In Memoriam: Maurice Jarre

Today we remember Maurice Jarre, the talented and “Oscar-winning French composer of music scores” for films like Doctor Zhivago, Lawrence of Arabia, and Ghost. Jarre passed away at age 84, after a battle with cancer. Jarre was known as “Hollywood’s most decorated composer,” after having written over 150 scores for a wide spectrum of films, from romances to thrillers.
Quincy had this to say about Maurice: “This is not only the loss of a dear and cherished friend, but also one of the most unique film composers of our time. He had a very special connection to the essence of each film and I’ll really miss him.”
Our sympathy and best wishes go out to his family and friends.
