Lotr Soundtrack

[Pil]

GO NUTS!

[TheRingBearer]

I have :)

[Pil]

:o Aren't i the arse! there's already a thread bout it! oh well....vote on the poll if u don't wanna post... :thumbs:

[Pil]

NOW I HAVE SOMETHING TO TALK ABOUT HERE! :hooray:

I've heard that the soundtrack to TTT will be coming out before the film...are you going to buy it then or wait to see the film first? :huh:

Personally i'm going to purchase it as soon as it hits the shelves....just try and stop me...! THe music for helm's deep...edoras...OH! veryhappy

[A! Elbereth]

Actually, the FOTR soundtrack came out 2 1/2 to 3 months before the movie came out. We should be expecting it in september or early october

[Orkybash]

It's a common practice in Hollywood to release sountracks before the film comes out, actually.

And as much as I want to hear Howard Shore's music for the second installment, I don't want the soundtrack ruined! So I'll be buying it after the movie.

[Princess Greenleaf]

The soundtrack ROCKS! I bought it after the movie came out and it gave me shivers it was so good.

And not only that, it won an Academy Award and is on the top of the list of best soundtracks in the world.

[Gowpon]

I bought it before the movie, and I was trying to figure out what was going on by listening...:p :naughty:

Absolutely Fab!!!

[Pil]

I like to do that too! I did that for other films...titanic i think...but not for fotr. I will be doing it for TTT though definitely! :thumbs: :stomper:

[Arwen, Elven Princes]

The music was just flawless. (I love that word.)
It's probalbe the only CD that i have that i like every song on it.
"What are you talking about?"
Example: The only reason I got the Star Wars 2 music was because my eyes would water when I heard that flawless,(i said it again.) Love theme, it's haunting, and smooth, and so romantic. *Very deep sighs. Eye's water.*

[Tar-Ancalimë]

As for me, I watched FotR weeks after it arrived... I thought it was going to be dumb and I didn't like the books (since then I have a new-found appreciation for them) so I got the soundtrack after the movie but I do love it.
:loveyou:
:hooray:

[Isiltári]

Ooohhhhhh.......I dunno if I want to wait to buy the TT soundtrack until after I've seen it, I feel like it might spoil it somehow to listen to it beforehand.........how will I make up my mind! Lol

[Tar-Ancalimë]

I think I don't really want to. I expect it will be very good but I do think it would spoil the movie in a way.

[Eowyn]

how will it spoil the movie? you know whats going to happen anyway! I'll probably get it when I have enough money. (looks like I'm working next week then!)

[Tar-Ancalimë]

well... cause... i dunno its just a feeling i have

[Bonos-Girl]

i'll probably buy it after the film comes out.....actually i probably won't buy it but copy it off pil!!

[Pil]

verymad.....lol It's true people! :angry: grr.....roflmao

[Tar-Ancalimë]

HEY!!!! Who thought it was just "OK"???

IT WAS THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Pil]

lol Maybe they're not into that kind of music...or maybe they have'nt actually bought it and are trying to remember the misic from the film... :huh:

[Eowyn]

I hope so because there is no other excuse. lol
I have to make sure I have money put aside for the extended DVD and the soundtrack now, otherwise I'll foret and I won't have enough money to buy it mecry

[Pil]

I would LIKE ot say that i've been sensibly putting aside a fiver each month in preparation...but no...that would be too clever... mecry

WHERE will i get the money?! A job! I NEED a job...hmm... :huh:

[Eowyn]

:o then get a job or see if your parents will pay you to do stuff around the house.
clean the car,
wash the windows,
clean all the doors or something.
you must find money pil! lol sorry!

[Pil]

Yes...i must! :knight: :thumbs: :jester:

I'll wash the cars...damn messy job...and i'll type stuff up for my computer illiterate parents...hehe...regular source of income that is! lol

[Bonos-Girl]

you're sooo lucky...my parents expect me to help them without getting paid...i made a really complicated spreadsheet one day when i was ill from school and she didn't even use it in the end!!

