James Horner（詹姆斯·霍纳）

1976级 艺术硕士 奥斯卡最佳编曲奖

他成功证明了电影的决定性特征不仅只是演员

詹姆斯·霍纳是一名作曲家、协奏家和指挥家，他在交响乐方面的名声就如同他在好莱坞的名气。霍纳在UCLA进修硕士学位。他的导师是Paul Chihara，林林总总之中，他发现了在这里，有些事就像古典音乐一样很早就存在、十分神圣，但却意外地没有任何规章制度。而这就是他管弦乐的风格，该风格以吸收了合唱、凯尔特式和电子元素为名。霍纳在UCLA教授音乐理论，中间为导演有詹姆斯·卡梅隆，梅尔·吉布森和朗·霍华特的上百部电影配乐。《泰坦尼克》至今都是销量最好的管弦乐原声音乐。他曾10次提名奥斯卡奖，成功抱回两座小金人。

James Horner

MFA 1976

He proved that a film's defining character isn't always an actor.

Composer, orchestrator and conductor, James Horner is equally famous in the symphony house as he is in Hollywood. Horner came to UCLA to earn his master’s. Studying under Paul Chihara, among others, he found an environment where even something as established and hallowed as classical music wasn’t confined to set rules. This is evident in his orchestral style today, which is famous for incorporating choral, Celtic and electronic elements. Horner stayed at UCLA to teach music theory and went on to score over 100 films for directors such as James Cameron, Mel Gibson and Ron Howard. Titanic still remains the best-selling orchestral soundtrack of all time. He has been nominated for 10 Academy Awards, taking home two.
