My Heart Will Go On
Free audio download on SoundCloud.
I recently heard a super minimal version of My Heart Will Go On played with two cellos. I believe the duo's name was literally 2CELLOS. It was beautiful and I wanted to create a subtle and minimal guitar version too.
Composer, James Horner, was such a tragic loss to film music. His wiki resume is unreal: Legends of the Fall, Braveheart, Titanic, A Beautiful Mind, Apocalypto, The Perfect Storm, The Devil's Own, Apollo 13, Glory, and so on. If you're around my age (mid-40's) James Horner sound-tracked many pivotal movies of your adolescence.
To me, Horner specialized in the "Celtic" motif. I love the way his music plays out on guitar. I incorporate little trills to mimic the Celtic whistles.
