Howard Shore's Lord of the Rings sountracks are easily the best movie soundtracks since Star Wars (I mean the original trilogy). This is a masterpiece. It combines beautiful, heart-rendering songs (particularly any of the Elves' themes) with great action/adventure scores (the Fellowship theme). The soundtrack has such emotional power that, even without seeing the scenes in the movie, you can just feel what's going to happen.      The Fellowship of the Ring of course …

A soundtrack is usually an album that has all the vocal music to a movie, with perhaps an instrumental or two and maybe a few lines of dialogue.

Howard Shore had a virtually impossible task. How DOES one go about composing a score for a movie based on a book beloved by hundreds of millions of people over the last half-century? Inevitably, some will approve, and some won't. Does the music match the story as the reader can imagine it? If so, the reader is likely to approve! If not, then the reader is likely to disapprove.This reader (text 20 times) and viewer (movie 3 times) feels that Shore did his job well. I can play the music (as I am …

Music is critically important in films where the world is magical and based in fantasy. Music helps create these worlds, and Howard Shore's Lord of the Rings score is so evocative that I can see Middle-Earth as it plays. The music is breathtaking, and I can't fathom how much it will add to the drama of the film. Although it waxes the Hollywood's conventional strings-and-percussion arrangements a bit, Shore diversifies with magnificent, gothic choirs and a very "dark" feel. Sometimes the compositions …