[Tar-Ancalimë]

argh now two people havent even heard it was is this

PEOPLE WHO VOTED "HAVENT HEARD IT" GO HEAR IT!!!

[Pil]

:thumbs: You really should...it's soooo good! veryhappy

[Adunauriel]

I've herd it, but will admit I still need to buy it.

[Beleglotiel]

I loved the soundtrack! I listen to it almost everyday! My fav song is #13 The Bridge of Kazadum! I get into the music alot! I also love to sing along witht the songs with words and stuff. Being a musican myself, the moment I heard the music on the movie I was like 'wow, this has got some really great music!' I am trying to get my band director to get some LoTR music for our band to play but he hasn't found any good arrangments at our level.

[Legolas Greenleaf]

I love the Fellowship soundtrack! but i dont have enough money to buy TTT yet.. :(

[A! Elbereth]

Random comment:

I wish I had a car so I could drive it around town with no destination, just so I could blast the soundtrack up to the max.... lol ;)

[Beleglotiel]

Heh, okay.
Well, i think I want to see the movie and listen to the music on it first before a buy the soundtrack although it's pretty obvious that it is going to be awesome too, so, now worries!

[Adunauriel]

I love the soundtrack for FotR.. But I absolutely love TTT soundtrack it's amazing...:) :thumbs: :cool:

[Beleglotiel]

I just went through a 3 day long thing for band and I had a director named Lalo Davila, he's a really great percousion player and a nice guy! He says he knows people who played in the Harry Potter and Lotr orchestras! I thought that was really cool!

[Pinklotus]

Listen to it now and Love it !!!

[Beleglotiel]

I love the songs that have Elvish on it...............Enya does a good job! :thumbs:

[Bonos-Girl]

i like the songs that are in elvish too. they sound so pretty compared to english words!!

[Beleglotiel]

I have one of them almost memerized. I like the ending song In Dreams best tho.......that boy that sings it can it really high!

[Bonos-Girl]

i know...its scary!!!

[Beleglotiel]

Scary? I think it's cool! But I can get that high too ;) I actually sang that song in front of my class one day. They thought I did good! :grin:

[Bonos-Girl]

pil sang may it be but i was in france on the french exchange so i didn't see it mecry. I bet it was really good though cos every time she rehearsed it sounded excellent!! lol

[Beleglotiel]

Cool, there is this one song that I love to sing. It was a song on a LOTR screensaver called Full of Grace. It's not on the CD or anything but the word go along great with the screensaver! It makes me wanna cry everytime!

[Arwen Undomiel]

was it a female singing it? quite slow and beautiful with the lyrics going something along the lines of:

#if all of the strength and all of the courage,
#come and lift me from this place
#i know i can love you much better than this
#full of grace, full or grace

;)

[Beleglotiel]

Yeah! But there is more to it than that............

Winter is come.....
And bitter.......
It's chill last to the bone.......
Haven't seen the sun for weeks......
To long to far from home.......
I feel just like I'm sinking.......
And I claw for solid ground.......
Pulled down by the undertow.......
Never thought I could feel so lonely.......
In all of the darkness I feel like letting go........
If all of the strength and all of the courage........
Come and lift me from this place........
I know i could love you much better than this..........
Full of grace, full or grace...........
My love.......(not to sure about this last line tho)

mecry It's so beautiful!!!!

[Arwen Undomiel]

I HAVE THAT SONG!!!!!!!!!!!! and the album that it's on. i first heard it on an episode of buffy the vampire slayer. it's called 'full of grace' by sarah mclachlan and it's available on her album, 'surfacing'. i love her music and have got a couple of her albums.

oooh how did you come across this screensaver? what kinda images were there? was the whole song playing or just a bit of it? it's a gorgeous song isn't it!

