James Horner always had a British "slant" to his accent (probably due to him living there for so long), but I've rarely heard it more on display than in this video.

People (especially here) liked to assume it was because he was trying to project some sense of class (or whatever negative connotation one would seem to enjoy associating with him) but I've come to discover it was something he always had even as a child.

Absolutely.

Zimmer has some of the same -- a weird mix between German, British and American due to having spent a great deal of time in each country.

He lived in England more than many of you know...

Well, I think it's fairly common knowledge that Horner spent much of his childhood in London.

It really sounded "fake", or at least like he was embellishing. Even if he wasn't.

He also had an apartment (a flat) in London that he lived in whenever he was recording there, and seemed to spend almost equal time between London and California right up until his end.

You all would too, given the chance, don't deny it. I sure would.

Horner went to high school in Arizona and didn't have an accent when he was at USC and UCLA. It began to appear in the early 1980's from the accounts that I have heard. Horner was never forthright about his background. He never mentioned the role David Raksin had in introducing him to film scoring (and bringing him to Bernstein, Williams, and Goldsmith sessions).

Considering the accounts I have heard were from some of those fellow students in his high school (research for a project) who said he did indeed have the accent....as for his background I can say that he deliberately kept things vague and embellished a lot in his life. He was an 'eccentric' from day one.

  • James Horner always had a British "slant" to his accent (probably due to him living there for so long), but I've rarely heard it more on display than in this video.

    For me, it's less "British" and more "High Basic". He might've been an Imperial Senator.

  • You all would too, given the chance, don't deny it. I sure would.

    I admit, I truly dig that Addams Family Meets Gotham weather going on there. But it's too expensive to ship anything there (so I keep hearing), so here in podunk backwards yet criminally shippable America I stay. big grin

  • ... as for his background I can say that he deliberately kept things vague and embellished a lot in his life. He was an 'eccentric' from day one.

    Like that one time he fought a chimera. Ah, the halcyon days.

    James was at Verde Valley in 1970.
