Well, I will admit to there being a *few* exceptions... alternative
doors into our magical world, if you will;-)... at least 2 of those you
mentioned, Copland and Glass, are examples. Copland's "doors" include some
of his old-western-spiced pieces, and even more notably, his Fanfare which
is so often used in big movies.
Philip Glass I personally like, so I may be a bit biased, but he does also
have significant ties to the movie industry. Some of his soundtracks I can
imagine drawing people in... In fact, I'm just about to watch "Kundun"
tonight for the first time.
