To my friend James Horner,
James,
You were wonderful, warm, funny, insufferable … and a thousand other adjectives that don’t come close to describing you and the contradictions that made us love you and throw our arms up in the air at the same time. You were a guy who’d skied well enough to be on the snow patrol in Utah, flew aerobatic aeroplanes, went down caves searching for rare crystals, obsessively collected wooden toys and perspex lights… and somehow managed to fit in a job as a composer of some of the best music ever written for film. Working with you was an education in everything that I loved about the link between emotion and music.
You loved your daughters above everything and were as devoted a father as one could imagine and my heart goes out to Sylvia who has been such a wonderful part of your life.
I spoke to you yesterday and you were in such fine form and great spirits, really enjoying life at the moment, I can’t believe you’re gone.
You were a dear friend to Angela, Luca and I and were part of our family. You were a great musician and it was an honor to know you. I am going to miss you terribly.
With love,
Simon Franglen |