[Bonos-Girl]

i haven't heard the song but weirdly i know that there is a song called angel on the same album...don't ask me how i know that cos i don't have a clue!!

[Beleglotiel]

Well...........Arwen Undomiel
I got the screensaver at www.theorlandobloomfiles.com but infortunately it says..................

"Screen Savers for PCs
This page will be offline for a few days while I upload all the files to the new server."

so you'll have to wait a while before you can download it..........:(

[Arwen Undomiel]

yep there's a song called 'angel' on the 'surfacing' album, bonos-girl. it's lovely! it's from the 'city of angels' movie.

[Bonos-Girl]

I finally worked out how i knew that....i got a buffy guide thing for christmas 2 years ago and it was in there.

[Beleglotiel]

I got the TTT soundtrack the other day! It was good, but I like FOTR soundtrack better ;)

[Bonos-Girl]

i like both....not sure which one i prefer though...hmm...decisions decisions! lol

[Arwen Undomiel]

i like both equally ;).

[Beleglotiel]

I like Gollum's Song!

[Arwen Undomiel]

i always thought emilia whatsit sounded just like bjork, and then i read an article which contained some quotes from bjork saying she'd been asked to sing 'gollum's song', but turned it down due to her pregnancy. she later found out that howard shore had opted to searc for some bjork sound-alike singers and found emilia whatsit! i knew it was too much of a coincidence for her to sound llike her the former!

[Bonos-Girl]

when my dad heard it he remarked how much it sounded like bjork! lol

[Arwen Undomiel]

my brother too.

[Beleglotiel]

Okay, who is bjork?

I've heard that name before, but only because they were making fun of her on Saturday Night Live! lol

[Arwen Undomiel]

she's an icelandic singer who sings rather bizarre and often cool songs. she's got a distinctive voice and sounds like emilia whatsit who sings 'gollum's song'.

[Bonos-Girl]

she sings some really cool songs..the only thing i'm not too sure about is her dress sense!! lol

[Beleglotiel]

lol
Well.............I've never heard HER sing..........but I couldn't say what other song that is my fave. I like the other cd better. But I do favor 'The King of the Golden Hall' #6

[TheRingBearer]

I've now decided that I like the TTT soundtrack better than FOTR :thumbs: It just has so many great themes and battle tracks

[Arwen Undomiel]

i've been thinking that too lately; there are more powerful themes on the ttt soundtrack and with the addtional familiar sounds of some of the fotr score on there too, it's even better!!! :grin:

[Beleglotiel]

Well..............I like Gollum's Song, but I must say I like FOTR soundtrack better :huh: i dunno, i'm just weird i guess.

[Glarawen]

It was really good I listen to it all the time...... :thumbs:

[Celebrían]

I have never heard a more perfect soundtrack. The best way I know how to describe it is by saying what Elijah Wood said about it during the cast commentary on the extended edition of FOTR (if you haven't watched it, shame on you!) he says, "It's so perfect it's like it's not even there." It's like you hear the Fellowship theme and you think "This IS the fellowship!" Does any of what I just said make any sense? In other words, the music perfeclty matches what you see on screen.

[Arwen Undomiel]

yeh, i know what you mean; it's like whenever i hear the music, i can picture what's happening and the emotions of the characters... both the fotr and ttt soundtracks are just so beautiful.

[Celebrían]

P.S. Three cheers for Howard Shore, FOTR won a Grammy last night!!!! :hooray:

[Arwen Undomiel]

yay!!! i was so happy for him! shame he didn't qualify to get an oscar nomination. mecry

[Celebrían]

Tell me about it! mecry At least he won last year. :thumbs:

[Arwen Undomiel]

yeh! and everyone knows the lotr soundtrack is the best! :hooray: :hooray: ;)

[Celebrían]

Amen and Hallelujah!

