艺人资料

詹姆斯·霍纳于70年代末期转入电影界,为美国电影学院及柔格·克曼的新世界电影公司出品的一些低成本恐怖片或科幻片配乐。

在80年代末期开始崭露头角,1986年他为《异形2》配乐,并获次年奥斯卡最佳原创配乐提名。

1989年,Horner因一片荣获葛莱美大奖,而先前詹姆斯.霍纳为动画片《美国鼠谭》谱写的歌曲《出门在外》(Somewhere Out There)不仅使他获得奥斯卡和金球奖提名,更是勇夺该年度葛莱美“最佳歌曲”和“最佳电影插曲”双料大奖,从而詹姆斯.霍纳一举成名。

詹姆斯·霍纳在1990年代进入了黄金时期。

1994年的《燃情岁月》真正为霍纳奠定了在好莱坞乃至世界的大师地位。接着,又出演《勇敢的心》《鬼马小精灵》《阿波罗13号》等影片从1995年起,他又以《燃情岁月》、《勇敢的心》、《阿波罗13号》等一系列风格迥异的电影配乐建立其创作领域的霸主地位。

1997年的《泰坦尼克号》主题曲《我心永恒》让霍纳声名鹊起,一举摘得第70届奥斯卡最佳原创配乐和最佳原创歌曲两项大奖,并囊括了第41届格莱美年度歌曲、年度录音、最佳流行女歌手等四项大奖。1998年《泰坦尼克号》电影原声带在美国销售了近1000万张,全世界销量达到2700万张,创下传奇数字。

他近几年的作品是在法国导演让-雅克·阿诺(Jean-Jacques Annaud)执导的二战史诗巨片《决战中的较量》(Enemy At The Gates)中担任配乐工作,大师詹姆斯·霍纳为影片制作了多首乐曲、合唱曲,这些带有地域性和时代特色的乐曲成功地为影片情节的发展进行了铺垫。

2009年,筹备多年的《阿凡达》开拍,卡梅隆再次找到霍纳,原本《阿凡达》的续集均计划由霍纳担任配乐。

2015年6月22日9点(美国时间),电影配乐大师詹姆斯·霍纳的私人飞机坠毁,作为飞行员的霍纳在事故中遇难,享年61岁。

创作风格

对于电影音乐创作,霍纳有几个特别的概念,首先,他认为作曲家象画家一样,音乐只是作曲家的调色盘,音乐曲调,乐器类别,和表现格局都是这个调色盘上的颜色而已,作曲家要让画作呈现什么色彩,就会选择最适当颜料上画,素雅或缤纷,黑白或彩色,往往只在一念之间。

他认为面对古典交响乐和电影音乐的创作选择,他会选择交响乐,理由很简单,作曲家可以被电影画面感动得一把鼻涕一把眼泪,可是回到键盘上作曲的时候,根本不可以天马行空去发挥,必须紧紧盯着电影画面,数着秒针和底片格数,清清楚楚地计算出音乐的起承转合。而且,电影导演留给音乐发挥的空间通常不过三五分钟而已,音乐气势才要蕴酿上扬,马上就得草草结束,实在不过瘾。

霍纳指出,电影配乐家的角色就是以前古典音乐世界里的宫廷乐师。宫廷乐师的功能就是创作和演出曲子娱乐主子,电影配乐师根本没有自主权,音乐写得再好,导演不喜欢,就得改写,更惨的状况就是立刻被换掉,一点尊严也没有,只能把自己当成为五斗米折腰的乐师,任人使唤。

James Roy Hornerwas an American composer, conductor and orchestrator of film scores. He was known for the integration of choral and electronic elements in many of his film scores, and for his frequent use of motifs associated with Celtic music.

His first major film score was for the 1979 film The Lady in Red, but did not establish himself as a mainstream composer until he worked on the 1982 film Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.Horner's score for Titanic is the best-selling orchestral film soundtrack of all time,with his work on Titanic and Avatar, both directed by James Cameron, contributing to the first two films to achieve a $2 billion box office.

Horner collaborated on multiple projects with directors including Don Bluth, James Cameron, Joe Johnston, Walter Hill and Ron Howard; producers including David Kirschner, Jon Landau, Brian Grazer and Steven Spielberg; and songwriters including Will Jennings, Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil. Horner composed music for over 100 films; he won two Academy Awards, two Golden Globe Awards, three Satellite Awards, and three Saturn Awards, and was nominated for three British Academy Film Awards.

Horner died in a single-fatality crash of his Embraer EMB 312 Tucano turboprop aircraft at the age of 61.

In 2014, Horner composed the commission piece Pas de Deux, a double concerto for violin and cello, which was premiered on November 12, 2014, by Mari and Håkon Samuelsen with the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Vasily Petrenko. The work was commissioned to mark the 175th season of the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic.Horner also composed Collage, a concerto for four horns, which premiered on March 27, 2015, at the Royal Festival Hall in London by the London Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Jaime Martín, with David Pyatt, John Ryan, James Thatcher and Richard Watkins as soloists.

At the time of his death, Horner had two films he had scored but had yet to be released: Southpaw, a boxing drama film directed by Antoine Fuqua and starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Rachel McAdams, which he composed for free due to a love of the film and The 33, from director Patricia Riggen. In July 2015, a month after his death, it was discovered that Horner already had written the score for the upcoming 2016 remake of The Magnificent Seven, and had planned for it to be a surprise.

Horner's scores have been sampled in trailers for other films. The climax of the track Bishop's Countdown from his score for Aliens ranks fifth in the most commonly used soundtrack cues for film trailers.
