The Royal Scottish National Orchestra (RSNO) has announced the release of newly discovered score by Academy Award-winning film composer James Horner (Titanic, Avatar, Braveheart, A Beautiful Mind, Aliens, Apollo 13, Field of Dreams, Legends of the Fall), more than ten years after his tragic death. Originally written for aerobatic flight display, Skyward Spirit was rediscovered by Horner’s flying teammate Ed Shipley before it was orchestrated and arranged by the composer’s long-standing engineer and good friend Simon Rhodes last year. Recorded by the RSNO in Scotland’s Studio, conducted by Robert Ziegler, the score will be released this Friday, September 4 on all major streaming platforms following its premiere at the International Ayr Show earlier that day.