[Woodland Gal]

i bought right after i saw the movie...i wanted to c the movie first to see how the music was...i listen to it befor i go 2 bed!!!!!!! i loveee it!
# 12 (helms deep)
#6 (the king of the golden hall)
#14 my faveorite! a breath of life
#9 the white rider!!!

[Celebrían]

I totally agree, woodland gal!!! I find that when I listen to the soundtrack to put me to sleep, I will often have a LOTR dream. :snooze: That's always a plus!!! :)

[Arwen Undomiel]

tracks 16, 17 and 18 on the fotr soundtrack almost always send me to sleep... :snooze:

[Celebrían]

I know, I LOVE those tracks! Howard Shore rocks!!!!!!!

[TheRingBearer]

Yeah Breath of Life is really good. :hooray: for Howard Shore.
Can't wait for ROTK soundtrack

[Celebrían]

I know! It's going to kick...tail. ;)

[Arwen Undomiel]

the rotk soundtrack will be just as amazing and serene as the first two - guaranteed!!! lol lol ;) :thumbs:

[Celebrían]

I would even go so far as to say that it very well may top the other two!!! :thumbs:

[Beleglotiel]

I hope it is pretty good. It better be at least ;) If the other two are this good, then ROTK soundtrack should be all that and a bag of chips! :thumbs: lol

[Arwen Undomiel]

mmmmmmmmm, what a combo that would be! lol lol lol

[Woodland Gal]

yes i love all the songs it makes me want to see the movie over and over...wait i do anyways...
i just recently gotten the felloship one....yes yes im slow...but hey ....he ha

[Celebrían]

Better late, than never, woodland gal! :thumbs: ;)

[Beleglotiel]

I've had both soundtracks for a while I haven't listened to them much lately, I'll have to admit :(

[Arwen Undomiel]

i've stopped listening to them, for the time being.

[YayBoromir!]

I'm listening to my FOTR soundtrack right now! lol
I only got it fairly recently though, and I can't get enough of it. :thumbs:

[Celebrían]

I know! It transports me everytime! :)

[Arwen Undomiel]

i was listening to my ttt c.d. the other day, and i had to stop what i was doing at the end of 'forth eorlingas' coz it's just so amazing!!! lol lol lol

[YayBoromir!]

I haven't got the TTT soundtrack, would you recommend it? The thing is, I'm not sure, because the Fellowship Theme is my favourite theme from FoTR and that doesn't feature largely in TTT. mecry
When I listen to my FoTR soundtrack, I listen to songs 16-18 first, then start from track 11 all the way to the end of the CD. I don't really listen to tracks 1-10 at all! They are quite quiet and I prefer the louder, more dramatic tracks.

YB!:cool:

[Celebrían]

GET IT!!!!!!! :thumbs:

[YayBoromir!]

Wow. Short, sweet, and to the point. I like it! :thumbs:

[Celebrían]

Sure thing! ;)

[YayBoromir!]

Question: are there any hints of the Fellowship theme in the TTT soundtrack? And are there any more relaxing songs, for example like tracks 17 and 18 on FoTR? Those are my favourites...although track 16, The Breaking of the Fellowship, almost makes me cry... (yes, sad, isn't it)... probably because it has Boromir's death music in it mecry mecry mecry

[Celebrían]

Yes, there are hints of "fellowship music" in TT. I would say that the mix between exciting and more soothing music is pretty even. There is a hint of the fellowship theme in track 5 (which is one of my favorites), but as far as the exact same stuff, well, I wouldn't say it is the SAME, but there are definately cool variations. :thumbs: But, yes, get it for sure. Listening to it makes me visualize everything. It's like re-living the movie all over again!

And you're right, "Breaking of the Fellowship" is VERY sad. The music at this point is sooooo moving!

[YayBoromir!]

