This was such a wonderful window inside the man who made some of the most beautiful scores I've heard. No one did romantic themes like Horner. His studio is so evocative, such fascination with movement and color. Many thanks to his wife for sharing this.
You could make a museum out of it after all. I would make a pilgrimage there. In Europe, they would have made a tourist attraction out of it long ago, see Beethoven's birthplace in Bonn or Berggasse in Vienna, where Sigmund Freud lived etc.
As someone who wants to always keep the "magical child" alive within me, James Horner's music really moved/moves me... both when I was a child, and now to this day. I have had so many amazing emotional experiences because of the music that he created. I am grateful that he shared himself with the world in that way; his music has enriched my life in immeasurable ways. I remember feeling sad when I found out that he passed, but I also realized when that happened that his ability to write pieces like 'Jake's First Flight' from Avatar and 'Southampton' from Titanic were directly tied to his understanding of the feeling of flying. He died doing something that I feel intuitively gave him great inspiration and joy. As James Cameron has said (paraphrasing), "in any endeavor in which innovation is required, failure is an option, fear isn't."
James Horner was an artist, a composer an arranger. He knew music. What worked and what didn't. He called himself a pencil for hire but he was so much more. Music especially his film scores were the emotional underpinnings of the films he worked on. His music affects us physically and emotionally as it surrounds us...contemplative, soothing, exciting, saddening, angering, soaring joyful bliss then returning us to a sense of normalcy only to find our feet aren't quite touching the ground because his magic has elevated us above all the little things that distract us from feeling our most powerful emotions and the wonder they produce. As long as James Horner is remembered his creations will live on and that will be forever.....
2:24 Most emotional moment for me as James Horner who himself played(The Potrait of Titanic) first motivated me to play piano in my life🥺🥺 I feel he is still playing piano😭
If this is what James Horner's studio looks like, just imagine what Danny Elfman's studio looks like! But seriously, this completely recontextualizes James Horner's music for me. Thank you for posting this.
Horner certainly made his mark and earned his place in the pantheon of great modern composers. He is in that group with Morricone, Williams, Goldsmith, Zimmer, and Silvestri. and so on. Film music was never the same for me after Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. To this day that is one of the most evocative, emotionally intense scores I can recall. When James Horner passed, I was truly devastated. There would be no more of this kind of beautiful work. Not like his.
This is so thoughtful of you to share James’ studio with us, with you and Emily in it. I often wonder how all of you have been doing without him. This video came as a surprise and I am relieved. I am among millions of his biggest fans, still mourning for the loss of his gentle presence and his beautiful creation. If you do decide to make a museum of his collections, I definitely will visit and pay my respect. May him rest in peace. 👍👍👍👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
hmmm, this is like a trip around an artisan craft market with my ex and pretending its not silly, i was so excited for this video suggestion. this was not the studio tour i expected lol
Well, I thought the score is the part of the film, besides the woke POV, before WOKE had become a huge thing in 2005, that has aged the worst. I wish that Hans Zimmer had been available. Or a Max Steiner or Bernard Hermann or Erick Wolfgang Korrnfeld or Herb Stothardt or any of the composers of really Wagner-sequel composers....
When his daughter says "He was a weirdo! He was an artist.... He was magic."
I'm in tears
I can honestly say, James Horner is my favorite composer period. Nobody can invoke emotion in a film like James did. We miss you maestro.
He gave SOUL to the movies.
I miss you maestro horner
what a talent, what a genius, what a loss...RIP
My name is James Horner as well. I was named after the Titanic Composer James Horner. So yes I’m named after a famous person.
Pure fantasy❤❤❤

i love his personality
What a magical place - I’m so grateful to his family for sharing this, and for James to have inspired me so much ❤

I love all his paraphernalia: may he rest in peace.
Extremely sad and yet wonderfully delightful at the same time. A James Horner that we never knew.
Thanks for sharing this. His music just tells a story. No other composer like him! Rest easy🙌🏼
Is my favorite composer with joe hisaishi and vangelis, with only two notes he could make you cry
It was so sad as he was such a wonderful composer!

James horner was the best composer music film 🎥 of all the time rip maestro you are truly talented intelligent 🧐 you are truly missed 😢
Would've never guessed such a shy, calm and soft spoken gentleman to have such an extravagant and bizarre studio.
Tragic loss. 😔 What a magical, beautiful studio.
❤ What a fascinating man and such a gifted musician and composer. His scrores are magic.
What an amazing tribute to Horner
