"Many of us can associate soundtracks with the performers on them, but not with the composers. ... The London Symphony Orchestra and the Moscow Symphony were mentioned, but composer James Horner was not mentioned even though he composed the music for three favorite soundtracks: Legends of the Fall (1994), Braveheart (1995), and Titanic (1997)."

A handful of composers account for the soundtracks of almost all of the great and popular films of the last 60 or 70 years. And a lot of the bad ones, as well. James Horner composed for good ones.
