"The Moldau" is in the classical channel, though not among the new additions or top ten (at least this week), but I never have much luck playing things from Web sites -- I locate it via Windows Media Player (there's a free download at the above site): just enter "classical" in the search bar, scroll down to ChoiceRadio.com in the selections that come up, and click "play."

I see the Moldau in a whole new light now... if you were suggesting it for LOTR music...
There's some really LOTR-esque music in the Babylon 5 movie "Thirdspace."

Yes, I was indeed suggesting it for the LoTR.
Sigh...so many soundtracks, so little time. I wonder if bmilder still has the music up -- I tried to go to the Geocities site mentioned in the first post here, but got the "this page doesn't exist" message. Of course, that was back in 1999. Clicking on the web site button in the Members listing just brought me to the Tolkien Trail page, and I wasn't sure how to proceed from there. Sure would like to hear them, if still available. ADDENDUM, 12/15/2002: I originally came to Entmoot directly (from a Google search for Tollkien sites) rather than through the Tolkien Trail, which I just explored yesterday. Silly me! What a wonderful site this all has developed into in three years. Congratulations, Ben and all others involved. Now, I'll just hie me over to Rivendell to listen to the music.

Well this may sound weird but Alien Ant Farms last song on their album Anthology reminds me of LotR 'cause I was reading the books and browsing LotR sites while listening to the song and everytime I hear the song it reminds me of LotR. Weird but true...

Welcome Andrew Baggins! and nice avatar. Looking at your signature, you might enjoy another thread called "LOTR rip-off" in the movie forum.
Anyway, there's a lot of groups out there that not only remind you of LOTR, but they actually write music about it! I suppose Blind Guardian has been mentioned already, and the Brobdingnagian Bards have a very Hobbitty LOTR theme. The Bards at MP3.com. http://artists.mp3s.com/artists/113/...ian_bards.html There's also Lothlorien dreamscape, who I don't like, but someone else might... http://artists.mp3s.com/artists/210/...reamscape.html

Great thread
Princess mononuke theme song by joe hisashi but especially The Legend of Ashitaka Theme by joe hisashi. The latter always reminded me of the first meeting of beren and luthien specifically and the lay of luthein on a whole. With it's floots and dramatic climax, reading that whole chapter in the sil it actually mentioned that Luthien was dancing to hidden floots. Very, very beautiful.
Actually, the whole princess mononuke soundtrack sounded like it should be the soundtrack of a silmarillion film.

Wow this thread is old. I remember a similar thread in the Entertainment Forum about Blind Guardian. Another old thread from the days when I first joined. I doubt this band has escaped many people on this forum at this point but Blind Guardian is a power metal band that sings a a lot about Middle Earth. There are songs scattered across many of their CDs such as . . .
"The Bard's Song 1 - Into the Forest" "The Bard's Song 2 - The Hobbit" "Lord of the Rings" "Gandalf the Magician" "By the Gates of Moria" They also have a concept album about the Silmarillion called "Nightfall in Middle Earth". This is the tracklist . . War of Wrath Into the Storm Lammoth Nightfall The Minstrel The Curse of Feanor Captured Blood Tears Mirror Mirror Face the Truth Noldor (Dead Winter Reigns) Battle of Sudden Flame Time Stands Still (at the Iron Hill) The Dark Elf Thorn The Eldar Nom the Wise When Sorrow Sang Out on the Water The Steadfast A Dark Passage The Final Chapter (thus ends...) There's another power metal band I like called Elvenking. While they don't usually make such direct references to Middle Earth like Blind Guardian does, they have an even folkier feel that usually reminds me of wood Elves. They use a lot of pipes and one singer's voice is kind of high piched (not girly high piched but just wierd enough).

Sweet!
For some inexplicable reason, Howard Shore's music reminds me of LOTR. I can't figure out why, though...

Led Zeppelin and Blind Guardian, of course, but has anyone ever heard of Ladies Godiva? Beautiful Irish and Scandanavian music. It simply captures the spirit of the regions, where so much of Tokien's work has it's beginnings.

Music that reminds me of LOTR...hmmm... There is a band that plays at the Rennfare in Texas (the big one) that is exellent. Trying to remember its name...Mukenizi? no. umm.. still thinking...... One minute. I'll go look. Anyway, they are really good. Their name is E Muzeki and I have all three of their cd's. One of their CD's is called Sindh. They remind me of Tolkein because of their celtic but mostly Gypsy style. They are really good though.

I suggest reading LotR while listening to Carl Nielsen's Third Symphony.

Sorry to bump an old post but! As I said in another post...
One of my favorite descriptive parts of LOTR is the Withywindle valley. There is a Pink Floyd song called "Grantchester Meadows" that I always think of while reading this part. Here are some lyrics... "In the lazy water meadow...I lay me down. All around me, golden sunflakes...settle on the ground. and later... See the splashing of the kingfisher flashing through the water. And a river of green, is sliding, unseen, beneath the trees. Laughing, as it passes, through the endless summer Making for the sea."

I enjoy Celtic harp music, and a lot of it reminds me of LOTR. Some of us here were in a great joint-writing/RPG thing, and I got a new album from one of my favorite Celtic harpists, and four of the pieces just hit me as "theme songs" for four of the characters. I still think of those characters when I hear those pieces.

Shostakovich, Symphony No. 5, 4th Movement = Ride of the Rohirrim.
This rendition by Leonard Bernstein is available on Youtube. You can imagine the initial cavalry assault, the attack by the Witch-king, the death of the Witch-king and the fall of Eowyn, the death of Theoden and the bewilderment of Merry, the renewed assault of Eomer, the hopeless situation of the Riders and the arrival of the Black Ships with Aragorn at their head. Shostakovich wrote Symphony No. 5 in 1945 in abject terror that Stalin would hate it and have him executed. It is almost as if the same Spirit that moved Tolkien moved Shostakovich as well: they could almost be telling the same tale. |

'Karelia Suite', performed by The Nice & the London Philharmonic Orchestra fits perfectly with the Ride of the Rohirrim.

How about something that sounds elvish?
The Play Of Daniel, written in France in the 13th century I think, is a favorite of mine. Particularly this recording and interpretation of such an old manuscript Ludus Danielis (The Play of Daniel) The Harp Consort (Performer) Andrew King (conductor) Here is a link to it at amazon http://www.amazon.com/Ludus-Danielis...2636446&sr=1-4 I put this music on and pretend I'm at Rivendell. To me the singing sounds very elvish. My nephew says that is because there are lots of tenors in the chorus and that tenors sound elvish. Unfortunately amazon removed the sound samples that used to be with the above link. I sorry to recommend something you cannot actually hear. Okay great! This link below has an article about the music and a least a short sample of the singing with ancient violins so you can get the idea of its elvish sound. http://www.bbc.co.uk/cambridgeshire/..._feature.shtml Last edited by Zilbanne : 09-28-2008 at 06:42 PM. |

The release of the movies must have caused some inspiration, as following them, Tanzwut released an album titled "Schattenreiter" ("Shadowrider"), E Nomine made a song "Die Schwarzen Reiter" ("The Black Riders"), and Oomph! made "Mein Schatz" ("My Precious"). The lyrics of thse last two, especially, make it quite clear what the inspiration was. |
