I am sorry to report that one of the best composers and most kind and gentle fellows I have ever met, Ken Thorne, passed way this morning. I received this news from the family. I'm sure there will be articles floating around at some point. But for right now I am going to sit back and play his music all day to remember my friend, the man who first introduced me to English beer.

Farewell. He did one of my personal favorite scores, to "Hannie Caulder":

I had actually been meaning to send him an e-mail for a month or two now to send kind words/compliments, as cues from the score have inspired a future script I plan on writing. Looks like I waited too long. :-(

Sad news.
He did great job with Superman 2 & 3.
And in Help!
And in Persuaders...

Very sad news.He did a great job adapting John Williams Superman themes into the sequel scores and a lot of the original material he came up with in Superman 3 in particular was very good.
RIP Mr Thorne.

Very sad news. RIP Mr Thorne.
His Superman scored were very underrated - I loved them both the first time I heard them in the cinema as a 9/12 year old. So glad he got to see FSM give them the star treatment.
Agreed. I play the daylights out of Superman II and III. Im so grateful FSM put that set out.

He was a vastly talented composer and arranger and it was an honor to work with him.
Had a hell of a run, Rest In Peace.

A lovely, gentle man. Ninety was an amazing run - celebrate rather than be sad.

Always admired his work. Like others mentioned Hannie Caulder was superb score.
Juggernaut another favourite of mine.
Somewhere around i had the 7inch single Legions last patrol, that was him im sure.
Rip to another talented maestro.
