MUSIC FROM THE LORD OF THE RINGS TRILOGY

Product Information

Howard Shore's score for Peter Jackson's the Lord of the Ring Motion Picture Trilogy I have always felt to be one of the best and most iconic film scores of the 21st Century. The music he wrote for The Fellowship of the Ring was performed by the London Philharmonic Orchestra, with contributions by the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra, the London Voices and the London Oratory School Schola. Bear McCreary, known for his incomparable world-building and use of innovative musical approaches in the worlds of television, film, and video games, will guide audiences through the major events of the Second Age of Middle-earth, as seen in the forthcoming series. Although it isn't the complete recordings, this is a pretty nice way of getting the Fellowship of the Ring. The optical disc count increases by one too, so instead of three CDs and a blu-ray you now get four CDs and a blu-ray.

This exquisite 3xLP set features the majestic performances by The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra, beautifully capturing the epic melodies composed by Howard Shore.

Shore uses an elaborate leitmotif technique (where musical themes are associated with specific characters or ideas, and are developed across the entire series) to hold the sprawling tale together.