Wow, sounds cool. I'll look for it when I go shopping on Saturday. I have lots of money and nothing to spend it on! lol
Now all I have to decide is which CD cover to choose! roflmao
Thank you ever so much for the info, Celebrian! :grin:
Do you like the Fellowship theme? I recorded it from the CD by sticking a microphone into a speaker :blush: (the only way I could figure out how to do it!) so it plays whenever I log into my computer. Hehe!

YB!:cool:

[Celebrían]

I LOVE the "Fellowship theme"! Could you pm me and give details about how you got it to play when you start your computer? That's so cool! :cool:

[Celebrían]

Oh, and sure thing about the soundtrack info! Anytime! :thumbs:

[YayBoromir!]

I've PMed you with the details, Celebrian. I hope they're clear enough! It took me a while to work out how to do it...

YB!:cool:

[Celebrían]

And I PMed you back ;) Thanks a bunch! :thumbs:

[Arwen Undomiel]

you won't be disappointed, yayboromir - i can guarantee it. there ARE traces of 'the fellowship theme' on the ttt soundtrack, but considering the film is no longer focusing solely on the fellowship, it inevitably features new themes and melodies, which are more significant. for me, standout tracks include 'evenstar', 'breath of life', 'forth eorlingas', and' 'samwise the brave'. :grin: :grin:

[YayBoromir!]

Sounds good...I'm going shopping tomorrow, hopefully I will get it... :) Thanks for the info everyone, you were really helpful :grin:

YB!:cool:

[Arwen Undomiel]

happy hunting! ;) be sure to let us know what you think of it - good or bad! lol lol

[Celebrían]

The tracks that you mentioned, Arwen, are my "favs" as well. :thumbs:

[Arwen Undomiel]

they're such fabulous and moving songs, aren't they?!! :thumbs:

[Celebrían]

I know! When I listen to them I get chills, especially the track where Gandalf charges down the hill :thumbs: so cool!

[YayBoromir!]

I got the TT soundtrack! :hooray: :hooray: :hooray: I haven't had chance to listen to all of it yet, but I liked tracks 3 and 5 (full blown FELLOWSHIP THEME!!:wiggle: :whoohoo: YEAH!) When I've listened to the whole CD I will tell you my opinion of each track.
Thanks for recommending it!

YB!:cool:

[Arwen Undomiel]

hope you love it as much as the rest of us do! ;) :grin: :grin:

[Bonos-Girl]

as if there's any doubt of that!! lol

[YayBoromir!]

Now that I've listened to the soundtrack all the way through, I can say that tracks 5, 15, and 16 were my favourite (Fellowship theme...) hehehe! :grin:
In my overall opinion, I prefer the FoTR soundtrack (guess why!) but TTT soundtrack is awesome, thanks for recommending it! :thumbs:

YB!:cool:

[Celebrían]

I'm glad you like it! I must admit that it DID take a little longer for me to like the TT soundrack like I do FOTR, but I like now a lot more than I did. I think part of the reason for that is that it "skips around" so much (it's not in chronological order). The FOTR soundtrack is in order (and therefore it is easier to picture what is happening), but TT is not. I still love it, though, it's just a little bit harder to follow :thumbs:

[Arwen Undomiel]

i'm sure it'll grow on as you listen to it more and more, yayb! :thumbs: :thumbs:

[Celebrían]

I think so, too. It still "growing" on me! :thumbs:

[TheRingBearer]

TTT has fully grown on me now lol I greatly prefer it to FOTR now although they're both amazing

[Celebrían]

Yeah, TT keeps getting better and better! :thumbs:

[Woodland Gal]

yea it does!

[YayBoromir!]

Guess what I did. When I went to Wales I was gonna bring my TT soundtrack with me so it could grow on me a bit more, but I thought it was in my CD player and when I was in the coach I opened it and realised I'd left it in my stereo! >_< Luckily I had my FOTR one with me... if I hadn't had that I would have gone insane lol

[Arwen Undomiel]

awww, yayb!!! how awful! mecry mecry thank heavens you still had your fotr soundtrack!!! :hooray: :hooray:

[Celebrían]

Oh, that stinks! mecry Glad you're back though! :thumbs:

[Galadhwen]

I thought FOTR soundtrack was brill but TTT one is even better! When i was writing my last fan fic there were pieces that fitted into my story, spurring me on when i struggled. Can't wait for ROTK!!!

