I think we're using two different meanings of "original".  All of the 
score _except_ "Little Maid of Arcadee" and "Climbing Over Rocky 
Mountain" was done by their composer-in-residence, Quade Winter. 
They've also done his all-new score for "The Carp", to replace the lost 
Celier score, and he did most of the reconstruction work for "Eileen".
