Favourite soundtrack song?

[Meriadoc1961]

This is very tough for me to answer. I really like Enya, so her songs are going to be at or near the top. I also find Gollum's Song to be haunting and moving. But I don't know if it is even there because I do not have the sound track, but i just love the elves singing as they are passing through the shire and when the Fellowship is in Lothlorien and they elves are mourning the fall of Mithrandil.

I also believe Billy Boyd gave an excellent performance.

It's the elvish singing part in FotR for me, The Passing of the Elves I think it's called. I always thought, while reading the book before the movies, that the song A Elbereth Gilthoniel is a sad but terribly beautiful song, with the Elves' choir-like voices and harps and stuff. Not violins or pianos like the other classics, but something like Gregorian chant but with female voices included.

I think you mean Flight to the Ford or more likely The Council of Elrond

No, I believe she's referring to a part of the Soundtrack that is seen in the extended version. Do you have the complete recordings, Lindale? And are you talking about the music that takes place in the part where Sam and Frodo whilst traveling through the Shire see the elves leaving? It is indee very beautiful.

Folwren, you are right, I believe. That is so lovely and moving, as well as the singing of the elves in Lorien. I could easily get lost in that, if it was played longer...so moving!

I have to pop in, because I am currently listening to Helm's Deep - it's really a nice one. I don't know what's happening with me, but I spent this evening listening to a strange mix of CDs I haven't listened to for a long time (if you saw the mix...). I have Helm's Deep on a self-made CD with a choice of different songs (from LotR there is also The Uruk-hai and The Ride of the Rohirrim). I liked also the theme of Isengard in the movies, and the theme of the Black Riders as well.

Terrible. I actually just commended something from the movies. But really, for me the music was one of the best things on the movies (and certainly the best thing on TT) and it went well together with the movie. But let it be clear that it's not the Middle-Earth that I live in, so even the music does not belong in there.

Really? Not even the singing of the elves? Or for that matter, Bag End and Hobbiton?