[Celebrían]

Me, too Galadhwen! :thumbs:

[YayBoromir!]

Thanks Cel :grin: Yeah, it was lucky I still had FoTR, I nearly fell asleep on the coach due to tracks 17 and 18 lol they are so relaxing! The Rohan theme is really growing on me atm, but IMO nothing can beat the Fellowship theme ;)

[Woodland Gal]

omg i love the rohan theme!!!!...itsthe best!!!...but i still love the felloship theme and lothlorien theme

[YayBoromir!]

Fellowship theme rules :thumbs:
I'm not too fond of the Lothlorien theme, or the Gondor theme, but who knows, maybe the Gondor one will grow on me once I hear it more in ROTK...:)

[Woodland Gal]

yea lothlorien goes to fast on the cd it was longer and more mysterious in the movie....i like the concering hobbits song!

[Galadhwen]

I adore the Rohan theme too - it makes me think of Eomer (sigh) and Evenstar...it sounds so sad - more like a lament.
mecry

[Arwen Undomiel]

yes, the rohan theme IS quite a melancholy one... and it's so beautiful... :loveyou: :loveyou:

[Woodland Gal]

i love he rohan theme its soo dreamy and...i dunno it gives me goosebumps lol....its sad as well
evensta is great!lol

[A! Elbereth]

The Rohan theme sounds excellent in our orchestra, because we have the concert master as our lead violinst :grin:

Soooo beautiful lol

[Celebrían]

Oh, wow! I bet that is beautiful! I wish I could hear that! :( I'm a sucker for the symphony.

[Elleth]

I love the soundtrack! I listen to it almost everyday in the car. The music is extremely beautiful.

[Celebrían]

I like to listen to it at night. It just seems more mysterious and dreamilke when it is dark out. I hope you know what I mean...I am finding myself unable to get my point across..... :(

The othernight I was listening to the part off track 16 on the TT soundtrack when the Riders of Rohan charge down the hill, and I mean, it gives me chills everytime! I love that part!

[Bonos-Girl]

you're fine at getting your point accross! anyway..noone can be worse than me!! lol

[YayBoromir!]

What I do is I plug it into the mains and listen to it in the pitch black at about 11:30-12 at night, it is so much more incredible when you aren't concentrating on anything else... I've only done that with FoTR though, and it amplifies the sadness of the death music mecry I'll have to try it with TTT soundtrack! I haven't really had a chance to listen to that much.

[Celebrían]

That's sort of what I mant by listening to it at night, YB. :thumbs: It's easier to concentrate on the music and be transported by it when the sun has gone down....and let me tell you that the TT soundtrack gets better and better every time I listen to it! I listened to it last night when I was having trouble going to sleep. It gave me chill bumps!

[YayBoromir!]

It makes me more sleepy and relaxed... that's good for me as I usually find it very difficult to go to sleep. Plus nobody else can hear me as I use my CD player :) hehe

[Bonos-Girl]

thats what i do if i can't sleep....the annoying thing is my light switch is rather loud so i have to look round in the dark for my walkman! lol

[YayBoromir!]

LOL I know how you feel BG! Luckily I have a torch which is hidden in my bedside cabinet so I can sneak it out to change the track lol But when I put the things back after listening to them I make a loud racket and I bet it's totally obvious what I am doing ;)

[Arwen Undomiel]

i'm sure my next door neighbour must be sooo sick of hearing of hearing my ttt soundtrack by now! lol lol lol

[YayBoromir!]

