This is sad news no matter the outcome, even more so if he was on board. We're losing scored music in films to flavor of the month groups and he's one of the last holdouts.

Most people think of Titanic, for me it's the Main Title to Battle Beyond the Stars. Awesome theme!!

I always think of The Rocketeer when it comes to his scores.

I do hope he wasn't the pilot, and turns up OK.

For me, my favorite is Wrath of Khan. I know he "borrowed" from other composers, and recycled a number of musical ideas in his soundtracks, but I still enjoyed his work greatly, and hope to continue doing so.

]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.

So sad. Braveheart stands out as a highlight to me.

RIP. Some great film scores over the years.

Damn.
I know he had gotten into aviation again and had written music for flight teams.
A big part of the movie magic I grew up with.

Re: James Horner missing in plane crash

Extremely sad to hear about his death..... he composed some of the greatest music in the film industry. Glory, The Rocketeer, Aliens, Apollo 13 and Titanic have been some of my favorite soundtracks. His talents will be greatly missed.
