HYMN TO THE SEA (by James Horner: Titanic, Volume 1 movie soundtrack)

SUMMARY:                                         RUNNING TIME: 6:25 Min.

From Titanic’s first soundtrack, composer-conductor James Horner’s melancholic theme contributed to the album’s 1998 Academy Award win for Best Original Dramatic Score.    

Note: Segments of this downbeat melody resurface in the film’s “Southampton” and “Never An Absolution” tracks. 

REVIEW:

As much credit as Celine Dion merits for her Oscar-winning “My Heart Will Go On,” one may overlook that this James Horner nautical theme beautifully follows her love song.  Somewhat reminiscent of “Amazing Grace,” the well-synched combination of Horner’s instrumental expertise and a choral background makes for a top-caliber melody.  As an addition to any instrumental or movie tunes playlist, this exceptional track is well worth the download.