LOL Arwen Undomiel lol
I don't play it that loud, but once when I was the only one in the house I put it on the main stereo system very loud and I couldn't hear myself think...but it was worth it!:thumbs:

[Arwen Undomiel]

i love to blast out 'forth eorlingas'... just for the finale! :thumbs: :grin:

[Celebrían]

Oh, 'Forth Eorlingas' gives me chills it's so beautiful! (by the way, what is happening in the movie during that first little bit of music? I can't place that part). :huh:

[Periantari Andruil]

omg that song (Forth Eorlingas) is sooo good :thumbs:
it gives me chills too =)
i play the soundtrack so much that it really is a part of me hehe :grin:

[Galadhwen]

Sometimes i lay out on the sofa late at night with the lights off, with the headset on and just blast out the music. Even though i have it loud it sometimes lulls me to sleep...or maybe i'm just going into another timespan or something. It could even be Middle-Earth! :snooze::thumbs:

[Periantari Andruil]

hehe..i can hear that :thumbs:
that is a good idea... i need to burn the songs from my computer onto a cd in order to do that....but that sounds good to me =)

[Luvara]

oh, i love the soundtrack! :hooray:

[Periantari Andruil]

sooo adddicting...i cannot get enough of it... ;) good for doing hw too...makes me concentrate believe it or not =)

[YayBoromir!]

I find that too, Andruil... I love listening to songs 11-18 on FoTR - it really helps me concentrate! You wouldn't think of it because of all the sudden drum noises and all that, but it takes me into another world...and then there's Boromir's death music mecry

[Periantari Andruil]

omg that song is sooo sad mecry
i think about that too...when he defends the hobbits by keep on going on fighting after 3 arrows in his body...
i also like Breaking of the Fellowship... when Frodo decides to jump into the boat, it's sooo cool...every time i watch it, i'm like "GO FRODO...YOU DA MAN" hehe ...

all right..'nuff said ;)
=)

[Celebrían]

Wouldn't the more appropriate phrase be "You Da Hobbit"? (kidding) lol

But yes, the LOTR soundtrack is the best I've ever heard! I can't wait to hear the ROTK soundtrack! :whoohoo:

[Arwen Undomiel]

good point... lol lol :grin:

[Periantari Andruil]

haha that is a good point :thumbs:
so i edit my comment : "YOU DA HOBBIT" Frodo Baggins ;)

ahh the soundtrack is so good... makes you think about the scenes from the movie... i can never get sick of it.. "Riders of Rohan" is in my head right now...

[Luvara]

I love that one too! :thumbs:

[Kenzie]

i don't know if it was on the soundtrack... (i went online and wrote down all the songs that were on it then downloaded them all :o i know lol.. i'm cheap like that lol) but i know they played it in one of the trailers it was requime for a dream (don't mind my spelling) i loved that song i though it was really great

[Luvara]

don't worry, I downloaded them too! :blush: ;)

[Arwen Undomiel]

i downloaded the 'requiem for a dream' tune, too! off kazaa.com, which is a godsend!!! :grin: :grin:

[Periantari Andruil]

you have to BLARE Requiem for a Dream and nod your head to it to get the full sound of it and get into it :grin:
that's what i do ;)

[YayBoromir!]

I'm bringing the soundtrack every day with me to school atm, because my mum has this habit of listening to the most boring radio stations imaginable... lol
But I'm sitting there blaring out tracks 17 and 18, and luckily, it covers the droning noise of English reporters on the radio...

[Celebrían]

What song are you guys talking about that was not on the soundtrack? I want to know!

[Kenzie]

requime for a dream (dunno if thats the spelling) it was featured on one of the trailers... it's a really great song... if you can download songs on your comp you should

[Celebrían]

From the final trailer? Or the first one?

[Kenzie]

i think the final trailer... it's kinda twoards the end of it (they don't play it the whole time unless i am mistaken) i'll double check it.... lots of violin if that helps you any

[Celebrían]

I think I already have that. Is it that really fast, exciting music where Legolas is shield surfing and the wall at HD is blown up, etc? If so I have a nice long version of it that I got from ninecompanions.net.

