	Dinosaur (Soundtrack) by James Newton Howard
		Howard continues to demonstrate his diverse composing talents as two of his other recent works, Snow Falling on Cedars, and The Sixth Sense, bare very little resemblance to Dinosaur.
		Howard’s score is marked with all of the things that make for a winning score in the minds of most film music fans: Powerful, full, orchestra; deep and wondrous vocals; driving percussions; simple yet beautiful melodies.
		When I heard James Newton Howard's music in the trailer for Dinosaur I knew we were in for a treat.

	Filmtracks: James Newton Howard
		Lingering close to the forefront of film score stardom, James Newton Howard's body of work during the 1990's is as diverse as any composer in Hollywood.
		With a grandmother who performed the violin with the Pittsburgh Symphony, Howard began lessons on the piano that would eventually culminate in a classical education at Santa Barbara's Music Academy of the West (with Reginald Stewart and Leon Fleischer) and at the USC School of Music.
		Seeking a lucrative career with his talents, Howard expanded his name for publicity purposes to include the full James Newton Howard, partly because it sounded more distinguished and partly because there was already a James Howard in the industry (which causes problems when registering with a professional guild).

	Dreamcatcher (Soundtrack) by James Newton Howard
		James Newton Howard has become today’s neo-Bernard Herrmann, composing successful horror and suspense scores, most notably for the films of M. Night Shayamalan (The Sixth Sense, Unbreakable, Signs).
		Howard’s Signs, with its amazingly complex string orchestrations, was one of the highlights of 2002.
		Despite Howard’s raw talent and successful history with this film genre, his score to Dreamcatcher fails to reach the level of his previous work.

	CanMag- James Newton Howard's Kong
		Howard began recording Oct. 29, about two weeks after he was hired, and utilized six orchestrators and three conductors in order to record the necessary 15-20 minutes a day to finish on time.
		Howard's longtime music editor Jim Weidman flew to New Zealand to help coordinate music efforts on-site; a live video hook-up enabled Jackson to comment on each cue as it was recorded.
		But observers agree that the Howard score, although being written and recorded on a breakneck schedule of less than six weeks (he had about the same time to rush through a score for "Waterworld" in 1995 and that was only two hours of music), is alternately thrilling and tender.

	Vertical Limit - James Newton Howard (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Howard's fairly robust main theme makes its first appearance in Three Years Later and functions as a broad, vaguely Goldsmithian fanfare to the mountains that gave the splendid aerial montages just the right mixture of grandeur and slight impending doom.
		Howard plays the heroic moments for all they're worth with a few licks that suggest his much more impressive Dinosaur, with percussion and choir thrown in just for good measure.
		Howard is definitely on something of a roll; he just needs to bear in mind all the dud films that Jerry Goldsmith has scored before he becomes too good at scoring bad films.

		Howard's score begins with and focuses upon a repeating, almost staccato motif which is quite sinister at times and yet becomes benign it not triumphant.
		Howard has done this in other film scores where he holds back the full expression of a theme until he feels the time is right.
		James Newton Howard's score for "Signs" is one of the best of a year that has already produced some very memorable pieces.

		I was as shocked as anyone to hear that Howard "lord of the rings" Shore had been replaced by James Newton Howard to compose King Kong.
		James Newton Howard was given only 5 weeks to write nearly 2 1/2 hours of score for King Kong.
		Howard uses a similarly diverse selection of sounds and instruments as Howard Shore uses, and the score in places feels very Shore-esque, so it's hard to know why Shore was ejected from the projet.

	King Kong by James Newton Howard
		James Newton Howard has pulled off a brilliant score, as brilliant as the director will tell this story.
		Howard uses a full orchestra to achieve moments of darkness, mystery, comedy, drama, enlightenment, and of course beautiful love.
		I am invigorated by this score because since Waterwold, I have always believed Howard to be one of the gretest action composers of all time.

		The surgery in 1987 also had an after-effect on John's voice, and he found that he could no longer sing in falsetto as well as he previously could, and that he now sang in a lower range.
		During an interview with James Lipton, John had claimed to embrace this new tone, feeling it gave a more "masculine" quality that contrasted with his earlier work.
		The change in Elton John's voice has been largely played down, though Elton, commenting fifteen years after the surgery, stated that he was "singing better than ever." Studio effects were evidently added to his voice on his first UK #1 Hit "Sacrifice" (1990).

		I have come to expect great things from James Newton Howard, as he possesses a true gift of being able to infuse so much character, emotion into each film that he composes for.
		In some ways similar to Howard's score for 'Signs', which also used repeated rhythms and themes throughout in different ways, the music for 'The Village' differs from the standard "scary movie" score by having pieces which establish a real emotional depth and presence.
		James Newton Howard's newest project "The Village" is a testimony to everything that makes him a great film composer.
