[Phil loves classical]

Hi davicaxias, can I call you Dave? Hehe. First few notes do sound similar even though in different key, and slightly different rhythm. Either Rota used that bit in his melody, or just luck. I suspect the latter.

Why are you calling me Phil? That's my cat who loves Classical! Just kidding. Interesting. Thought it was just luck.

Sometimes it is. Some guy composed a theme very similar to a theme by Toto in the film Dune, and in fact had more correlations than the Rota / Sibelius. He never watched the movie or heard the music before. I told him about it, and he felt so annoyed that he changed or abandoned it. You can call me Sir Phil.
