The subject "Most memorable theme music" is imprecise.
I interpreted the thread as being a discussion of tunes
which we know as "Theme from ta ta ta" Like "Who'sit's
Theme from DOCTOR ZHIVAGO."
And the word "memorable" is ambiguous since that could either
mean critically acclaimed or popular.
As for the critical appraisal of Prokofiev -- as a classical
music listener, I resent his popularity with the masses.
One step away from Prokofiev we come to Aron Copeland.
Did anyone mention Copeland's score for THE RED PONY?
