Thanks for the clarification. I had a suspicion that I was misreading your
message. Certainly one of the main reasons film scores are under such
suspicion as music that hardly qualifies as "classical" is that, in many
quite well-made films, the music plays such a minor role in the creative
collaboration that film music as a whole gets the reputation of being "mere
accompaniment." Though much of the work of John Williams and others can be
listened to on its own, there is always the "black mark" against it that it
has to serve another master, what is going on on the screen and in the
dialogue, so it really can't be as legitimate as the "real" music, such as
a symphony, concerto, or string quartet, which "stands on its own."
