Today would have been my favourite composer's 62nd birthday.
It is still hard to believe we lost James Horner only two months ago.

I will be listening to his music at every opportunity today and this weekend as part of the Global James Horner Facebook Event. #ThankYouJamesHorner

Amazing Spiderman, Glory and Legends of the Fall up first!

RIP Maestro. Your music lives on.

It's not quite the 14th in the US yet. But thanks for the reminder. I will make it James Horner day. It's still hard to believe he is gone.

Well Happy Birthday Mr. Horner...near, far, wherever you are.

Didn't know his birthday was today, but yesterday went for a long hike here in Pisgah Forest in western North Carolina and played several Horner scores on a very nice "outdoorsy" Horner playlist. It was a beautiful day and the maestro's music only made it moreso. My playlist:

Vibes
Where the River Runs Black
The Life Before Her Eyes
Field of Dreams
House of Cards


Will continue on with more music of his today in celebration of the man's life and music.

It's bitter-sweet as this is my birthday as well, so with Horner's untimely death it makes this a particularly low day for me with commemoration thoughts for Horner in amongst a celebration of my own day. With such mixed feelings I don't know what music I'll listen to yet, if any.

You left out The New World, which seems like an obvious choice. Go get The New World.

My thoughts and prayer is with his family. I'm sure this is a difficult day for them if not the toughest. The first is always the toughest.

Just finished listening to BEYOND BORDERS in tribute to the Great Man on his birthday.
Some lovely passages in that one.

Hymn from COURAGE UNDER FIRE is playing right now in my ear.

I'll miss the scores we will never get from him, but will always savour the Great Legacy he left behind.

RIP Maestro James.

He truly made movies better and the world a little easier to live in.



IRREPLACEABLE

Rest in Comfort and Peace Dear Maestro and Happy Birthday!

"The New World" is a beautiful score....God bless James Horner.

Quite by accident I've been listening to Stroke of Genius today. And not too many days go by without listening to Wrath of Khan.

I've listened to Where the River Runs Black, Class Action, and parts of Battle Beyond the Stars, Krull, Commando and Sneakers.

RIP Mr Horner, and my thoughts go to your family and friends.

It felt appropriate to give James Horner's final gift to us, Southpaw, its first listen today. It hit home just how much of a loss Mr Horner's passing is. Because not only did James do Southpaw out of the goodness of his heart, but he scored a film that anybody, absolutely anybody could have scored but he provided it with a score that only, ONLY James Horner could have given it. This is the true treasure of James Horner's legacy and I really hope, as tribute to him that we get to hear The 33, Living in the Age of Airplanes, The Magnificent Seven and the great tragedy of his career - his Romeo and Juliet.

You and I share the same birthday with James. It's a nice sentiment but it's also very sad as he wasn't here to celebrate it.
