Those first six you mentioned - THE WATCHER (1978), THE DROUGHT (1978), FANTASY (1978), GIST AND EVANS (1978), JUST FOR LAUGH (1978) and LANDSCAPE (1978) - were all student films made by student-directors at the American Film Institute, and which Horner wrote while teaching at the University of Southern California. That title A GIFT OF A THISTLE was, I believe, the subtitle of the original "Making of" documentary about the making of Braveheart, and just recycles music from that score. Also, I've seen THE STONE BOY, and the only music in the film are the opening and closing credits. The rest of the movie has no score. It's very sparse, just solo violin and solo guitar, if memory serves.

I suspected as much. I'll remove it. Also, I've seen THE STONE BOY, and the only music in the film are the opening and closing credits. The rest of the movie has no score. It's very sparse, just solo violin and solo guitar, if memory serves. But it still has a score, and it's unreleased, so I'll keep it in. Thanks for the info!

I saw "Deadly Blessing" and found it noteworthy for its early use of the lovely pastoral melody he later reused in "Something Wicked This Way Comes."

LIVING IN THE AGE OF AIRPLANES (2015, documentary) is expected to be released on cd and along with the blu ray release of the film in fall this year. Great to know! We'll keep it on the list untill then. I must admit I'm a bit confused about all these flight and airplane things that Horner did in recent years. But that's the film that features the "Four Horseman" thing, right? No, LIVING IN THE AGE OF AIRPLANES is a documentary (or hagiography might be a more accurate description) about "how the airplane has changed the world." It is narrated by Harrison Ford. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3915966/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1 As far as the Horsemen go, and as far as I understand it, Horner wrote music to be used at the aeronautic displays of the stunt flight team The Horseman, and this music was released in a package with two music videos (for two pieces he wrote, one 12 mins and one 4 mins) anda short featurette about Horner's relationship with the team called "Write Your Soul". But the music wasn't written for the featurette, rather the featurette is about the music he wrote for the team.
