RIP Composer James Horner

[Lara]

To add to the list of soundtracks (especially Titanic, A Beautiful Mind and Legends of the Fall), I'm not sure I've even seen Casper since the 90's but I still recall the score. It definitely helped make the movie for me.

And a lesser-known one is Searching For Bobby Fischer - NBC used "Early Victories" for a fluff piece to introduce the Romanian women's gymnastics team on their compulsories broadcast. Still tears me up today.

I hate to think of the future music we lost out on. RIP James.

What a terrible loss. An outstanding composer gone too soon. Many condolences to his family.

Today would have been James Horner's 62nd birthday.

In his honor, here's a suite from Glory, one of my favorite film scores:

Today marks the one year anniversary of James Horner's death in a plane crash.

Music from Titanic is always popular and this video packs an extra emotional punch with images of the real Titanic:

Hymn to the Sea

James Horner loved flying and wrote these pieces of music as underscore for the short documentary about the Flying Horsemen flight team and his musical contribution to their act:
