A screening of “Apollo 13,” Ron Howard’s dramatization of the “successful failure” mission to the moon in 1970, doubled as a touching tribute to the film’s late composer, James Horner. The American Youth Symphony performed Horner’s entire score, live to picture, at UCLA’s Royce Hall on Saturday.
The composer died in a plane crash in 2015 at the age of 61 and never had a public memorial. This concert, which was followed by a dinner, served as a belated and fitting one, as well as a family reunion. His wife, daughter, 96-year-old mother and brothers were all there — as were members of his work family: longtime music editor Jim Henrikson, synth programmer Ian Underwood and mixer Simon Rhodes.
Sara Horner, accepting an award on her husband’s behalf, acknowledged the outsized role that the team played in his career.

If you’ve seen one movie from the past fifteen years that James Horner composed the music for — well, you’ve basically heard most of the music he’s composed over the past fifteen years. The guy is notorious for using the same cues over and over, making much of his work indistinguishable from one film to the next — and what he does isn’t even that great in the first place. The best way I can sum it up is by looking at The New World, where the most powerful moments involving music come from the work of people like Wagner or Mozart; most of Horner‘s material was left on the cutting room floor, much to his irritation.
That little clash doesn’t matter, as the work seems to keep coming in for him. Jim Henrikson — a frequent collaborator of his — told ScoreCastOnline (via FilmMusicReporter and ThePlaylist) that...

According to reports, The Amazing Spider-Man may have finally found itself a composer, but will James Horner be able to live up to the score created by his predecessor Danny Elfman in the Sam Raimi helmed trilogy? Hit the jump for details.
Talking to SCOREcast Online, music editor Jim Henrikson has revealed that James Horner is in talks to score the highly anticipated reboot of one of Marvel's iconic comic book characters, Marc Webb's The Amazing Spider-Man. While the site point out that he's not yet been confirmed, Henrikson claims that it, "is pretty well set."

Composer James Horner has seemingly done it all during his lengthy career. With seven Oscar nominations leading to one win (for "Titanic"), Horner has tuned up a wide variety of movies including "Wolfen," "48 Hrs.," "Glory," "Honey I Shrunk The Kids," "Braveheart," "Apollo 13," "Avatar" and even famously clashed with Terrence Malick over "The New World." However, aside from "The Rocketeer," he hasn't done much in the way of comic book movies. But all that may change very soon. In a recent interview with SCOREcast Online (via Film Music Reporter) music editor and frequent Horner collaborator Jim Henrikson revealed that…...

Upcoming Film Scores lists the ten most exciting, promising and anticipated film scores of 2009, according to its editor Mikael Carlsson who can't wait to hear what will come out musically of these projects:
1. Avatar (James Horner)
Director James Cameron and composer James Horner are of course best known for the multi-zillion-whatever-megahit Titanic, but they also gave us Aliens in 1986 which stands out as one of the most exciting nailbiter scores in sci-fi history. On that film, Cameron gave Horner a pretty hard time as judging from the composer interview on the special edition DVD, and basically what you hear in the film is the result of a composer writing under enormous pressure. On Avatar, the situation is the complete opposite. A luxury in film scoring today, the total time given to the scoring process on this film will probably exceed one year! Horner is currently working exclusively on this film,...
