James Roy Horner (born August 14, 1953) is an award winning American composer, orchestrator and conductor of orchestral and film music. He is noted for the integration of choral and electronic elements in many of his film scores, and for frequent use of celtic musical elements.
In a career that spans over three decades, Horner has composed several of Hollywood’s most famous film scores. He is probably best known for his critically acclaimed works on the 1997 film Titanic, which remains today the second best selling film soundtrack of all time. Other popular works include Braveheart, Apollo 13, The Mask of Zorro, and The Legend of Zorro.
Horner is a two time Academy Award winner, and has received a total of 11 nominations. He has won numerous other awards, including the Golden Globe Award and the Grammy Award.
Horner began his career by working for B-movie director and producer Roger Corman. His works steadily gained notice in Hollywood, which led him to take on larger projects. Horner made a breakthrough in 1982, when he had the chance to score Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, establishing himself as a mainstream composer. Horner continued composing music for high-profile releases in the 1980s, including Krull (1983), Cocoon (1985), Aliens (1986, earning his first Academy Award nomination), Willow (1988), Glory and Field of Dreams (both 1989).
Throughout the 1980s and early 1990s, Horner also displayed a talent for writing orchestral scores for children’s films (particularly those produced by Amblin Entertainment), with credits for An American Tail (1986), The Land Before Time (1988), An American Tail: Fievel Goes West (1991), We’re Back! A Dinosaur’s Story (1993), Casper, and Balto (both 1995).

ptitebelette, I agree with some of your alternate Horner scores. Willow and The Land Before Time are considered by ALL Horner fans to be among the best scores of his entire career - and Krull is simply amazing with its power and grandiosity. I would also recommend Cocoon and Honey, I Shrunk The Kids.
