61 AND NEW CONTENT ON THE SITE
61, Happy Birthday Maestro!
Remember when we celebrated James Horner's 60th birthday on 14 August 2013 by publishing a long nostalgic article remembering good times past, and sprinkled with a hint of pessimism about the composer's future of his career. (See here)
A year later, the gloom changed into impatience, joy and excitement.
Impatience because we are only a few weeks away from the premiere of the Double Concerto Pas de Deux. The piece for four horns will then follow next spring.
Joy because his music will resound again in theaters with Gabriele Muccino's film by Fathers and Daughters and with the documentary Aviation: The Invisible Highway, both scheduled to come out in 2015. Update: Paolo Buonvino will finally be the composer of Fathers and Daughters.
Excitement as we will see James Horner conduct his most famous score at the Titanic Live on April 27, 2015 in London.

Thank you for The News. But are you sure that Titanic live are on 19th April 2015? I think it is on 27th.

You were right about the emotional year. When do you think his picture will be shown on the ‘In Memoriam’ at the Oscars this year. I have a little more in common with James than people might think. I was born on the very special day of James Horner’s 48th birthday. It’s something I have held close to my heart when I found out who he was when I was nine. I wish he were still here making music for movies.

I have just read about Zoe’s birthday being the same as James, on the 14th August. What a special day to be born on-you will never forget what you shared with this wonderful man who made so many people happy with his beautiful music. Happy day Zoe for last Sunday. Pamela.
