especially his RINGS OF POWER scores, which are truly magnificent and amongst THE BEST new film music I’ve heard in years.

I also like these scores a lot. But they also show that his orchestral writing has clear limitations when it comes to variations. There is not so much variance when he uses them repeatedly, not much development, modulation, fragmentation, inversion, deconstruction, transposition whatever. But this is rare nowadays anyway.
And something he has in common with Silvestri.
