Did anyone also like "Treebeard?" I thought the oboe part was perfect for the kind of dark but peaceful mood of Fangorn. It almost seemed like it was true classical and not from a movie at all. Howard Shore did really well!<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> It's actually a Hardangerfela <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>I thought it sounded a wee bit unusual! Violins don't have that sweeter tone to them. I love Hardanger fiddles; I'm going to have to learn to play one someday.<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> Does anyone else who plays an instrument try to figure out how to play these songs?<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> <P>Yep! I can play the Rohan theme on my violin too; it's quite simple, but it's beautiful all the same. The great thing is, my orchestra teacher is a fan of LotR too, so she's letting me and a few of my classmates do an ensemble featuring an arrangement of "In Dreams" from FotR! i'm so excited!<p>[ January 01, 2003: Message edited by: Ithaeliel ]
