James Horner, film composer, dies
A renowned film music composer whose early sci-fi works put him on the map, James Horner dies at the age of 61 in the crash of his private plane. After his early genre efforts for sci-fi and horror films produced by Roger Corman, Horner took on the daunting task of succeeding Jerry Goldsmith as the composer of the Star Trek film franchise at the age of 28 with Star Trek II: The Wrath Of Khan (in which he also had a very brief on-screen cameo). Other major films followed: Krull, Aliens, Cocoon, Star Trek III, The Land Before Time, The Rocketeer, Apollo 13, Braveheart, Titanic, and Avatar, among many others. Mr. Horner was 61 at the time of his death.

Soundtrack specialty label La-La Land Records releases a 4-CD box set containing selections of soundtrack music from all seven seasons of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, including variations on the series’ Emmy-winning main theme and several popular fan-requested pieces of music from the show’s seven year history, including a “lost album” assembled in 2000 but never released.
Soundtrack specialty label La-La Land Records releases a comprehensive 15-CD box set containing every note of music ever recorded for the three original seasons of Star Trek, a music collection long thought to be an impossibility due to decades of rumors of lost and damaged tapes. Over a year of work on restoration, remixing and remastering reveals that all of the show’s music – even tapes that, by musicians’ union regulations, should have been destroyed in the 1960s – still exists and can be licensed and released.
Soundtrack specialty label Intrada releases a fourth volume of Stu Phillips’ episode soundtracks from the TV Series Battlestar Galactica. The complete scores from the two-part episodes The Living Legend and War Of The Gods are included. The label also announces that this is its final classic Galactica music release.
