I will always remember what he said at the Oscars the year he won for "A Passage To India": Thank God 'Amadeus' wasn't up for this award.

Sad news. But at least we have some remarkable music to remember him by. Thanks, MJ, and Godspeed.

His score for Witness is one of my all time favorites. R.I.P. Mr. Jarre.

Sad news, he was one of the greats, loved his David Lean scores.

His music for Enemy Mine (1985) is a big favourite of mine.

R.I.P.
