ahhhhhhhhh, no. it is not in G MAJOR or G MINOR!!!! But you are relatively close...

As a musician, I would say that key signatures of sound tracks make for problematic questions - it is very likely that a piece will be printed in a different key signature than it is played on the CD, and it may even be released in several different versions, possibly in different keys, depending on the relative difficulty of the piece. Either we keep guessing until we chance to get it right, or you might just want to give us the answer for which you are looking and post a question that has a more definite answer...

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"?

symestreem · 04-09-2004, 07:50 PM

Ms. Sheila Chandra, I believe.

Mithisilien · 04-09-2004, 10:00 PM

You are indeed correct.

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

symestreem · 04-29-2004, 08:13 PM

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!

The half-elven · 04-29-2004, 08:16 PM

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)?
