SIMON BOSWELL: Sad to hear of James Horner's death. I first became aware of him with his angular, atonal score to Wolfen: a great horror soundtrack. I was more impressed by James Horner than almost any other composer operating in the Hollywood furnace. It's not easy keeping up that level of output and staying relatively fresh. R.I.P.
RUSSELL CROWE: My sincere condolences to the family, loved ones and friends of James Horner. #abeautifulmind
MICHAEL CSANYI-WILLS: 100 film composers get sent to a desert island with a pad of manuscript paper and a pen. No computer in sight. Which of them comes back with a fabulous score. James Horner would have been one of the first. Very very sad day.

EVAN EVANS: Terrible news. James Horner (music composer of "Titanic","Avatar","Braveheart","Aliens","A Beautiful Mind","Field of Dreams","An American Tail","Jumanji") has died in a private plane crash. I'm so sad for him, his genius, he was a miracle in movie music. He is loved by so many and now his "heart must go on" within us all. This is a huge loss. I am descended from Horners. I feel as though I've lost a limb. He was my colleague, an inspiration, and a hero to me and so many others. Rest in peace Jamie Horner. You will be hugely missed, and now greatly immortalized.
BEN FOSTER: Horner's Braveheart is for me one of the most beautiful scores of all time - I learnt so much about melody and orchestration from it #Horner
MICHAEL V GERHARD: One of the reasons I got into this business is the score to the The Rocketeer. I must have listened to that score 200 times in the summer of 1991. James Horner was an inspiration to me and one of the reasons why I do what I do. I am heart broken by his death but his incredible music will live on in the hearts and minds of generations to come.
MICHAEL GIACCHINO: You were one of my childhood heroes, James. Thank you for the inspiration, you will be greatly missed.

HARRY GREGSON-WILLIAMS: RIP James Horner - A Beautiful Mind, one of my favs.....always enjoyed that one. Love those harmonic progressions. He was one of the proper guys, no doubt - none of your guess work here, he was a sound musician.
I never knew him personally however, but I did look up in his direction on many an occasion.
A sad day, for sure.
Harry
JOSH GROBAN: He wrote me a song that has such special meaning to me. We'll always remember you, James. RIP.

Those of us who had the opportunity to work with and befriend James will miss his wit, his intelligence, his fascination with the world and his remarkable talent and taste.
I was fortunate to collaborate with James on seven movies, none of which would have been the same without his genius.
He will be missed, though his remarkable music will live on. My heart goes out to his loved ones.
Rest In Peace, James.

