While <I>Humanoids From the Deep</I> and <I>Battle Beyond the Stars</I> are fun and all, Horner soon went on to much bigger things -- the '80s found the composer to be a very hot commodity indeed. His scores to <I>Star Trek II: the Wrath of Khan</I> and <I>Aliens</I> were huge successes, showcasing his bombastic dramatic sense and epic, sweeping style. Recent years have brought <I>Braveheart</I> as well as his most well-known score to date, <I>Titanic</I>. Critics often bash him for his notorious tendency to borrow from past works, something he does more than even, perhaps, John Williams. Originality aside, however, Horner's music has a knack for keeping the audience teetering on the edge of their seats, and that's something no one can complain about. - Doug RussellOrchestral Scoresen720Fri, 27 Nov 2009 05:48:47 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.4192&rws=%2Fjames-horner%2Fmusic-videos.rss Academy Award-winning film composer began his career scoring Roger Corman's productions in the 1970s.
