LOS ANGELES (AP) — From the swelling-sea songs of "Titanic" to the space symphonies of "Apollo 13" to the bagpipes of "Braveheart," James Horner's singular sound graced some of the biggest moments in the history of movies. It showed in the two Oscars he won and the 10 he was nominated for, and in the status of the Hollywood luminaries who were mourning his death in a California plane crash. Agents Michael Gorfaine and Sam Schwartz issued a statement Tuesday saying Horner was the pilot killed in the single-engine plane that crashed in a remote area about 100 miles northwest of Los Angeles, although official confirmation could take several days while the Ventura County coroner works to identify the remains. People who fueled the plane at an airport in Camarillo confirmed that it was Horner who had taken off in the aircraft Monday morning, said Horner's attorney, Jay Cooper. James Cameron, who directed "Titanic," the 1997 best picture that earned Horner his two Oscars, used terms from another of his Horner collaborations, "Avatar," to describe the composer's work. "James' music was the air under the banshees' wings, the ancient song of the forest," Cameron said in a joint statement with producing partner Jon Landau.Read more on NewsOK.com
