Lotr Soundtrack

[WinterSoul]

i am beginning to wonder
doesn't anybody like the soundtrack?
it was a really good work if you ask me
The music was a perfect reflection of the spirit of the movie and ENYA's two songs were so so so so great!

Little flashback here:
The first time i saw the movie and when Enya's MAY IT BE was played at the end i was the only one who sat there , so captured and still at my seat. And remained there till the end of the song. Nobody gave "may it be" a chance at the cinema [well at least that was the way things were here in my country]. So what the movie was 3 hours [only] long?
SHAME !
Such a great song!


ooh yeah back to the topic :
Anyboby interested in having a little conversation about the soundtrack? :wave:

[A! Elbereth]

Yeah I liked the LOTR Soundtrack!!!! I only listened to it with my CD player everytime I read the books!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I copied all the songs to a CD by using a song downloading program :o)

[WinterSoul]

Which are your fav songs ?
i enjoyed all of them but especially
"concerning hobbits", "the coucil of elrond" ,
"a journey in the dark" , " the bridge of K-Dum", "lothlorien"
and surely "may it be" .
I love that emotional part in song 13 [b of k dum] after the falling of gandalf into the abyss
it sends shivers down my spine every time i listen to it. Big emotional impact, almost makes me cry.
Perfect singing !

[A! Elbereth]

I totally agree! Did you know that is a little boy singing! He also sings in "The Breaking of the Fellowship" around 5 Minutes and 15 seconds is my favorite part where he sings ... great words too!
Its my fav. song

[WinterSoul]

Yes ! A good part indeed . i also love it.
You got me here though. i did not know that a little boy does that angelic singing. I though it was some female singer

[A! Elbereth]

I found out on the Official LOTR site.... they had videos of the making of the music... and then they showed this little boy singing the part... I was astonished... who would think? heh

[Beregond]

I really like these songs: Concerning Hobbits, At The Sign Of The Prancing Pony, and (especially) The Ring Goes South. I thought the sound track was great.

[WinterSoul]

Yes indeed !
A GREAT SOUNDTRACK !


You don't like enya's songs guys?

Nobody says "May it be"'s good
or maybe it's that good that there's no need to say it :) ?

[Pil]

I am singing May It be in assembly on the fifth of July...ahhh! :p

[WinterSoul]

that's great Pil :)
good luck
i also sing
are you good?

[PrinceImrahil]

I LOVE THIS SOUNDTRACK!!!!
My favorite songs are Concerning Hobbits, The Ring Goes South, The Bridge of Khazad-Dum, and Breaking of the Fellowship/May it Be (They are kinda one song).
I also like Amon Hen and Track #4 (I forget what its called...Summit to do with Isengard).

[A! Elbereth]

Hey Pil! Wow! What kind of a voice do you have? Alto? Soprano? Do you sing well? I love to sing! I sound pretty good, but not as good as some people

[Pil]

I mostly sing top soprano, high notes are my look out! I CAN sing alto if forced to but i don't enjoy it as much!

As for whether i'm good...i hope i'm good enough not to make a fool of myself infront of a whole lot of people! I've sung solos before so it shouldn't be a problem, i'm just looking forward to it.

It turns out i have to sing the wednesday afterwards...the...um...tenth of July! Wish me luck peeps!!! :embarras:

[A! Elbereth]

Good luck! ... I mean GREAT luck! practice practice practice! hehe lol

[Pil]

I went to Florida recently and i was singing May it be in the two hour queues for rides...i could sing it in my sleep!!! I just need to get it over and done with now...i've been waiting for so long to actually pluck up the courage to do so! :embarras:

[Bonos-Girl]

good luck...hang on a minute...i really don't need to tell ytou that here do i?...oh well nevermind...even if you're really bad (which you won't be!!) i'll force everyone to clap!!!!!

[Pil]

Awwwwww! Thanx!!!! :embarras: :notworthy: :cuddles:

[Bonos-Girl]

hey...what are friends for...???

[Pil]

AAAAAAAAAH! You won't be here! You're gonna be on the french exchnage! NOW i'm nervous!!!! mecry

[Bonos-Girl]

awwwww......can't you try and change the date???

[Pil]

I'll tlk to u ltr, i dnt think any1 else cares!... lol

[Bonos-Girl]

ok....i think you're right!!! sorry people!!!

