James Horner

It hadn't quite sunk in until today that he died just a few weeks ago while flying his plane.   Aliens, Braveheart, Apollo 13, Glory, Star Trek ll & lll, A Perfect Mind, Titanic, Avalon, Troy, Karate Kid, and the list goes on and on and on.   A truly remarkable career and though he was criticized for lifting themes form both classical and his own past work, so do most film composers.   Farewell to a scoring wunderkind and a maker of music that will be with us and our collective consciousness forever.

I'd also like to open up the discussion to all film music and how vital it is to the cinematic experience.   It is the movie composers that create the score to our lives just as much as the rock and pop artists do.

	I also made a rip page , he made some wonderfull scores many of my favourite scores are Disney, im really fond of Alan Menken, Tim Rice (words), Howard Ashman (words), James Newton Howard, James Horner made music for A Land Before Time, the music to it 60% of why that movie was so successfull, and influentual.
