One of the greats. Seriously, I loved many of his scores.
Unfortunately, someone put godawful lyrics to Lara's Theme.
Love the score to A PASSAGE TO INDIA.

A French musicians guild says Oscar-winning film composer Maurice
Jarre has died at the age of 84.
Jarre is best known for writing the haunting song "Lara's Theme"
from the film "Doctor Zhivago."
SACEM head Bernard Miyet cites Jarre's family Monday as saying the
composer died in his California villa.
Jarre penned dozens of scores for some of Hollywood's most prominent
directors.
He won Oscars for his music for "Doctor Zhivago," "Lawrence of
Arabia," and "Passage to India," and was nominated for an additional
six Academy Awards.
Jarre was born in 1924 in Lyon, France, and studied music at the
Conservatoire de Paris before starting his career composing scores
for theatrical productions. He has lived in the U.S. For decades.
