It appears that legendary film composer James Horner has died in a plane crash.

Although the above article does not make it clear, I am currently reading on twitter that sources are beginning to confirm Horner has indeed perished in the crash. Still, it's worth hoping for the best until the news is officially confirmed.

I had issues with much of his work in that I found his repetition frustrating and I often made jokes about it, but on his game Horner ranked among the very best. He is responsible for several of my favourite scores (Glory, Braveheart, Aliens, Commando) and he is another filmmaker whose work I grew up with. Much of my childhood played out to a soundtrack mix of Williams, Goldsmith and Horner. I'm completely taken aback by this news.

Shocking, my fave composer of all time will be sorely missed. Horner's Wrath of Khan, Search for Spock and Krull are the most played soundtracks in my collection. I clearly remember the first time I heard his work, the main title of Battle Beyond the Stars back 1980, and was totally hooked.

RIP genius.

Wow. This is just horrible. My heart and thoughts go out to James' family and friends in this difficult time. I don't know if it's just me but it certainly seems that a lot of prolific members of the film community are dying this year.

Very sad news. Been meaning to pick up the Braveheart soundtrack for years, probably one of the best scores to any movie ever.

RIP.
