The cost of the music probably would be prohibitive if they were absolutely faithful to the books, but the stuff that's absolutely plot-essential is classical, which is mostly public domain.
Doing the music is tricky, because, in my opinion, it will always fall short of what you have in your imagination. I don't want it to fall into the trap of Nodame Cantible where I just simply skipped over the music parts because the recording quality was poor or it was just simply boring.

Same problem with books turning into movies. Certain scenes just doesn't play out perfectly as you imagined it, and when it comes to music it is a lot more tricky, because the medium just can't convey what the character is feeling and experiencing to us the way words can.
