I'm listening to Casper's Lullaby and it's absolutely heart-wrenching. Few composers could capture sadness and mourning as well as Horner.
However, my all time favourite piece by him is probably Whsipering Wind, from The Land Before Time. It's so sad it kills me.
Last shout out goes to A New World, from the Jumanji soundtrack. Another great piece that's very tender and sad.
Horner was a fantastic composer and I'd like to know which scores resonated more with movie fans.

I like when he went through that phase of trying to make steel drums + saxophones happen in 48 Hours and Commando.
The Great Migration from Land Before Time is also amazing, especially the part where [Littlefoot is born](https://youtu.be/kJg3GP4tH94?feature=shared) in the movie.
Also, Glory needs a mention.
The Mask of Zorro.
Krull from 1983 is rarely mentioned and absolutely amazing. [The music is almost breaking its back carrying the movie.](https://youtu.be/NutPaKP0LXA?si=lQOqR7c9aO0cd5O5&t=120s)
