Re: Non-Jewish Composers of "Jewish music"

Aren't many of these compositions by non-Jews "based" on Jewish themes?  
Seems to me these composers often heard a tune they liked and simple
expanded on it for their composition...or maybe they tried to evoke a
Jewish "flavor" through an entirely original composition, much the way
Bizet tried to evoke Spain in Carmen.

Any comments??
