karelm 2,915 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Too bad he liked planes, he could have chosen something safer like JW (trees)I disagree. A shot of whiskey to him for pursing his passion to its fullest. Few people will ever understand that. People like this are doomed to die prematurely pursuing their elusive passion.

Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Though not official, this does not look promising. As a composer, skipper and pilot, I understand the call of the sea and sky. If this is true (as it increasingly appears to be) I must say he died doing what he loved and that is a rare and good thing. That you lived your life pursuing your passion to the fullest.100 per cent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeH 768 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 When Titanic came out in 1997 I was 11. I saw it a good 5-6 times over the course of several months. For Christmas I got the CD and immediately went to my room and put it on my discman and listened for hours. The impact that score had on me at that age was enormous, although I wouldn't realize it until years later. Alongside Williams, James Horner ignited my love for music and is the reason why I became a composer. I always thought I might meet him someday. Utterly devastated.

Joe Brausam 215 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 I've been listening to so much of his music lately too...Horner is one of my biggest musical influences. His music, along with Williams', was what really propelled me into majoring in music in college and becoming a music teacher. I wouldn't feel the same way about music that I do today if not for him.Last year I had my choir sing "Somewhere Out There", this year I meant to have them do "Dreams to Dream" but never got to it. I wish I had. I have been constantly hoping that he would somehow one day get to work on a Star Wars anthology film. I have been looking forward to his upcoming works. What will Avatar be without him? He had so much left to give the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kendal_Ozzel 36 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Ugh, what terrible news. Just today I was listening to Brazil, and I thought to myself what a tragedy it was to have lost Michael Kamen so early, when he surely had so much more great music in him yet to give. And now Horner today? It just feels awful.Some of my earliest memories of loving a film's music are of The Land Before Time, even though I wouldn't know the name James Horner until years later. That score is still one of the dearest to my heart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
