Its title: James Horner - The Emotionalist - The Concert It will take place in Szcecin, Poland (2 hours drive from Berlin) on May 13, 2022. On the program: James Horner’s most famous film music but especially the two concert pieces Spectral Shimmers and A Forest Passage which have not been performed since 1979 and 2000 respectively. A moving 20-minute tribute video divided into 3 parts will be shown between the music pieces. It was filmed in Calabasas at the composer’s home with his wife Sara and daughter Emily. Other surprises are also planned. All the information is available by following this link: http://jameshorner-filmmusic.com/may-13th-2022-james-horner-the-emotionalist-the-concert/For those who can’t make it to the concert, a big surprise awaits you in the article.

I can only imagine the effort involved to wrangle everything, to connect with so many relevant parties, to get venues and clear publishing and broadcast rights and God knows what else. What you're doing is a labor of love and the world will be the better for it. Thank you for this. I'll definitely be watching on YouTube on the 13th.

Will need to order it with the other recent Horner expansions I oddly haven’t yet got round to buying. I didn’t much care for Jumanji when it originally came out but it’s grown on me hugely over the years. Weirdly I remember exactly where I got it which was in the small, but beautiful French town of Dinan on a weekend away with my dad and a friend. Also got Alien3 at the same time as I recall.

Richard Penna 3,684 Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 Oddly this is one I never really 'got' outside of the 11 minute climax suite at the end. It's got all the ingredients for a fine action/fantasy score, but most it doesn't really do it for me. The cue for Parrish being chased on his bike at the start is also fun though.

publicist 4,643 Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 Just having watched it this morning, i will point out that his early concert piece Spectral Shimmers begins ca. at 44:40, and A Forest Passage at 01:51:08. The first is very much a finger exercise for later Horner and his penchant for quoting and mixing in classical pieces, mixing obvious nods to Beethoven and Strauss with more modern Ligeti - attentive listeners will notice that the Rosenkavalier quote from *batteries not included has its starting point exactly here. A Forest Passage is unabashed Horner self-reworking in compact 10 minutes (much like his later 'First in Flight' would rework his 'Deep Impact' and 'Cocoon' tunes to great effect), as such it impersonates the concert's title by a meditative to heart-tugging journey through his 'Journey of Natty Gann', 'Willow', 'Courage Under Fire' and similar themes, including also the great trumpet/horn scherzo from 'Perfect Storm'. As such concert evenings go, It fittingly was the most emotional by including the family and home footage (his daughter and wife were interviewed, there was in- and outside footage of his Calabasas home). Which is probably the project's biggest achievement, to tie the event so much to the composer and his inner world. karelm and Tom Guernsey 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor 7,493 Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 Here's what I wrote on FSM: Kinda long post ahead. I had a previous engagement last night, so I missed the live feed. However, I saw it today and was very impressed. If you’ll indulge me a little bit, I’ll relate some of my own personal observations of the evolution of this concert – as a bystander/observer, but with some connections to the people involved, especially the somewhat surprising “Norwegian connection” here. Feel free to correct me, Kim and others, if the details are off. I think this whole thing started with the Vienna concert in 2013. It was certainly a highlight for me, especially my 11-minute breakfast interview with Horner himself on the top floor of a fancy hotel. But also because I met many other fans, in fact many of you, at the same event, with all the social stuff that ensued. Kim was also there, with a friend of his (who sadly passed away much too young). But then came the proper “Norwegian connection” (disregarding for a moment the collaboration with Sissel on TITANIC) when Horner wrote “Pas de Deux” in 2014 for the two Norwegian soloists Mari and Håkon Samuelsen. I think that’s one of the reasons for why Horner came to Stavanger, Norway for a concert on May 13, 2015(?), conducted by Wigum(?). I can’t remember why I couldn’t attend, but I was probably at the Krakow film music festival at the time. Or maybe Cannes. Or somewhere else entirely. Either way, I regret it to this day, because it seemed like a fantastic event. You could even hang out with Horner himself as there was a boat trip out in the archipelago. I’m guessing this is where Kim connected with Sarah Horner. And then, of course, Horner passed away shortly thereafter. But the groundwork was laid for this concert. I’ve never met conductor Torodd Wigum, but in addition to Kim, who I’ve met on a few occasions, I’ve also interacted with Johannes Leonard Rusten, one of the arrangers. I think we were in contact by e-mail in 2014 when we needed his score for the film SKUMRINGSLANDET for jury consideration. Nikoforos Chrysolaras, I hung out with during the Camille award days in Pula, Croatia, in – I think – 2018. So it’s been weird to watch this whole thing come together from people I more or less know. I could never envision a Horner/Norway connection this way. So…for the concert itself. First of all, I was struck by the professionalism of it all. Somehow, I never expected that, don’t know why. Loved those beautiful segments with Sarah and Emily. The sunset mood shots, the drone shots, the genuine talk, all very professional and probably a bit expensive. The performance and program itself was great (I’ve never been particularly concerned with the occasional flub, and there weren’t really that many of them in the first place), although the Horner nerd in me will always prefer the osbcure over the well-known. But to get to hear “Spectral Shimmers” was awesome – as others have alluded to, a very post-modern piece that inverts and re-organizes the classical quotes. “A Forest Passage” was very nice. I don’t get why people call it a hodgepodge of his different styles; for me, it’s a very precise and consistent piece. True, it sounds like a melodic film piece, but that’s not a drawback. Loved the simplicity of the stage's mise-en-scene -- just colour changes, not projection or anything. A proper concert. All in all, I’m extremely impressed that you all got to get this off the ground (and Kim, I had no idea you could write/read/arrange music). It’s a beautiful testament to who he was, and deserves to be recorded for posterity. Thank you! JNHFan2000 and Yavar Moradi 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's what I'd do: if anyone criticizes me for not having any given score, I'd either not care and probably just react with a emoji, or just make another joke. I wouldn't be sad or angry with the poster, because I don't take it too seriously. Like, whatever dude, it's my collection, not yours. TLDR: just relax. It's just a forum for film music fans.
