I was very sad when I heard about this. What a lost
Love his work so much. 'Titanic' wouldn't be the same without his legendary score
Horner, who died Sunday at age 61, will live on in his endlessly memorable scores.James Horner died Sunday at the age of 61, when a small plane he was piloting crashed north of Santa Barbara. But the Oscar-winning film composer’s work is so ingrained in our cultural memory that he will live on through each percussive trumpet blast and soaring woodwind swell. Before the word became so terribly overused, Horner’s scores defined what it meant for a movie to be epic.
Yet he was also endlessly versatile, a dynamic composer who maintained a sure sense of what every scene needed to draw out and amplify its emotions. From Kate Winslet throwing her arms wide open on the bow of the Titanic to the crew of Apollo 13 engineering a space-age solution while gasping for air, Horner’s music was a common element of making a cinematic moment into a memorable icon.

Titanic—I’m Flying
Horner won his Oscar for Titanic, and the sheer ubiquity of “My Heart Will Go On” in 1998 is testament to his ability to write music that was both artful and popular. The music in this scene is a play on the main theme paired with a melody that evokes the thistle scene in Braveheart and emulates the thrilling rush of the flight Rose experiences. It’s a romantic, stirring example of Honer’s ability to instill a sense of adventure into his scoring.
