the second half, the 2nd tent scene music, but it has become more developed in Brokeback Mountain.
Did everyone get the complete score when fopper posted it back at the original Tremblay?
I listen to that track over and over in my car. And I renamed it from "Horse Love" to "The Morning After and The Night After". :)
