Re: Music of the LOTR Movie
Don't hurt me, but I think Hans Zimmer could handle this soundtrack. He'd be great with the battle scenes, and he is capable of the more ethereal stuff for the softer moods.

Re: Music of the LOTR Movie
I think that the best music for the movie would have to be Orchestral, Celtic and also some metal type music, it just goes so well in fight scenes and action scenes in movies.

Re: Music of the LOTR Movie
Well, I really like Zimmer's Gladiator soundtrack, especially the battle music, so he could probably handle LotR.

Re: Music of the LOTR Movie
I LOVED Hans Zimmer's Gladiator score. Something along those lines would be great for LOTR. However, that was really a one-in-a-million for him... The Lion King is his only other really great score... but if he can pull something off as great as what he did for Gladiator, that would be wonderful.

Re: Music of the LOTR Movie
I like Zimmer's stuff but like it's been said he is kinda risky.

Re: Music of the LOTR Movie
Though I love John William's work I used to think he was wrong for this movie. Well, tonight my opinion was changed. I was watching Evening at Pops and he was conducting. The program was mostly his own compositions.
"Notes on the Evening at Pops Selections by Steven Ledbetter ANGELA'S ASHES John Williams (b.1932) When John Williams was creating the score for Alan Parker's screen adaptation of Frank McCourt's best-selling memoir, Angela's Ashes, he decided not to use traditional Irish or Celtic melodies as the basis of his composition; rather, he would let them serve as inspiration for his own original music. Although the finished product has Celtic influences, these are woven into an eloquent and sweeping score that captures the compelling and poignant beauty of the story." From pbs.org As beautifull as his Angela's Ashes score is it wasn't the best part. They played an excerpt from his score for "Far and Away", which has some incredible Celtic sounds in it. It reminded me how versatile a composer he is, and I now think Williams would be perfect for LOTR. |

metal
now that a few people have already mentioned this, i think i can bring this up without fearign for my life...
metallica, when they're being balladic, can sound VERY middle-earthy - esp. their obscure melodic stuff. "unforgiven II" always reminds me of aragorn & arwen. but metal just wouldn't work for them, as beautiful & sad a song as that is. right now i can't think of anything that would fit them. aryne * |

Re: metal / soundtrack music
I think that liz fraser of the cocteau twins should be given singing duties for galadriel [and God forboid if they have arwen/xena break into anything other than a warcry[ although she could prob. handle it well.
As for the music proper I would see a combnination of braveheart and windham hii type music [thinking esp. of remedios by william ackerman and some of the violin and mandolin of anger marshall - and garden by ackerman and the chronos quart. |

re: music
since no one else has so far, I will mention that on Enya's album Shepherd Moons, there is a song(well, actually, a piece of music) that is called Lothlorien. Has an unearthly sort of feel to it.

Re: re: music
The one song that sounds really Middle-earthly from Metallica is Call of Cthulu (From Ride the lightning). Go get the Mp3 and close your eyes while listening to this.
I always imagine a combat between an almost froze-to-death-by-the-winter Dunedan and a huge troll. The combat is epic and the man dies with the troll at the end... Well... I have a lot of imagination but, hey everybody, just do it, you won't regret |

Music
If you want a brilliant song for the LOTR movie, you would have to have Smack my bitch up by The Prodigy, perfect for a fight scene, heh heh

Re: Music
i've just heard a rumor about the music of the film: Howard Shore could be the composser. i regret i do not know what is the source of this rumor.
some of the scorings by Shore: High Fidelty Dogma The Game The Wonders Big Mrs. Doubtfire Philadelphia Seven Ed Wood The Silence of the Lambs i think it´d be a good new if confimed. |

Re: Music
i think the song i was talking about was "lothlorien" - i heard it most recently in mp3 form & for some bizarre reason it had a description-thing instead of a title as its title (if that makes sense). Call of Ktulu would make excellent fight-the-orcs music. and prodigy would be good if used properly - as in the battle at Helm's Deep.

Music from the books
I think it's a shame they didn't put "The lay of Nimrodel" in the film. It's a lovely song.
