Agreed, composers from history like the ones mentioned above and modern day composers (howard shore, danny elfman etc.) completely blow me away.
To be able to "hear" every single element that goes into an arrangement and then actually score it . . . utterly amazing (and to me - borderline genius).
I remember reading a note about composers and their arrangements. It something like it takes over 8 hours just to score 1 minute of material (or something along those lines)
