,” Ron Howard’s dramatization of the “successful failure” mission to the moon in 1970, doubled as a touching tribute to the film’s late composer, James Horner. The American Youth Symphony performed Horner’s entire score, live to picture, at UCLA’s Royce Hall on Saturday.
Even Horner’s business manager and attorney were at the event, and his wife laughingly recalled their mutual befuddlement with the composer. Trumpetist Nico Bejarano had the hardest job of the evening — Horner’s score prominently features the instrument with lyrical, Aaron Copland-like solos — and his playing was uniformly tender and strong. The young orchestra never fell out of sync with the film, and they goosed the feel-good launch and victorious climax sequences with goosebump-raising grandeur.
When Horner was a composing student himself, scratching out a living as a teacher’s assistant, prize money was all-important.
