How should they Score the Silver Chair?

I know this is a early to discuss this aspect of the film (post production), but film scores are one of my favorite pieces to a movie and I wanted to start talking about it, now that SC is closer to being made.
First off, I love what Harry Gregson-Williams did for LWW. I think the Narnia motif was really good and sounded unique. Great memorable music.
PC was mostly just recycling LWW music. I heard every single motif from LWW, even ones that I think didn't apply to the scene (i.e. Mr. Tumnus' motif).
I was delightfully surprised that VDT didn't recycle previous music. We did hear the Narnia motif a few times. The rest was original and sounded nice at best, but not memorable.
So, who do you think should score SC?
What kind of sound would you like to hear for this film? Do you think the previous Narnia motif should return? Should the music be similar to the previous films? Something new???
My initial thoughts. It would be cool to hear what John Williams would do. He's one of the greats. Not sure if he'd be the best fit though. When I think of SC, I think more of the music being less orchestral and more "rustic" per say. Like imagine Celtic oriented instruments, rather than an entire orchestra, during the "walking" parts. I could be way off though.
I could take or leave the Narnia motif. If you want to make a stronger connection with the previous films, include it in there at points. I'd like there to be a nice, subtle (not cartoony/goofy) motif for Puddleglum and a dark atmospheric or ambiance-like theme for the Underlands.
Let me hear your thoughts and opinions!
