James Roy Horner is an American composer, and the writer behind scores for movies like Avatar, Braveheart, Apollo 13, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, Glory, The Mask of Zorro, The Legend of Zorro, Enemy at the Gates, The Missing, Star Trek III: The Search for Spock, A Beautiful Mind, The Perfect Storm just to mention a few.
And he did the score for Willow (1988), which I personally think is great - especially the theme of Elora Danan. I wouldn't hesitate for one moment to equal it to John Williams Star Wars Score (which of course still gives me the thrill every time I hear it) - It really is that good.
Take a good moment and listen to it - maybe even make yourself a good cuppa before listening. I'm not pulling your leg when I tell you, you can literally see the whole movie unfold right in front of you - just by listening with your eyes closed.
Written by James Horner and performed by the London Symphony Orchestra.
