Let's make this birthday one to remember.

67 years old (Born on May 26, 1958)

Happy birthday, Howard! May your day be as uplifting and timeless as "Eternal Light: A Requiem," but perhaps with slightly fewer angelic choirs interrupting dessert. Your melodies fill stages, screens, hearts—and sometimes heads at inconvenient hours—with beautiful musical dreams (The Dreaming indeed!).

Thank you for composing so many incredible scores; every note is masterfully placed to evoke drama or laughter precisely when needed—which is more than we can say about most of our daily conversations. Here's wishing that this year brings even greater success—perhaps a new hit piece that we'll still hum long past bedtime. Happy Birthday!
