[REVIEW] JAMES HORNER: A LIFE IN MUSIC AT THE ROYAL ALBERT HALL

A few days after the death of James Horner, Robert Folk had suggested on Facebook the idea of producing a tribute concert bringing together his closest collaborators. Three and a half years later, this concert finally took place, thanks to Avex Classics, already responsible for Titanic Live and Aliens Live. Vocalist Clara Sanabras, who worked with James Horner on For Greater Glory (2011), and legendary Irish bagpiper Eric Rigler (Braveheart, Titanic) were on stage. The collaborators Simon Rhodes, faithful sound engineer since 1998, and Joe E Rand, musical publisher on about thirty projects, were among the spectators. Sara, wife of[...]

EXCLUSIVE: PREVIEW OF INTRADA’S EXPANDED EDITION OF THE ROCKETEER

It is a great honor to publish this first review of the new edition of The Rocketeer. A big thank you to Roger Feigelson for his generosity and trust. James Horner composed The Rocketeer, one of his most beloved scores, for a Joe Johnston film which has achieved near-cult status since it was first released in 1991. The director, one of the legendary special effects technicians on Star Wars (1977), hoped to turn Dave Stevens’s Comics into a trilogy, but disappointing box office results decided otherwise ... James Horner built his score on 3 major themes and one motif: Cliff Secord, the[...]

THE ROCKETEER, EXPANDED RELEASE BY INTRADA

Exactly 25 years after its release, Intrada gives us great pleasure in publishing an extended edition of The Rocketeer. The original album was released in 1991 by Holywood Records.

The original album, arranged by James Horner, is remastered and presented after the full score as a bonus on the second CD. A Walt Disney Production, the film marked a new collaboration with Joe Johnston, after Honey, I Shrunk the Kids (1989). The adventure, taken from a comic, takes place in Los Angeles on the eve of World War[...]

AUSTRALIA, 1991: JAMES HORNER SEMINARS

Having published interviews given in the early 80's to the CinemaScore magazine (see our article), we continue our exploration of the archives of the past with the publication of the two seminars which James Horner participated in, December 1991 in Australia. That year, the Australian Film Television and Radio School (AFTRS) was celebrating film music with a series of courses and activities to recognize and celebrate the contribution that music makes to the screen experience. James Horner had made the trip to take part in a variety of national activities intended to stimulate an atmosphere of appreciation for the work of[...]
