    One of his best pieces of work second to Titanic. “Casper’s lullaby” in my opinion is the most beautiful piece of film score music to ever exist. A highly underrated soundtrack with a beautiful melody that often gets overlooked or overshadowed for his other later high profile works.

      I may disagree slightly but I can’t argue with you, Marilyns Theme might rival it

      Yes, I sadly try to imagine how the years would take his already brilliant skills to another level, how many significant messagens he was and would continue to be capable of communicating. Really a great loss.

    A magical and beautiful score. A few years ago, i never think that i was going to be surprised that James Horner created the score for the film. Although he is gone, his work will be remain as a great influence in our lives.

    La La Land Records has officially released James Horner’s “Casper” score on 2 CDs. It’s both an expanded and remastered soundtrack. It’s a limited run.
    I always loved this score, one of my top favorites. RIP James

    While Horner definitely took influence from Sergei Prokofiev's "Peter and the Wolf," for Casper's Lullaby, his score to the film was still amazing, full of emotion.

    I think I weep for the loss of James almost once or twice a week. The void left in his absence can never truly be filled. I mourn not just the loss of the great man but for all of the unwritten & unrecorded magik we all won't get to hear.. But I am greatful that we have the wealth of his music to cherish in that absence..
    With all of the ugliness in the world it just stings so much more when a beautiful flame that illuminated the world flickers out.
    We miss you James. The world shines less in your absence but we keep a piece of you in our hearts.

    • @boskostudios
      @boskostudios  Před 2 měsíci

      @melissawickersham9912 as a horner fan, I'll shoot straight... it was a bullshit affectation he adopted at the outset of his career. More of a mid-atlantic accent. Elmer Bernstein had a similar affectation. Both are charming and harmless in my opinion. Mostly done for respect and to sound intellectual.

      He was born in Los Angeles, but he grew up in London.

    • @boskostudios
      @boskostudios  Před měsícem

      @irishandproud7119 his years in London were short. Again, the accent was both an intellectual character affectation and potentially a symptom of Asperger's, which, according to his wife and friends, he was strongly suspected to have. Pretty cool and amusing stuff.