GUY MICHELMORE: Shocking news about James Horner. Terrible loss of a great composer who still had so much more to give.
TREVOR MORRIS: So I have a REALLY great memory to share with you, which is very personal to me (a bit long, but hang in with me). its 1998 and I am "researching" moving to LA from Toronto. Through Ray Colcord , Kirsten Smith, and other friends, I find my way to the (late great) Todd A/O scoring stage. This is a Scoring stage that is hallowed ground to me as fan of Film Music. Anyhow... I pull into the lot, they give me your standard issue parking pass to put on your dash, but mine reads: "Name: MORRIS. Destination: FILM SCORING. Date: 3/4". I kid you not. Just Read the signs there !!! I framed it and still have it in my studio today as a memory of the MOMENT I knew I wanted to move to Los Angeles to pursue my dreams.
I get to Todd, and the control room (for those who knew it) was very small... so they said "why don't you go sit on the floor". Now where I come from in Toronto nobody is on the floor but the musicians. But this is a Legendary Hollywood stage... so off I went to sit on the couch in front of the glass, on the floor in front of literally 100+ of LA finest. This is 100% true, I took my cell phone out of my pocket and didn't turn it off, but took out the battery and put in a different pocket to make sure it wouldn't go off! Makes me laugh just thinking about it. Anyhow, there I sat, mere feet behind the podium with 2 Steinways and 2 Harps flanking the Conductors Podium.
Out Walks James Horner, I literally had no idea who or what the session I was there visiting was for. It was his first movie after "Titanic" called "Deep Impact". He went on to rehearse and record one of his infamous 8 minute cues, the longest in this particular movie, where the characters both race to avoid the Meteor hitting earth.... and the Humanity of the those left to their fate. I won't lie, I cried in the moment of LA Finest performing and watching him Conduct literally changed the needle of my life, it became a defining moment for me of "OH FUCK, THAT'S what I want to do with my life".
The influence of James Horner before this moment was already large in my life, one of my Gods (if you will), but this was the moment that solidified for me what I wanted to be, he WAS it. Know what I mean? Its THAT moment when you know, not just feel, but really know what you want to do with the life you have been given. That moment in time shaped my life, career, and perspective on what I wanted for myself, and although he didn't know it... James shaped the life of a young composer but just doing what he did... telling a great story thought music. And conducting 100+ members of LA's finest musicians, something I have aspired toward since then.
I'm holding back tears right now, wishing some how some way I would have had the chance to tell him all this. Thank you James, from the bottom of my heart, you are the Legend of the Fall. I'm humming one of your many tunes right now. T.
DAVID JAMES NIELSEN: I got to meet James Horner at the Apple Store in Northridge, CA. He is one of my favorite composers and was an inspiration for becoming a composer. I got to tell him that. RIP James....You will be missed.
ATLI ORVARSSON: What a tragic loss. His great music for such films as Glory and Braveheart were a huge inspiration for me. Deepest condolences to his friends and family.
SYLVIA PATRYCJA (JH asistentka): A great tragedy has struck my family today, and I will not be around for a while. I would like some privacy and time to heal. We have lost an amazing person with a huge heart, and unbelievable talent. He died doing what he loved. Thank you for all your support and love and see you down the road. Love Sylvia.
ANDREW PEARCE: I've just woken to this very tragic news, I can hardly believe it - James Horner, one of the most skilled film composers of our time with an incredible glossary of scores to his name, a true artist and musical craftsman who achieved greatness in this profession. I'm so glad I got to meet him at Abbey Road during summer 1995 where he was recording BALTO with the LSO - an experience which inspired me to follow this path in music. Thank you for all the wonderful music you gave us Mr Horner. R.I.P.
RON PERLMAN: I am lucky to be able to say I was in a movie that was scored by #JamesHorner. Flights of angels dear sweet beautiful mind…
LEIGH PHILLIPS: In complete and utter shock - RIP, a wonderful composer :(
CONRAD POPE: Devastated by the news of James Horner’s senseless death. He was a born film composer. His music was like the man: emotional, direct, and imaginative. The notes he wrote breathed life into every frame it accompanied.
To be selfish for a moment, I cannot begin to estimate the impact and influence his life had on mine. I learned so much from James. He was one of my heroes. Indeed, his is one of the two greatest influences on my working, creative life in Hollywood. Without James there is no "me". How does one thank someone for that?
As anyone who worked with and for James can attest, working with and for him could be difficult and, assuredly, always challenging—however, we always knew we were in the service of a genius, a man of vision and a man of enormous passion.
We and Hollywood are so much the poorer for his passing. If there is a bright side to this tragedy it is that he died pursuing his passion for flight. He made every film he scored soar. And he made my life, when we worked together,soar as well.
The poem “High Flight” says:
" Lifting mind, I’ve trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand, and touched the face of god."
Below is one of the first cues I orchestrated for James. I remember vividly delvering this cue to John Neufeld at 3 in the morning and playing through it at the piano. I also remember when James first “played it down”.
Vale, James. Thank you for all you’ve given us. For those of us who knew you, the world is a much sadder place.
Thank you for making my life richer, better, more meaningful than it would have been without you and your music.
STEVEN PRICE: RIP James Horner. A wonderful composer and inspiration. Thank you for your beautiful music.
GUS REYES: In memoriam for the great composer James Horner

