Although The Might undoubtedly refers to the Shore scores when he refers to "the" LotR soundtrack, I can't resist calling people's further attention to the unjustly forgotten score by Leonard Rosenman for Bakshi' LotR. It's certainly very different from Shore's work and I suppose some will object to it as a bit old-fashioned, but personally I consider it an "awesome LotR soundtrack" as well.
Don't get me wrong, though - I do love Shore's LotR. While I wouldn't go as far as giving up Beethoven for them, I must say that the track "The White Tree" from RotK ranks right up there with some of the masterpieces of the past few centuries for me. |

Yes, I was indeed talking about Shore's soundtrack.

I have started some threads like this in the past - I love the music of the trilogy so much. I listen to the score on a regular basis. I, too, connect with these songs not only because they remind me of the movie and the characters, but I feel a deep spiritual connection with these songs, and many of them have the overwhelming power to cheer me up in the worst of moods. I also feel that these scores echo to the heart of the book - the real deal. Real stuff.
Being a lover of music years before the score, I'm sure enhanced my appreciation of the music. I would like to add my own praise to classical music - the feelings I have felt while listening to certain pieces by various masters (and I include the trilogy soundtrack in there) are so deep and powerful, that I probably haven't felt them with any other music, save The Beatles. Hits a heartchord. Music, music, music...I love you!!!

The Boromirion Rhapsody (by the Morthoron Snipe and Griping Choir) Is this a Wraith's knife, In this, my fantasy? Caradhras landslides Are my escape from reality. Sauron's one eye Looks down from on high And sees -- N.Z. Gollum just killed a friend, Put his fingers 'round his throat After he fell out of the boat. Gollum's birthday's just begun, But now the ring has made him gone astray. Gollum -- O-o-o-o-o-o In Mount Doom your gonna fry, Unless The Hobbit is released this time tomorrow, You'll be gone, you'll be gone -- Because scripting really matters. Hugo, your time has come, Put back on that silly wig While Peter Jackson does a jig. Goodbye to John Noble and Sir Ian Holm, By now your just too old to make the show. Bilbo -- O-o-o-o-o-o It just can't be McAvoy, Perhaps they will decide on Martin Freeman, But we don't know -- we don't know, Because scripting really matters. I see the Shire full of Thorins's trusty dwarves No more Liv, no more Liv -- we can do without Arwen! McKellan will be Gandalf, Rhys-Davies' wants no part of Gimli! O Guillermo, O Guillermo O Guillermo, O Guillermo -- O Guillermo script the show! Script the sh-o-o-o-w! But Bilbo's in Limbo, no one has cast him -- N'gila! please start designing clothes -- Sew some clothes! N'gila! please start designing clothes -- Sew some clothes! N'gila! please start designing clothes -- Sew some clothes! Will you sew some clothes, please go design some clothes! Oh let her sew - sew - sew - sew - sew - sew! Otho 'n' Lobelia, Otho 'n' Lobelia, Otho 'n' Lobelia need some roles! Morgoth Bauglir has a goblin put aside for me, for me, for me-e-e-e-e! So you think I'd forget about Elves at Helms Deep, Or Denethor's fiery mile run from his keep? Oh Peter, can't do this to me Peter -- Edit it out, edit out of the film! Scripting really matters, Someone make Phillipa see -- Scripting really matters, Scripting really matters to me... I hope The Hobbit won't blow. (G-O-N-G)