[Pil]

Has anyone else purchased the sheet music to the lotr soundtrack? I dunno if this is the same elsewhere, but here it was about ten quid...which is quite a lot for the limited amount of songs you are actually given. There's may it be, in dreams, aragorn and arwen's theme, lament for gandalf and...track one of the soundtrack....begins with p....ok, its gone! I just wanted to know if anyone else was quite shocked with the price! :p :knight:

[Pil]

I DID IT!!!!!! I SANG MAY IT BE IN ASSEMBLY!!!!!!!! :hooray:

[Pil]

I REFUSE to post to myself over here any longer! verymad :batty:

Anyway. Does anyone else find that either:

a)When they listen to the soundtrack they can quote/picture the film along with it?

b)That you come up with completely different images, based on LOTR or not, to go with the music. In another story i'm writing legolas comes over the hill with thousands of elven warriors. The thought came from me listening to 'The Ring Goes South' (track 11) :p :dragon:

[A! Elbereth]

I picture both - Mostly about the book and I could point out any scene while listening. But the music makes me think of what it would be like if I lived in a world like Middle Earth. It seems so much better. I know theres evil there, but there's evil here too, and I dunno, it seems like I would have a better time in a place like that than here. I think about that alot of the time I'm listening to it. trying to picture myself in M.E. It REALLY works.lol

[A! Elbereth]

On track 10, at the beggining there is music before Enya sings. WOW I love this song the most. It makes me picture them traveling towards Mt. Doom... and sam watching Frodo Sleep. IT reminds me of Rivendell (of course) and right before Enya sings and when enya sings is when I feel terribly sadmecry mecry lol So what about you guys? What is your favorite song and why do you like it?

[Pil]

My fav song is also Aniron...but i dunno if it's supposed to be sad! veryhappy I'm thinking about singing that with 'In dreams' (also a fav) on the end in assembly.... now i've done it once i'm thirsty for more! lol :huh: :read: :p

[legolaslover]

I love the soundtrack. It helps me fall asleep. I really like number 9- Many Meetings. It reminds me of when I first saw Legolas.

[Pil]

I can tell we're gonna have to catch u when you swoon...*pil being knowledgable here...but u DON'T wanna know* lol :embarras:

[legolaslover]

Did you know that the person singing in number 17 is really a guy! He sounds so much like a girl. It is sort of weird.

[Black Rider]

thats so cool Pil! thats a really pretty song. i'm sure you're great if you have that great taste. :grin: i wish i could sing it but my voice teacher wants me to do these weird italian aria things:rolleyes:

i also like the soundtrack. if i keep it on low it's great background music for thinking stuff like homework.

[A! Elbereth]

yes I knew that Legolas - I mentioned it on the frist page of the thread - I do recall he was 6 or 7, you can watch videos of him singing on the original LOTR movie site

[Narloth]

I absolutely LOVE the soundtrack! My faves? That's tough... The Prophecy, Concerning Hobbits, The Council of Elrond, Lothlorien, The Breaking of the Fellowship, May it Be. I hope the Two Towers soundtrack will be as good as the Fellowship one.

[Ilmarë]

I love Concerning Hobbits...Many Meetings...The Council of Elrond... The Bridge of Khazad Dum... Lothlorien...but especially The Breaking of the Fellowship. I can't tell you how many times i've cried listening to that.mecry mecry mecry

:elfqueen:

[A! Elbereth]

The Breaking of the Fellowship makes me cry too! ARGH I am so dang emotional I cry at anything even remotely sad! :mecry: Its soooo beautiful! Whenever I listen to it I can't help but listen to it another 19 times lol

[WinterSoul]

that's the effect of perfect music.
Leaves us helpless and addicted.........doomed to never get enough of it. :)

[Lady Galadriel]

Ok. I bought the Limited Edition Soundtrack...ya know...the one with the leather case, and someone ripped off the cd. mecry I still have the case but not the cd. I was wondering if one of you could tell me what the cd looks like. Mine had the ring on it. I would assume yours do as well, but with all the editions...who knows? Could one of you help me out?

