the first movement of Hanson's "Romantic" accompanying--would Ripley have said "believe it or not?"--Alien's end credits.
If you haven't already, Piston's Fourth is another one you might want to give an ear to.

The original film used music written by Jerry Goldsmith. Ridley Scott did not like it, so the Hanson music was inserted instead.

Cuz, y'know, most of those classical guys died when the Black Death hit, and the ones who survived got their heads cut off in the French Revolution.

Interesting. It's probably the publisher (Carl Fischer, I believe) and not Hanson's successors or heirs who has the authority to grant permission, and permission is routinely granted. Still, quite a blunder if true.
I don't know how it all turned out, I don't even know if a soundtrack album was ever sold.

AE Van Vogt, whose Voyage of the Space Beagle contained the novelette
that Alien copied.
While James Horner got composer credit, I think the other music used was actually stolen too.
The Gayne Ballet by Katcheturian (sp?) comes to mind, and the example you cited,
maybe more, haven't seen it in a long time.
I don't recall hearing any Khatchaturian in Alien. And I think you mean Jerry Goldsmith rather than James Horner?
