![]() Unreleased projects: ![]() ![]() © HBO ![]() JAMES HORNER - FIVE YEARS AFTER - SIX FULL TESTIMONIALSAs we indicated when we published our James Horner - Five Years After tribute video, some testimonials had been shortened in order not to extend the length of the video too much and to give each participant a fair presence.Today we wanted to share with you the testimonies in written form and in their entirety. The videos of the testimonies of Christopher Young, JAC Redford and Sandra Tomek will be published in separate articles. In 1994-95 I had the good fortune of working as orchestrator with James Horner on three of his movies: Apollo 13, Jumanji and Balto. Once a project had JAMES HORNER - FIVE YEARS AFTERExactly five years have gone by since James Horner passed away. On a Monday, like today. Five years ago. That's both a lot and so little. The shock was so great; the memory of that sad day is forever seared into our consciousness and will remain so despite the passage of time. Even though we busy ourselves on our various projects, today we wanted to pay tribute to James. We reached out to his friends, his peers, his collaborators and his family and asked them to share their memories and thoughts. We are proud to present a 20-minute video with all STAR TREK II ARCHIVES: STARLOG AND CINEFANTASTIQUEAs part of the writing of Episode 6 of Fond Memories, we found two articles originally published in Cinefantastique and Starlog. We propose them as transcripts below. Special thanks to Ken Hanley (Fangoria), Randall D. Larson, Chodisetti-Ravi Shankar Chandra, Byron Brassel and John Andrews. Going back in time to October 1982, from the 63rd issue of the famous, long since deceased Starlog magazine, comes a geriatric interview with a young James Horner about the scoring of the endearing cinematic triumph: Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.Having been written in a time when the name James Horner was not known to FOND MEMORIES - EPISODE 6: 1982-1984 - JERRY GOLDSMITH AND STAR TREKThis episode focuses on Star Trek II and III and Jerry Goldsmith’s influence on the early stages of James Horner’s career. If you have information that could supplement this episode, please do not hesitate to contact us. This episode covers the following scores:Star Trek II, The Wrath of Khan (1982)Star Trek III, The Search for Spock (1984) The previous episodes of Fond Memories made several mentions of Jerry Goldsmith’s influence on the young Horner: such intimate dramas as Lilies of The Field (1963) and A Patch of Blue (1965) seep through in The Lady in Red (1979), the disturbing Alien (1979) left CINEMASCORE COMBINED HORNER ARTICLESThe early 1980s was a watershed time in film music. After the success of Star Wars, studios began producing a flood of science fiction/fantasy & action/adventure films, calling for magical, exciting, and densely orchestrated music. A whole new crop of young composers were stepping up to the challenge. It was an exciting time to be a fan of film music; but it was also a lonely time. The robust, inter-connected community of soundtrack lovers did not exist. Film Score Monthly and jwfan.com did not exist. There was no group known as Fans of Film Music. No composer pages, no FilmTracks soundtrack |
