Yes.

And check out these two seldom-recorded Villa-Lobos chamber works from the mid-1920s. The price is right:

They are sonic and textural templates for both Tamboo and the Sacred Idol.

"Lotus Land" dates from 1905. Here it is as played by composer Cyril Scott. Nearly every "exotica" version of this tune stays very close to the original:

And there are so many film scores from the first half of the century - Miklos Rozsa's "Thief of Baghdad" and "The Jungle Book," Max Steiner's "King Kong," the list goes on...
