Remembering James Horner

Since I learned of his passing I haven't been able to stop thinking about James Horner and all the amazing work he did, specifically on Avatar. I've always loved the soundtrack but now when I listen it's speaks to me even deeper than before. It's an odd array of feelings when someone passes away whom you've never physically met yet they've touched your life. I am thankful for all the amazing music James left us, what better way to carry on than through that? 

I have been reading some great things about him and wanted to share some of them with everyone.

James Horner passed away today in a plane crash

It's with the heaviest of hearts that I report this news. All the facts are not in but so far what seems to be known is James was piloting his personal plane, an S312 Tucano, when it crashed 60 miles North of Santa Barbara California. His long time assistant Sylvia Patrycja confirmed that it was in fact Mr. Horner who was piloting the aircraft. The cause of the crash is unknown at this time.

My heart and my prayers go out to his wife Sarah, and the two daughters he leaves behind. He leaves behind so much amazing music that we will be able to enjoy for many years to come.

Thank you Mr. Horner for the amazing soundtrack you created for Avatar. Something I'll never forget is listening to it this past February while my baby was born. I even took a screen shot so I would never forget the exact time she came into this world.
