Avatarded, a HUGE HUGE thank you from one of Horner's longest and most devoted followers. Thanks so much for bringing this to our attention. It was neat to learn a few new facts about Horner, that he likes flying and Mustangs.
I have to admit, this is THE making of scoring segment that should set the precedent for all others to follow. If ALL making of scoring segments were like this, WOW.
Whoever put this together, my hat's off to you and your team, wonderful wonderful job. After watching this, I felt sad that so many making of the music segments on DVD are so boring and so short, a shot of the composer conducting, shot of him talking for a bit, then the director talking, then it's over.
I hope this tune makes an appearance someone, like itunes.
Again, thank you Avartarded for bringing this to our attention!

Extremely interesting video. The music itself is vintage Horner, and sans rip-offs, so we've got the best of both worlds. Wasn't in love with the main theme at first, but it definitely grew on me, and by the end, when we hear the big rousing brass statement of it (similar to the end of Bernstein's "Make Our Garden Grow" from Candide), I was hooked. I'd love to hear the rest of the music, because that piano stuff that he was talking about was not, I believe, in this video, and it sounded extremely interesting.
It's funny, a piece like this reminds me of Roar! by Giacchino, which everyone went crazy about a couple years ago. It's not the greatest piece the composer's ever written by any means, but there is a certain freedom to it that seems to really rally the film scoring community in support of it, which is strange because the very music we love does not really have that freedom. I think it does show a change in times (perhaps also what Horner talks about regarding directors, etc. in the video) where we almost yearn for free music that perhaps still tells a story but is linked only loosely to it, because that's the only place where we can hear these composers write the broad melodies and wonderful textures that got us involved in film music in the first place.
The highest praise I can give the piece is that it kind of sounded to me like a Michael Kamen concert piece (not in composition style, as it's clearly Horner, but in the way he goes about constructing it, and in its rousing, major-key sentiment).
