Deeply saddened by the news of Hollywood film composer James Horner's death in a plane crash. The first I heard of this was, as is now often the case, on social media.
It's not hyperbole to suggest James Horner, alongside John Williams and Jerry Goldsmith, scored the soundtrack to my life.
From Battle Beyond the Stars to Krull and Captain EO to Willow. Horner's golden age in the 1980s informed and enriched films, childhood playtimes, lively teenage academic debates and countless hours in darkened edit suites.
Here's my top ten James Horner film scores (in no particular order):
Aliens
Avatar
Titanic
Braveheart
Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan
Krull
Willow
An American Tale
The Amazing Spider-Man
Field of Dreams
In this clip James Horner discusses his creative process for Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.
Thank you for the timeless musical odysseys. RIP James Horner.
