Macross Plus' "Voices" based on Faure?

So the Wikipedia article for the M+ soundtracks says that its main theme, "Voices," is based on Gabriel Faure's "Sicilienne," a classical music piece for cello and piano. Anyone know if the creators have talked about musical inspirations in the movie/OVA? Apparently the same piece has spawned other anime music as well, judging by the comments.

I can hear the inspiration for voices, definitely. 

Yoko Kanno is also known for... "homage" to other music in her writing

It's the being inspiration for apparently a bunch of other anime songs that really intrigues me. I wonder if that piece is taught a lot in Japanese orchestra classes or something.

I don't think anymore than in the West. Having said that, there does seem to be quite a bit of music in anime where  they use  French composers like Satie or Debussy.
