Oh jeez...

The Titanic soundtrack is already poignant; it's going to sound even sadder to me now. RIP.

Very sorry to hear about it. One of the very best Hollywood film composers together with John Williams and Danny Elfman. From memory didn't he win the the Academy award for his score for " Dances with Wolves".
