Jean-Fery Rebel or Bernard Herrmann?

Back in November 2015 I wrote a review of an excellent CD by Tempesta di Mare of music by Lully, Marais and Rebel, which I liked very much. I commented on the fact that Le Chaos by Rebel sounded a lot like the beginning of Bernard Herrmann’s score to Taxi Driver.  Now that I have access to Spotify, I'll post the two pieces here, and ask you what you think.

So here is the Rebel (sorry, the Tempesta di Mare version isn't on Spotify):




And here's the Hermann:



What do you think?
