"Without music, life itself would be an error. The Germans imagine even God singing songs."

- Friedrich Neitzsche

 

James' highlighted quote in the Fall Film & TV Music issue of the Hollywood Reporter

"Whether a film is of a secular or sacred nature, the composer is there to support the film. If you... are shoehorning in Christian music to fit the message, then you're making editorial rather than artistic decisions."

 

James working with the London Symphony for his score on "Left Behind."

"James Covell is a very creative composer. His outstanding work spans many genres and has grown in excellence year after year. Several years ago, I asked him to compose a musical soundscape for one of the most difficult dramatic television series that I have ever confronted. His compositions and presentation were wonderful. I would recommend him highly to anyone in need of top-drawer professional talent." Coleman Luck, Writer/Executive Producer
