The music throughout the film follows many of the classic Hollywood style. I noticed sequence, of the same tune building and repeating over and over, in many scenes through the whole film. Some examples of sequence include when the nobles are feasting, the men are climbing the tree and the soldiers are walking through the forest.
I also noticed the mixture of diegetic music and background music in several of the scenes. This occurs in the seen when a fiddle is being played while Robin hood and another man fight on a log but there is also background music playing and the sound of their swords. It is difficult to determine what music is diegetic and what is background music. This mixture also occurs at the celebration when a band of horns is playing but there is also background music.
I also observed theme romantic string music played each time Robin and the Lady are together. This is a cue for the love between them. There is also triumphant horn leitmotif when Robin enters the scene on a horse.
I found the music entertaining but too repetitive and sequential for my taste. The music was too predictive and cliche for the action and romance scenes.

I agree with your comment that the music was to repetitive and sequential. I think that majority of the time it did help the progression of the movie but sometimes it did not. It sometimes made the scenes feel a lot longer than they should have been.
