Music by James Horner and Barry Mann
Lyrics by Cynthia Weil
 
Track 3 – “There Are No Cats In America“
Performed by Nehemiah Persoff, John Guarnieri and Warren Hays
 
Track 6 – “Never Say Never“
Performed by Christopher Plummer and Phillip Glasser
 
Track 11 – “A Duo“
Performed by Dom DeLuise and Phillip Glasser
 
“For the songs, Amblin brought in Barry Mann & Cynthia Weil, a songwriting duo whom had a long list of hit songs. We had to choose and agree where songs would be appropriate to entertain as well as not stop the story. The discussions we had drove the point that the lyrics must move the story forward or help describe the characters’ personalities. Cynthia and Barry would work together with James to write: There Are No Cats in America, Never Say Never, Somewhere Out There and A Duo. Barry and James came up with the melody and Cynthia scribed the lyrics. Barry and James came up with the melody and Cynthia scribed the lyrics. The first time we met, we discussed the sections of the script where we would insert songs. Each song situation was different, Somewhere Out There was to show that Fievel and his sister Tanya loved and missed one another. Unbeknownst to them, they were both in the same city but did not know where the other was. Never Say Never was for a moment between Henri, the French pigeon, who finds little Fievel on Ellis Island, where the erection of the Statue of Liberty is taking place, and where Fievel has landed in America. He had been separated from his family. He is sad and feels he’ll never find them. Henri raises Fievel’s spirits with this Never-Say-Never song. There Are No Cats In America was to reinforce the belief that there were no cats in the new world. The Cats in Russia were a symbol of the oppression they endured in Mother Russia. The song was about their hope for freedom from oppression. The song would be sung by many of the migrant mice expressing the experiences that troubled them but that their futures were bright in America without cats!. Similar discussions applied to “A Duo” when Fievel and the not-so-fierce cat, Tiger, meet and discover they have many ‘likes’ and ‘dislikes’ in common. By the end of the song they become buddies. “

Music by James Horner and Barry Mann
Lyrics by Cynthia Weil
 
Two versions are present in the album:
 
a) Track 7 – Performed by Philip Glasser and Betsy Cathart
 
b) Track 8 – Performed by Linda Ronstadt and James Ingram
Produced by Peter Asher
 
The 45RPM (MCA Records 52973A) released in 1986 proposes an instrumental version.
The song is quoted in the second track (An American Tail Overture) of the album An Americain Tail: Fievel Goes West (1991)
Steven Spielberg felt the potential of the song, “Somewhere Out There“, and surprised everyone by proposing to record a pop version for the end credits of the film. This version, probably recorded on September 26, 1986 at Abbey Road Studio 1, is performed by Linda Ronstadt and James Ingram. It marked the first step of James Horner in the world of variety and it was a real success, as in the months following the film’s release on November 21, the 45 rpm sold a million copies, the song won two Grammy Awards (Best Song of the Year and Best writing for film or television song) and was nominated for Golden Globes and Oscars but lost each time against Take My Breath Away (Berlin) of the film Top Gun.

Lyricist Cynthia Weil explains this triumph by the fact that the melody is “extremely bright (…) moving, very touching and endearing.”

Performed by Maggie Boyle
Written by John McCambridge (1750)
 
In the album Patriot Games this traditional song appears firstly in the track “Main Title“. This lament comes from a Gaelic poem written in 1750 by an exile, John McCambridge, who expresses his dream of returning home. It will be beautifully developed in the Closing Credits with the addition of a piano à la Thunderheart, a Hornerian touch in a folkloric orchestration. Note that two versions of the Closing Credits are included in this expanded edition: the album version already available in the 1992 edition that, placed here at the end of the second disc, offers the Gaelic version, while the film’s version, placed after Boat Chase – Aftermatch, blends Gaelic and English lyrics.

Performed by Sarah Jessica Parker
Lyrics by Brock Walsh
 
James Horner was first approached to score the film, but due to a busy schedule during this year he could not do the film and John Debney took over. This song, performed by Sarah Jessica Parker (Sarah’s Theme, also known as Come Little Children) is one of James Horner’s most magical and wistful themes, reminiscent of his wondrous tunes heard in his ’80s scores for fantasy films and has a hint of the English traditional song Greensleeves in its melody.

Performed by Céline Dion
Music by James Horner
Lyrics by Will Jennings
Produced by James Horner and Simon Franglen
 
Céline Dion’s biggest hit, one of the best-selling singles of all time, and was the world’s best-selling single of 1998.
 
Three versions of the song exists:
 
a) The original James Horner / Simon Franglen produced version appears on the Titanic soundtrack and has an extended ending with, longer segmented vocalizations by Céline Dion. Simon Franglen mixed the final film and soundtrack version, expanding on the demo and adding orchestra to the final chorus. The single also played over the ending credits of the film.
 
b) The radio version was produced further by Walter Afanasieff who added strings and an electric guitar, as well as rearranged portions of the song. This version appears on the 4-track maxi single as well as on Dion’s album, Let’s Talk About Love.
 
c) An edited version of the song, that had dramatic moments of dialog of Jack and Rose lead characters from film inserted in between Dion’s vocal lines. It was included later on the Back to Titanic second soundtrack album. (source: Wikipedia)
 
James Horner secretly wrote this song for Celine Dion, who he had known since she was 16, but did not know whether she would accept because she had become a renowned singer, and no one even knew that such a song existed.

 

“I played it for her in her room at Caesar’s Palace, Las Vegas. They had a fountain in their room and I had to get the maintenance staff to turn off the fountain because I was going to play this small piano and sing, and I didn’t want this waterfall sound in the background. That’s how I got Celine to agree do this song. Personally, I liked it but I did not know much about contemporary music. But I knew it was a good enough song, but it was a good for the kind of movie, spiritually.”

Dear thoughts are in my mind
And my soul soars enchanted
As I hear the sweet lark sing
In the clear air of the day
For a tender beaming smile
To my hope has been granted
And tomorrow she shall hear
All my fond heart would say
I should tell her all my love
All my soul’s adoration
And I think she will hear me
And will not say me nay
It is this that gives my soul
All it’s joyous elation
As I hear the sweet lark sing
In the clear air of the day

Lyrics by James Horner
Performed by Clara Sanabras
This song can be heard in the following tracks in the album:
Track 1 – Entre La Luz y El Pecado
Track 2 – The Death of Padre Christopher
Track 11 – Jose’s Martyrdom
Track 14 – Just Another Chapter of History (Closing Credits)
While listening to the song, James Horner confided he had written a short poem, which someone had translated into Spanish. The poem went “Between the Sky and the Earth, between light and dark, between Faith and Sin, there’s only my heart; just God and my heart”. He then suggested I should create my own interpretation from these words. At first, he asked me to sing with a lot of air in my voice, a lot of breathing. Then he whispered to me “Sing this the way you would sing it”. I ended up singing without having to think at all, as if it had been written for me.
