Nice collage. Growing up in the 60’s, Barry’s music always intrigued me with his sense of style and coolness with the Bond films (”Goldfinger,” “Thunderball, YOLT, OHMSS, DAF) “The Ipcress File,” and “The Persuaders,” as well as his sense of pomp and majesty in the scores for “Mary, Queen of Scots” and “The LIon in Winter.” What always surprised me, though, was how his music always seemed to hit me emotionally in films like “Zulu,” “Somewhere in Time” and “Out of Africa,” which was simply exquisite. Yeah, I’d suddenly develop a cold or allergy as an excuse to explain moistening eyes. His music coupled with great cinematography saved an otherwise silly film in “Dances With Wolves.” His music was like the background theme of my life, and I’m sure I’m not the only one who feels that way. Another connection to my youth has passed on. He will be sorely missed. Requiescat in pace, John Barry.
