I understand your point, but I took the liberty of comparing the movie, soundtrack, and sheet music versions and found them to be all in the same key signature. There aren't multiple editions considering the easy key signature the movie version is in. I'm not trying to trick anyone here ...but seeing how no one seems to be getting this, I'll give the answer. The key has one sharp, indicating G major, but it begins and ends on a minor triad, which tells us that it has to be in a minor key, so it is in the key of E MINOR! (c'mon guys, relative minor, three half-steps down...)

Oh yeah, new question. What singer is featured in the song "Breath of Life"?

Ms. Sheila Chandra, I believe.

You are indeed correct.

*pokes symestreem*

Meep!!!
 

OK, OK, that was a justified poke. The Killer Rabbit will remain in his cage.

Lesse... when Gandalf's wagon was traveling over the bridge in Hobbiton, what instrument was used in that part of the score but later removed?

[size=2]Um...was it the Norwegian Fiddle?

[/size]

Nope. The Norwegian fiddle was used in the Two Towers.

Ooops, I mean the regular fiddle AKA the violin.

Nope. It can be found in "The Making of the Movie Trilogy.", in the score section.

The musette? (French accordion)

Just the regular accordian, actually. Go ahead.

(This'll test you.)

What NZ war chant did the Uruk-Hai stuntees do between takes of Helm's Deep?
(Hint: It's on the Special Extended 2 Towers. "Warriors of the 3rd Age" or something like that.)

Something about turning off the rain tower?

Nope. It's a title.

But I'm gonna change the question because it doesn't have that much to do with the music. Should I just do that?

Maori haka?

Oh..no need.Yup. You got it right . The Maori Haka. :p

I want to buy a Norwegian Hardinger Fiddle. Where can I get one?

What is the first instrument heard on "The King of the Golden Hall" and "Evenstar"? (It's not the same one.) Second part is a trick question!

Sorry, This is not a quiz question...=) I'm looking for a hardanger Fiddle. Does anybody know where I can get a Hardanger Fiddle, or a better place to look for one?

Thanks!

Welcome to the Downs, the half-elven. :)

Since this forum is for Quiz Games, we tend to avoid general discussion here. You'd probably be better off raising your question on one of the threads dealing with the film scores in the Movies forum.

Why not try this one: Lord of the Rings Soundtracks: Discuss

Now, back to the game ...

Sorry About that...

Is it Frenchhorn and then voice (Isabel Bayakdarian)?

I'm not sure if it's a French horn. "Horn" and "voice" was what I was looking for. Take the thread, and welcome to the Downs!

Okay, When is the Minas Tirith theme first introduced?

When Gandalf visits in the first movie?

Um, you mean in the Shire?...No. Try again.

At Rivendell in the 1st movie?

So close, but can you be more precise?

When Boromir talks of his father, the steward of Gondor, during the Council Meeting?

You got it, Symestreem! Take the floor.

It was a lucky guess, really
 

I'm going to give the thread to Lindir. I just piggypacked off of his (correct) answer, and I feel guilty about that. Lindir, the thread is yours!!

OH! That's so nice! :p

OK: What instrument did was used for one of Gollum's themes, and was also used in The Shire?

He/she's stumped us precious, yes indeed...

Wait! Could it be... the cimbalon?

Sounds like a foreign pastry... ;)

nope. but that does sound like a pastry...im hungry. :p