CHAD SEITER: RIP James Horner, one of my favorite composers. Thanks for the lifetime of inspiration, I wish I could have had more.
MARC SHAIMAN: While flying solo this morning, film scoring great James Horner died in a plane crash. Mr. Horner was a true master. Once I had to combat this particular piece of music that had been placed in a temp score, a director staring at me to match or beat it. Forget about it. Now, the scene is beautiful, the actors are lovely, but imagine this scene without Mr. Horner's music. RIP James Horner.
GEORGE SHAW: I think the best part of today is finding out how many other people grew up listening to James Horner, and not just composer nerds like myself. I'm glad he went out doing what he loves: Flying!
A tribute to the wonderful melodies of James Horner! Trying to hold back the tears. https://instagram.com/p/4QwfOgumCh/
XIAOTIAN SHI: So sad to wake up to the passing of one of the most inspirational film composer James Horner. Only a few days ago I was admiring his score to Legends of the Fall and thought I found an absolute gem. We lost an important soul in the music world. He has influenced and inspired so many young composers like myself to persue a career in film music. You will be missed and your music will live and go on and on. Rest in peace.
CHRIS TILTON: James Horner's music ruled my life for a large part of the 90s. Very sad.
ROBERT TOWNSON: The entire world of film and music fans, together with the smaller world of film music fans, and the very small community of the film music industry, are shocked and devastated tonight with the tragic loss of James Horner in a plane crash this morning. It's difficult news to process. The loss is so enormous. We think first of the tragedy of any loss of life and the impact that loss will have on family and loved ones. But for a great composer in the prime of their creativity and output - it's impossible to not also grieve for all the music that will never be written and the joy it would have given James to produce and all of us to enjoy. James was embracing and beginning a whole new chapter of his musical life. Concert music composition and live performance. I cherish the time and opportunity I had with him at Hollywood in Vienna in 2013. I conducted a symposium for one hour and twenty minutes, discussing James' memories of certain films and the creative process of composing. James told me that the concert tribute to him there was the first time he had heard his music in a concert hall. The whole trip to Vienna was a very emotional experience for James. It was an honor to speak with him and an absolute joy to sit three seats from him and watch him enjoy a concert of highlights of his life's work. The concert was brilliantly conducted by David Newman. Since this very special event, James has actually been turning his creativity towards the concert hall. While still scoring films, he has also composed a Double Concerto for violin and cello called "Pas de Deux" (2014) and a new concerto for four horns and orchestra called "Collage." This was a new frontier he was only starting to explore. And films still held limitless challenges. So full of loss and sadness.
BRIAN TYLER: So saddened by the loss of James Horner, an incredible inspiration and a brilliant composer. I just can't believe it.
BRIAN TYLER II: So saddened by the loss of James Horner, an incredible inspiration and a brilliant composer. It is impossible to put into words his impact. Today the world is much less musical and joyful place.
BENJAMIN WALLFISCH: This is just unbearably sad. James Horner was truly one of the greats. Iconic, stunning music. Our thoughts are with his loved ones.
DIANE WARREN: RIP James Horner. Thank U for the beautiful music. We will miss what beautiful music was yet to come
EDWIN WENDLER: To say that his passing is a tremendous loss for the film music community would be a gross understatement. Beyond that, I have no clue what to say. I am speechless and shocked.
DEBBIE WISEMAN: So sad to read the shocking news about composer James Horner this morning - such a tragic loss of a hugely talented man.
CHRIS WONG: I have a lot of friends who are Trekkies, though not all of you are film music people. Hopefully most of my Trekkie friends will recognize the name James Horner, who passed away today suddenly from a plane crash. You will certainly remember this music from what is probably the best Star Trek movie ever made, composed by a brilliant 28 year old Horner getting his big break in Hollywood. RIP James Horner.
EVAN RACHEL WOOD: I still listen to 'The land before time' soundtrack on set when I need a good cry. Big part of my childhood. #RIPJamesHorner |
