Maurice Jarre 1924-2009

Film composer Jarre, most famous for his historical epic themes (he won 3 Oscars for David Lean films) died yesterday. RIP.

Pax tecum, maestro.

I just wanted to acknowledge that I saw this. What a filmography! Nominated for Academy Awards 8 times, and as you said, won 3 (for Lawrence of Arabia, Doctor Zhivago and A Passage To India.

Of course, I have a soft spot for this breezy little ditty he wrote for The Magician of Lublin.

Rest in Peace Mr. Jarre.
