Everyone always says "Howard Shore didn't have to go that hard for the LOTR soundtrack" but no one ever talks about the soundtrack for The Hobbit! Are you kidding! It's amazing! It's beautiful! It brings tears to my eyes! It's so good!

it utterly fucks me up that in the movies when frodo finishes writing the red book, the music that plays is the starting notes of the breaking of the fellowship

An incomplete list of movies where the composers did NOT have to go that hard

How To Train Your Dragon (2010) - I put Test Drive on my study playlist but I can never focus to it bc I'm too busy ascending. what is that motif and why does it do that to me. I've never even seen the movie.

Tarzan (1999) - nothing has ever affected me more than 80s pop star Phil Collins singing about a boy raised by gorillas

Lord of the Rings (2001-2003) - no explanation needed.

let me know which ones I missed lol

Thoughts on "The Destruction of the Ring" (featured in "The End of All Things" on the Return of the King sountrack), sung in Sindarin by Renee Flemming.

I found myself wondering what on Middle-Earth was being sung in elvish when Gollum reclaims the Ring in Mount Doom; the music is hauntingly beautiful.

This part. (Lookit my boy, I love him. He be like <:D)

I've been researching this for quite a while. You can find the supposed lyrics and translation online, but I've come to realize that it's not entirely accurate, so I'm struggling a little bit (I'm not a linguist, here, and I struggle just comprehending English words in music without looking at the lyrics, nevermind Sindarin).

But this is what the lyrics are/translation is said to be:

Mi naurath Orodruin (Into the fires of Orodruin) Boe hedi i Vin (The One must be cast) Han i vangad i moe ben bango (This is the price that must be paid) Sin eriol natha tûr în úgarnen (Only thus its power will be undone) Sin eriol um beleg úgannen (Only thus a great evil unmade) Ú cilith 'war (There is no other choice) Ú men 'war (There is no other way) Boe vin mebi (One of you must take it) Boe vin bango (One of you must pay)

But as I'm watching the scene and listening to the soundtrack, it's not in this order at all. And not only that, but some of the Sindarin words don't sound correct -- I was looking through the Sindarin dictionary, and some of these words aren't even IN it. Probably just misspellings. But, based on what I was able to translate myself using the dictionary, it does seem to be at least close enough to what's shown above. (For example, Mi naurath Orodruin seems actually to be Mi naur nautha, which basically means "Into the fires from whence it came/was conceived", so it amounts to the same thing but the word Orodruin was not actually used.)

Anyway, this part of the song begins when Frodo decides to keep the Ring (though the lyrics might be misspelled/slightly incorrect, I'll still use them)...

Sin eriol natha tur in ugarnen (Only thus its power will be undone)

When Gollum gets it back: Sin eriol um beleg úgannen (Only thus a great evil unmade)

Ú cilith 'war (There is no other choice)

Boe vin mebi (One of you must take it)

Boe vin bango (One of you must pay)

And that's about what I could make out that definitely seemed to match. And it's quite sad. Poor Sméagol.

I do like, though, that it says "ONE of you", as if it could have gone either way.

It was 20 years ago today :: A few Very Much Expected Parties :: The Return of the King cast and creatives hit the post-Oscars party circuit, with stops at the Governor's Ball, the Vanity Fair party, and New Line Cinema's own celebration (a post on the The One Party still to come). Joining the celebrating and celebrated for the parties were beloved trilogy actors Lawrence Makoare, Bruce Hopkins, Jed Brophy, Sala Baker, Andy Serkis, and executive producer Mark Ordesky.

it's something I didn't notice consciously before reading it in the LOTR soundtrack book by Doug Adams, but Howard Shore's music really does have this constant breathing-like quality, it goes up and down, up and down, there and back again All The Time. now I look for it every time I listen to various fragments of the soundtrack and it's always somewhere there

#brought to you by: we're in the middle of a 5 hour drive and I'm listening to LOTR soundtrack #i just think this soundtrack's neat :')#lotr soundtrack #howard shore #doug adams #it's mine my own my precious

Today was absolutely terrible, but I also rediscovered how much of a game-changer it is having the Hobbit soundtrack on in the background while completing mundane tasks. Scrubbed the kitchen floor to Howard Shore’s “An Unexpected Party” this evening.
