Biography
Born in Beirut, Lebanon, his work in France included the scores for Betty Blue and Camille Claudel. He later began working with American film directors, winning an Oscar for his score for The English Patient and a nomination for The Talented Mr. Ripley and Cold Mountain.
In 2004, Yared’s score to the movie Troy, with a song by Tanja Tzarovska, was rejected due to the poor reception it received in a test screening. It was replaced with one by James Horner.
Biography:
At the age of 7, his father sent Yared to an accordion teacher. Two years later he stopped his accordion lessons and started music theory and piano lessons. His piano teacher thought that he had no future in music.
Although he was not a natural pianist, he was interested in reading music.
At the age of 14, Yared’s piano teacher died, so he was to replace his teacher as the organist at Saint Joseph University. During this time, Yared used the University library to read all the work of Bach, Schumann, and many others. This extensive reading inspired his first original composition, a piano waltz.
Yared completed a degree in Law. His formal musical education only began when he travelled to France in 1969, and attended the École Normale de Musique de Paris as a non-registered student. There he learned the rules of music composition from Henri Dutilleux.

Indeed, the replacement of Yared's masterpiece with Horner's last minute score was scandalous.

His soundtrack for Troy should be released; I just managed to get it a few days ago... no words, just a flawless score.

radko: Yeah, all thanks to a small group of people saying it feels too overdone or something, which prompted the director to turn to James Horner because we all know it'll be OK then. /sarcasm Gabriel Yared was pretty pissed off about it because he put so much effort and time into it.

It's unbelievable that Petersen rejected Yared's "Troy" soundtrack. What a shame!
