"James Horner, who has been scoring movies since 1978, died in a plane crash on
June 22nd, 2015. His most famous score was likely the megahit Titanic, but he
will also be remembered for Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, Aliens, An
American Tail, Apollo 13, Avatar and The Amazing Spider-Man.
Horner was born in 1953 in Los Angeles, California. He began playing piano at
age five, spending much of his childhood studing at the Royal College of Music
in London. He return to the city of his birth to receive a bachelor degree in
music at the University of Southern California and pursued a doctorate at the
University of California, Los Angeles.
As so many in Hollywood have done, Horner got his start scoring low-budget
films for Roger Corman, with 1979s The Lady in Red being one of his first
major film score. In his career he scored over 100 films and nine of his films
netted him Oscar nominations Aliens, An American Tail, Field of Dreams,
Braveheart, Apollo 13, A Beautiful Mind, House of Sand and Fog, Avatar, and
Titanic. Titanic earned him two Oscars: Best Score and Best Original Song for
My Heart Will Go On, which he wrote with Will Jennings. The hit song was
written by the pair in secret since James Cameron didnt want any song with
singing in the film."
