JAMES HORNER - FIVE YEARS AFTER

Exactly 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.

CINEMASCORE COMBINED HORNER ARTICLES

The 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.
