For the Rohan theme he used the Swedish fiddle, which has sympathetic strings, to give it that quivery feel which fits the mood so well.

Nitpick:
It was actually a Norwegian Hardanger Fiddle: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardanger_fiddle

I was really happy when I found that the Django movie had a new Morricone piece:

Tarantino also recently did a show where he went through the Django soundtrack that you can listen to here: https://soundcloud.com/unchained-soundtrack/quentin-tarantino-special

Morricone is definitely my favorite composer and one of the most influential (christmas example: watch Once Upon a Time in America and then listen to the Pogues - Fairytale of New York.)

The spaghetti western scores he did are classic and his new scores are also really good.

I recently stumbled over this track from 2000: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2KZnP1eAkcU
Part of it reminded me strongly of a very popular movie theme that came out a bit later. In fact so much so that I find this melody really irritating because it doesn't continue in the expected way (I wont say to which theme I think it's similar to not influence anyone).
Now my question is, do you hear it as well or am I going nuts?
And if you hear it too, is this just in the realm of coincidence or would you think one melody inspired the other?

Just out of curiosity.

I'm guessing it's this:

It's most likely just a coincidence.
