In my opinion, the greatest composer in the history of film. No disrespect to Zimmer or Bernard Herrmann. James captured the emotion of what was on-screen better than anyone.

A Musical Genius he was, Truly. He took all these great movies he scored, to a whole new level with his music... RIP James Horner. You will live on through your enchanting music

What a magical soundtrack. All my worries disappear when I listen to it. Especially this year. Whew!

I think James Horner is the best film composer of all time. His feeling and understanding of the film makes them come alive. Turning the sound down during the movie puts his great work in perspective..

I really miss this guy. One of the Best film composers to come around.

The score to Field of Dreams is one of the greatest ever composed. It is a crime and a shame he did not win an Oscar.

“Hauntingly melancholy” is how I would describe the score to Field of Dreams. It stays with you long after the credits have rolled. In not having an overproduced, complicated soundtrack, James allowed to space/“breathing room” to allow you to interpret and free-associate your own emotions onto each scene.

That last scene without Horner score would never be as memorable or emotional. Should've won an oscar

The brilliant soundtrack to this memorable movie, is surely one of the most hauntingly beautiful and emotionally moving pieces of music, ever written and recorded in cinematic history. I believe this is James Horner's masterpiece.

James Horner was may favorite movie composer, but not only because of his fantastic music. He also had a great personality. Rest in Peace.

The drive back home melody WAS all my childhood drives back home - EXACTLY - to the note, each note. You were in my mind since the 70s

Nice inside look at one of the greatest scores ever made.

Wow! At 3:38 I get chills and goosebumps listening to the "Irish theme" that James Horner composed for Ray Kinsella and the theme of Ray and Terrance Mann en route to Iowa. It's so emotional that I get emotional. And, yet, I love how Phil Alden Robinson summed up the second theme, that it's not any one emotion, but it's whatever you read into it at that moment. It doesn't tell the audience what to think, but it allows them to bring their own emotion into it. That's the power of GREAT music!

10:03 "it would have been a disaster if something had happened to me." :( god, i can't believe he's gone...and under such tragic circumstances. truly a one-of-a-kind composer. RIP James.

A fantastic interview! It's nice to see a director being so trusting of his composer. Too often, I've worked with directors who tend to mirco-manage.

This man...is a genius. 5:10 does it for me...simply amazing.

Did James have perfect pitch and a photo memory? RIP genius

I am currently writing a book and I'm using this soundtrack to set the tone. Its so inspiring

I can only say that magic is magic whether it wins an award or not. This movie is a mystical journey, beginning to end. James Horner gets it just right......perfection!

I could've listened to them speak about this for hours and hours. Thank you for posting! What an incredibly beautiful score, and to hear how it all came about makes it that much more special.

Another music legend who died, well before his time, because of a plane crash. If I had my way, they’d never leave the ground and live to be 100. But at least he knew that he was loved & left us with hundreds of incredible compositions. And those great works will live on forever.

A great talent no longer with us . . . rest in peace James! Thank you for your creations.

Fantastic just fantastic! Rest easy Mr Horner!

I hear the Legends of the Fall theme which James would compose 6 yeras later. He must have been similarly moved emotionally. What a musical gift he had. Tragic that he left this world so soon.

@jslasher1- Horner is American! He was born in L.A. and went to school in Britain for most of his childhood, hence his sort of mixed American/British-accent.

Incredible score. My favorite of all time.

R.I.P. James Horner

Thank you so much for posting this. One of my favorite film scores of all time.

I absolutely love this discussion. Thanks for sharing this, Andy!

The perfect pairing of music and story, magical; genius!

I love hearing about how music is made, it is so magical 🎉

Such a sweet and soft soul he had.

What a humble guy Horner was....and probably my favorite movie composer of all time (Zimmer, Goldsmith and Conti are all close seconds). But no one could capture emotion of a scene like Horner! He was the GOAT in my opinion.

James Horner. You are sorely missed. RIP.

Wow. Absolutely brilliant.

Just in case anybody is interested, La-La Land Records are now selling an expanded 2-CD limited edition of the Field of Dreams score.

At the 4:58 mark the theme there was to me one which still haunts me to this day.

He should have won the Academy Award that year. Little Mermaid was good, but Field of Dreams is one of my all-time favourite scores/themes.

Speaking of Irish theme: The Titanic. Great score. If Horner was not known for anything else, what a score.

Talent never fades

I've always felt the story of this movie is a bit far fetched but the music sells it. And as great as the cast and movie is, this soundtrack carries this movie on its back. It may be the most remarkable and legendary soundtrack in all of cinema imo.

Thanks for uploading, a hidden gem that many FoD fans haven't seen. Be well Andrew.

Thanks for uploading

masterful composer for movie music

What a gift!

I miss you... James Horner...

James still IS the best. 😊

I can't hear this music without tearing up.

RIP James, you are a huge inspiration for me to compose my own music

I'm not a sports fan at all, and I still laughed at Horner's "50-yard line" remark.

11:22 he just *perfectly* described how I feel when I'm trying to write music

RIP. You are truly missed.

This was great.

I miss him greatly

I have always said that Horner is a great composer, didn't know he was a comedian.

My favorite movie soundtrack of all time.

Horner is a genius….magical.

I love that chord at 3:21.5

Rest in peace great man

Tristeza por la muerte de James Horner qepd por siempre permanecerá en los corazones de muchos 💗💖💓

Alas, the major league baseball Field of Dreams game in Iowa (August 2021) was an over-the-top success that included many snippets of the James Horner movie score -- that were uncredited or acknowledged by any of the talking heads even though Horner's ethereal music was a major part of the film's success. This 12-minute interview of Horner explains his critical choices of scoring and instrumentation, and emphasizes the tragedy of his death in 2015 at the age of 61 (when a private plane he was flying crashed). His music, particularly in Field of Dreams, was star-dust.

No score?? He was operating on another level?? Beautiful music. As with all great films, FofD's being in my top 5, it is the music that makes it. Thank you Mr Horner, you left and amazing legacy. RIP.

5:10 always does it for me. James was the best film composer

SUPREME!!!!!

Jeez, I cried just thinking about it...

I miss him so much. Taken from us too soon. What a devestating loss.

There is truly no God when this man can be taken from us so early in his life and career. I don't know how composers do it, how they find such beauty and genius from inside themselves.

Miss you James. :( RIP

0:28 - the veins in my wrist opened up almost by themselves...

4:55 I remember that music being played :)

Where did you get this from?

dont miss him, he is here:D Really big Joker still:D

I'd love to know what the temp score was.

No encuentro a nadie en este mundo que lo iguale al menos.

3:25😍

how?

BUUUUUUUUUULLSHIT!!!!!! I LOOOOOOVE his Spiderman music....it's wonderful. he brought more to that than u usually do for a superhero movie.

Nowadays the Zimmers took over. Everything sounds the same.

Casts a spell

Yet his score for Spider man was wayy sub-par

Hmmm....no British accent in this video haha

Wholesale borrowing of Aaron Copland's 'Americana' style of diatonic music. Horner was beyond contempt.

Didn't James Horner write a sequel to My heart will go on about his plane crash titled My plane won't go on.

Best OST and best film ever