[Catz]

OUCH!!! bet you were verymad Lady G....yeah i think all the editions were gold and silver with the ring on the CD...in fact, i think that the only real difference was the packaging...tho i may be wrong there....hope that helps ;) :cool:
Oh and thats so true Wintersoul......hopelessly addicted :grin:
:catz:

[Lady Galadriel]

Yes, Lady G was very VERY VERRRRRY MAD! verymad


Whoa there...I'm good now. :cool: Thanks Catz! That helps a lot.

[WinterSoul]

if i lose some of my cd's [especially ones i like a lot] i go crazy and become violent and destructive....that's so tough for me. I think i have a "Cd addiction" syndrome :)

Good luck with finding [or maybe regaining] your cd lady Galadriel.
I fully understand what it's like to have the case but lack the cd. :(

[Lady Galadriel]

Yes...mecry...i...will...try to pull myself together. What's this cd addiction syndrome? I'm pretty sure I've got it. I CANNOT live without my cds!

[A! Elbereth]

Is there anyway you could return it, or get your money back?

[TheRingBearer]

I've heard a few songs from this soundtrack and I must say they are great ( didn't the score win an oscar?) I personally like May it be, the music video of which is on the DVD. It is really touching and goes great with the film in general.

[Rosie Gamgee]

I love the soundtrack! it's the only music I really like to listen to. My fav songs are In dreams, Aniron, and May it Be. I bought the sheet music for them and now my voice teacher is helping me learn them. The Quenya is beautiful to sing (or is it Sindarin??)

:) :) :) :) :) :p :p roflmao roflmao


:elfqueen: **Rosie**

[Black Rider]

wow! where did you get the sheet music for that??? i'd like to get it, but i cant find it!!

[Pil]

I got it from a local music shop....they're everywhere! That's how i got somene to accompany meon piano when isang may it be in assembly. veryhappy

[Black Rider]

hmm really?? thats good, theres a music shop right by my house, i'll check it out

[Pil]

It's got really good pictures....:blush:....a bit random but... :huh: lol

[Black Rider]

awesome! amd i just got paid too lol i think i'll take a walk after dinner tonight... ;)

[TheRingBearer]

I don't know if this has been posted before but the Lord of the rings soundtrack is officially the best music from a film EVER.

Wow!! :thumbs:

[Pil]

WOW INDEED! lol :thumbs:

It is brilliant...it includes music for every mood i'm in.

If i've had a bad day at school i'll come home listening to concerning hobbits to cheer me up.

If i'm upset about something i'll listen to aniron, the breaking of the fellowship or lothlorien to get it out of my system.

If i'm not sure what mood i'm in i'll listen to the prophecy or the black rider, cos both of them have a real mix of speed and volume.

Oh, and the great river is great to meditate to... :)

[TheRingBearer]

Oh yeah, Concerning Hobbits is my favourite track, from what I've heard. It's so peaceful and fits the countryside atmosphere so well :thumbs:

[A! Elbereth]

Breaking of the Fellowship is mine, but I'd like to hear it without the voice in it too. Because, right when the credtis role, at the end of the movie, they cut out the voice in The breaking of the Fellowship, and its sounds so beautiful! But i don't know how to cut voices out of music...

Oooooo! So pwetty!!! mecry

[TheRingBearer]

I just bought this today and I must say it lives up to it's name. They're a brilliant selection of different toned tracks, as I'm sure you all know but I just have to say it :grin:

My favourites are: Concerning Hobbits (as I said), A Knife in the Dark, Many Meetings, The Council of Elrond, The Bridge of Khadzad Dum, The Great River and The Breaking of the Fellowship :thumbs:

[TheRingBearer]

Oh yeah and that end part of the breaking of the fellowship is very nice A!E. I see what you mean about the voices but I still think it sounds great ;)

[Tar-Ancalimë]

I am officially obsessed over the FotR soundtrack... everyone I know thinks I'm CRAZY!

But I love it... I don't really have a favorite track, I just listen to the whole thing, beginning to end... when i'm sleeping... when i'm eating... when i'm surfing the net... when my teachers let me... whenever i'm not watching FotR (which is almost never!!)... and right now!

It's the best music I've ever heard. Ever.

[Pil]

:thumbs: veryhappy

I can share your happiness! :)

[TheRingBearer]

I totally do the same thing there Tar-Ancalimë

:thumbs:

[Tar-Ancalimë]

Thx!!!!
