Much has been said, by many, about Horner, his music and his untimely passing. And much will continue to be said as people discover, re-discover and continue enjoying his music (and the films they accompany).
There are many things I enjoy about Horner’s music. I described them as unique characteristics earlier. I wish to pay tribute by offering a personal guide to James Horner’s music by summarising his work by year (in order of the movie’s release date). Be sure to check out Part 1 of this Composer’s Special: The 1980s (from “Battle Beyond the Stars” to “Glory”) and Part 2: The 1990s (from “I Love You to Death” to “Bicentennial Man”).
Z FOR ZACHARIAH
Heather McIntosh, 2015, Varese Sarabande
26 tracks, 52:18
Music for the apocalypse. Yet, no thundering drums and chanting choirs? Instead, a very subtle, introvert and totally mesmerising score from Heather McIntosh.
The Unreviewed: 2015 Round Up – August (8/12)
In spite of best intentions, it is genuinely unfortunate that some scores are left unreviewed. But unreviewed does not mean unheard. So let’s focus, if only briefly, on those scores that got away this month. Including: “Extinction”, “Staten Island Summer”, “Narcos”, “Jenny’s Wedding”, “Zipper”, “One and Two”.
