This is just awful. I feel terrible. I literally just out Searching For Bobby Fisher in iTunes and listened to Aliens the other day.

A tragic loss of one of those gifted composers whose music has filled me with joy and melancholy and spirited hope.

Finding it difficult to express myself. This man's music has meant so much to me for most of my life. Despite the frequent criticisms of his "borrowings," there can be no denying that his music worked dramatically. His melodies had a way of reaching deep within your soul and making you weep or scream or soar. Land Before Time, Krull, Braveheart, Aliens, Wrath of Khan, Glory, Legends of the Fall, Willow, Brainstorm, and, perhaps my personal favorite, The Rocketeer... The list goes on and on. The real kicker is that he could have gone on composing for another twenty years or more.
He will be sorely missed.

What sad news, James was always one of my favourite composers, Glory, Land Before Time, Legends of the Fall, Titanic, Avatar etc are among'st the most played soundtracks in my collection. He was an extremely gifted individual, and his loss will be greatly felt by a lot of people.

It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to than I have ever known.

Very saddened to hear this news. Two of the first film score CD's I ever bought were GNP Crescendo's Star Trek II and III. I played them endlessly back in the early nineties. Then I discovered "Krull", "Rocketeer" and many many more.
My thoughts and prayers go out to his family at this time.
RIP Maestro, thank you for the music you made that lives far beyond the movies they were made for.
