"On June 22, 2015, an airplane registered to James Horner crashed in the Los Padres National Forest in southern California.[39] The pilot died in the crash and was the only person aboard."
I'm a huge film composer fan, and he is one of the greats of the modern age.
Notable works
10 Academy Award nominations, 2 wins. His best scores elevated the movies beyond the visuals in a kind of timeless way. He left an emotional impact on them that resonated with the audiences.
He sits so near John Williams, Ennio Morricone, Jerry Goldsmith and Lalo Shifrin in the composer Lexicon. And comfortably among or above the likes of Alan Silvestri, James Newton Howard, Hans Zimmer, Howard Shore, Danny Elfman, Thomas Newman, Michael Kamen (who also died before his time)
RIP James.
This is heartbreaking. I can't decide which Horner movie to watch tonight in celebration and remembrance of his legacy.
One of his best pieces.
Also... "You were good" - Field of Dreams - Moonlight Graham piece.
