Unfortunately for Horner, this success has also been a source of huge controversy. He has been criticized for ofter transposing hooks, orchestral motifs, or even larger passages from other musical scores of his own or more controversially from other composers and from other major motion pictures.

The theme music makes a deep connection between the watcher and the movie because it makes one care and connect with the characters in the movie. The emotional connection does this on a deep psychological level that one can not...
It has therefore beem the thesis of this essay that the main reason for the success of the film and the song is due to the emotional connection that it provides for the viewer to the characters in the film. The emotional connection is provided by the universal medium of music. If the music brings out this effect, then truly such a topic is naturally worth exploring. Rarely is a subject worth exploring under any other circumstances. This would then indicate a power integral with the whole song itself and with the other music in the film. Such a world makes one feel estranged from everything else, but connected hypnotically with the characters in a film. It is this power that draws the viewer in and keeps them there attached on an emotional and human level that is hypnotic and plugs into a stream of cultural consciousness that explains the enduring quality of the music's appeal.

Children (most times adolescents, although sometimes younger) left their families to seek their fortune in America. America became famous (and notorious to the pious) as the 'goldeneh medinah' 5 where it was literally believed that the streets were paved with gold (and where one lost one's religion). Russian emigration created the first massive influx of Jews to America. Once there, Jewish life as implicated in the lyrics took on
Popular Song Lyrics Poetry has its origin in performed song, but there is a profound difference between a poem written to be read and lyrics written to be sung. This is due to the power of music: it acts upon the feelings without articulating anything, and harnessed to lyrics music may seem to lend emotive force to whatever (if anything) is endorsed in the text. As a result, writing lyrics to
