Composer Howard Shore brings J.R.R.<br />
Tolkien’s literary imagination to vivid<br />
life with his academy®- and Grammy®<br />
award-winning score to The Lord of <strong>the</strong><br />
Rings: The Fellowship of <strong>the</strong> Ring. Shore’s<br />
<strong>music</strong> expresses Peter Jackson’s film as<br />
an immense symphonic work—a uniquely<br />
developed vision drawn from centuries of<br />
stylistic tendencies.<br />
The <strong>music</strong> of The Lord of <strong>the</strong> Rings is<br />
counted among film <strong>music</strong>’s most complex<br />
and comprehensive works. This unique<br />
performance sets <strong>the</strong> score to <strong>the</strong> film,<br />
but allows <strong>the</strong> <strong>music</strong> to bear <strong>the</strong> narrative<br />
weight, creating a wholly new and dramatic<br />
live concert experience.<br />
Shore’s score not only captures Fellowship’s<br />
sweeping emotion, thrilling vistas and<br />
grand journeys, but also echoes <strong>the</strong> very<br />
construction of Tolkien’s Middle-earth.<br />
Styles, instruments and performers<br />
collected from around <strong>the</strong> world provide<br />
each of Tolkien’s cultures with a unique<br />
<strong>music</strong>al imprint. In operatic fashion, <strong>the</strong>se<br />
<strong>music</strong>al worlds co-mingle, sometimes<br />
combining forces for a culminated power,<br />
o<strong>the</strong>r times violently clashing…and always<br />
bending to <strong>the</strong> will of <strong>the</strong> one Ring and its<br />
own ominous family of <strong>the</strong>mes.<br />
"My first score for<br />
The Lord of <strong>the</strong> Rings<br />
trilogy, The Fellowship<br />
of <strong>the</strong> Ring, was<br />
<strong>the</strong> beginning of<br />
my journey into <strong>the</strong><br />
world of Tolkien and<br />
I will always hold a<br />
special fondness for<br />
<strong>the</strong> <strong>music</strong> and <strong>the</strong><br />
experience."<br />
