Lilburn definitely plagiarized. I'm listening to "Forest (Tone Poem) (1936)." There's a long slow section where he's building up and he uses Sibelius 5th Symphony thirds -- same notes, harmonies, everything. You can't miss it!

Maybe, but I still regard him as a fine composer. Arthur Butterworth quotes from Sibelius's 'The Tempest' in his fine 4th Symphony, however, I still regard it as an excellent symphony.
"Courage is going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm" (Churchill).

'The test of a work of art is, in the end, our affection for it, not our ability to explain why it is good' (Stanley Kubrick).
