# TITLE: The Fellowship of the Ring piano/vocals/chords
# MUSICIANS/COMPOSER: Howard Shore
# GENRE: Music from the Soundtracks (that should be Tolkien related enought right? [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img])
# INSTRUMENTS music is written for: Various
# REVIEW: I believe that these books are well worth the money. There are several songs I don't play because either I can't play them or because they don't appeal to me (listening and playing I have found are quite different). But that is just me. The songs I do not like are Aniron (Theme for Arwen and Aragorn because of the difficult key and rhythm; and The Phrophecy because of the many chords and accidentals (it doesn't seem to have a tune to me). My favourites are May it Be (this does include the words; and In Dreams also with words.
# DO YOU RECOMMEND IT? Yes I do. It's great probably for a late beginner to intermediate piano player and for anyone who wants to sing them. The ones with Elvish also have the elvish language and tranlsation. You can also play it with flute and violin of course. The chords are included above the staff.
# PRICE YOU PAID I don't remember, but I don't think it was more than twenty dollars.
# WHERE YOU BOUGHT IT At a music store. The new books didn't come in until the movies had hit the cheap seats about April or May -- maybe March.

Song Titles:

Aniron (Theme for Aragorn and Arwen)
The Prophecy
Many Meetings
Lament for Gandalf
In Dreams
May it Be

# TITLE: The Two Towers piano/vocals/chords)
# MUSICIANS/COMPOSER: Howard Shore
# GENRE: TTT soundtrack
# INSTRUMENTS Piano voice, various
# REVIEW: Pretty much the same as FotR. Two of the songs are very repetetive and tedious to play (" Isengard Unleashed and Forth Eorlingas") but all in all it is very good. My favourites are "Gollum's Song" and "Evenstar". Again, the songs are a matter of taste. I think they have a nice selection of all the themes and songs in the movies.
# DO YOU RECOMMEND IT? Yes I do.
# PRICE YOU PAID Again I don't remember it.
# WHERE YOU BOUGHT IT Same place I bought FotR [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] At a music store whose name I don't remember.

Song Titles:
Gollum's Song
Evenstar
Isengard Unleashed
Breath of Life
Forth Eorlingas
Rohan

Edit: I'm sorry, I don't know how to do that fancy square thing...
