My appreciation of Horner's work was more for his simpler passages than for his rousing action passages. Horner had a way of giving the little moments just the right kick. My favorite is his score for Searching For Bobby Fischer, especially that gentle passage while Bruce Pandolfini (Ben Kingsley) is showing Josh the Master Chess Certificate. That little passage, to me, was the mark of the true magic in Horner's work.
