New James Horner Music
Well this is an exciting surprise—the Royal Scottish National Orchestra is debuting a “new” piece by the late James Horner, “Skyward Spirit,” which was discovered in his archives and brought to life by his longtime collaborator, Simon Rhodes.
Their video is NOT the full piece, alas, but the story behind it.
Very excited for this!
The discovery of an unreleased James Horner piece is a great example of how much valuable music can remain hidden in archives for years before finding its way to an audience. For directors and composers, exploring music from different periods and creative traditions can be a useful source of ideas when building the atmosphere and emotional direction of a film. That’s why curated music collections can be so useful when looking for fresh inspiration for a score or soundtrack.
