Title: Farewell James Horner :(
Post by: sweetapple on June 23, 2015, 04:12:21 AM: I'm so saddened to hear about the loss of James Horner this morning.

He was an amazing composer, conductor and orchestrator. He wrote many beautiful film scores through the years that moved me and inspired my love for soundtrack music since I was little. Seeing his name in the credits of films always delighted me.

A few of my particular favourite pieces of his include:
The opening theme to An American Tail
"Heritage of the Wolf" from Balto (the music during the white wolf scene)
The theme to A Beautiful Mind (which is also my favourite piece to play on the piano)
And of course Titanic, and many, many others :listen:

So long Mr. Horner, thank you for all you've contributed.

Rest in peace, James Horner. You'll be sadly missed.
