Wow, that's some luck. I wonder what he did to deserve that.

I didn't see Horner credited in the end credits but by god his whole team was . . .
Horner is credited up front, around fifty seconds in. It's Horner, then "Narrated by Kelsey Grammer" then the show's title.
Horner adapts as his main theme for the score a tune I know as "Ani Ma'amin," sung by wordless soprano.

I tried to find a performance of the tune on YouTube, but instead discovered a number of other tunes I'd never heard before for the same text.

I clicked on the link to hear what James Horner was doing, and found myself watching the complete documentary, transfixed. I must have seen dozens of documentaries about the Holocaust, but they're always tremendously sobering. And this human story as told by one remarkable woman was particularly haunting. All those little details that we forget about when considering the big picture.
I hardly even noticed Horner's score. It did seem very restrained, probably appropriately so. No big melodramatics here. I think that it was the right approach.

I dunno, just from listening to the music, I think it definitely sounds like he did get paid a little bit.
