    Sad news, rest in peace.
  1. The only film composer who has truly come back from the dead to have a glorious second phase in his career.

    RIP. Glorious melodies and endless meandering progressions you've left behind.

    I already talked about him in the RIP topic, so all I have left for this thread is this:

    It´s John Barry Day, everyone.

    Very sorry to hear that. Everyone knows I was not his biggest fan, but there's absolutely no denying his position in film music history, and when he got it on in a given theme, he really got it on. I guess this was kinda expected, especially for those who attended the Barry concert in Ghent last year. He was not able to come himself and had to send a video message instead. Still, it's always a shock when one of the cornerstones of our small niche leaves this mortal coil.

    RIP, Mr. Barry.
    I am extremely serious.

    Haven't heard from Timmer yet. Guess he's either off-line or taking in the news.

  2. Some very fine words from David Arnold on the death of John Barry:

    My first John Barry score was Goldfinger. A lot of pleasure from a wonderful composer
    listen to more classical music!
  3. Though we still have some fine composers working today, and Barry certain did nothing in a long time, it feels like film scoring as I know it, died today.

    And how aweful just shy of Valentine's Day -- his wife is still alive, right?

    Thanks for this bud. Seeing the man conducting is something I've never had the pleasure of.

    I think I saw his name on the list of people visiting the site but I'm sure that things are too raw for him to comment at the moment.

    Very sad news. He was one of the true legends of film music.

    R.I.P.
  9. Just finished listening to my favourite tracks from my John Barry scores - a few minutes over 5 hours of music. Started off with You Only Live Twice and finished off with Hanover Street. And enjoyed every single minute of it.

    Mercury Rising and Body Heat were new to me today and fit nicely in with the rest of my favourites and I had forgotten how good Four In The Morning is.

    Thank you, Mr. Barry. You're memory will live on in your music.

    Start with the John Barry 4CD set from Silva... if you don't have it already. An excellent introduction to the man's work.

    R.I.P. John.

    NP: AGNUS DEI (The Scarlet Letter version)
    Although not Barry's composition, it's his arrangement, and it seems most appropriate.

    Love that cue, maybe even more than the strings version.

    Nothing inadequate about it at all James, heartfelt, profound and well written.

    I still don't know what to say yet, I know it sounds weird but it feels like I've just lost a very close friend or member of my family, I'm truly gutted.