[Kenzie]

not exactly sure... haven't seen the trailer in a long time lol

[Periantari Andruil]

i have it :grin:
it's neat seeing it over and over...makes you want to watch TTT ;)
it was an awesome trailer...cannot wait for the ROTK one!
:whoohoo:

[Arwen Undomiel]

i have that requiem-for-a-dream remix, too and it's excellent - incredibly stirring and atmospheric! :grin: :stomper:

[Cuthalion]

Guys I need some help to find the partitures from FotR (I really need it) So if anyone knows how to get them please let me know. Thanks a lot. Oh, and I love both soundtracks and I listen to them on my discman when I go to work...they're just awesome.

[Celebrían]

Finally downloaded the remix of requiem-for-a-dream (very cool), but is there a regular one? If so, how long is it?

[Periantari Andruil]

the long one is about 6 minutes =) i would IM it to you or email it to you but it's on my other computer :mmmm: hope you can find it... it's just as awesome and twice the time :)

[Celebrían]

Oh I have the 6 minute version, Andruil, it's the "non-remix" version I'm after....lol Thanks for the offer. :thumbs:

[The Silmarillion]

@ topic

the soundtrack was absolutely
fantastic ...
one of the best I have ever heard

[Mánaskin]

i just have heard the TTT soundtrack and i love it

[Kenzie]

yhea i only have the TTT soundtrack but my friend has the FOTR one ... i thought they were both really good!!

[Melian]

I have both the FotR and TTT soundtracks copied to my computer. That way I am surrounded by LotR music when I post LotR. Can't get much better that that!!! I think the music is one reason why I have seen the movies so many times. When I listen to them at home, it brings back the beautiful images of the movies and makes me want to see them again (and again, and again..............)..

[Celebrían]

Me too, Melian. :thumbs: They are truly beautiful....

[ElvishRock26]

my favorite song so far is The King of the Golden Hall:)

[Nessa the Dancer]

As Bonos-Girl and I think that are enough threads about concerning the Lord of the Rings movie soundtrack I'm going to merge this thread with the Lotr Soundtrack thead.

[The Silmarillion]

I found a song which is not on the cd of 'the two towers'
may be someone can help me to find out what's this song about?

Here it is: Requiem (http://free.ciserver.de/chinmoku/The%20Lord%20of%20the%20Rings-Trailer%20Theme.mp3)

[YayBoromir!]

Does anyone know what the boys are singing during Boromir's death music? I would really like to know! It sounds so sad and I don't know what they are saying. Any help much appreciated :)

[Celebrían]

I would also like to know what they are singing...anybody know?

Sil: I think that is the music played during the final TT trailer, called "Requiem for a Dream".

[The Silmarillion]

Thanks ...

But it wasn't on the lotr soundtrack, was it??

This songs is breathtaking.

[Luvara]

I looked around and found this site, but I don't know if this is what you're looking for: http://www.cep.unt.edu/songs/tolkien.html

[The Silmarillion]

I don't find 'Requiem for a Dream'
but there are other great songs
thank you very much.

[Luvara]

you're welcome! ;)

[YayBoromir!]

Finally got round to really appreciating the TTT soundtrack! I listened to "Forth Eolingas" so many times :grin: It's great! And it has the Fellowship Theme! :thumbs:
I still can't warm to Gollum's Song, though...I think it's the way it's sung. Gollum is one of my least favourite characters as well.

[Periantari Andruil]

omg..."Forth Eorlinagas"...i have overplayed over 130 times! hehe :grin: :stomper:
there's a counter of how many times you've played something on itunes on the iBook, and that one i definitely overplayed as well as many others, like "Requiem for a Dream", "Riders of Rohan", "Samwise the Brave", "Isengard Unleashed" and ones from FOTR like "Bridge of Khazad-dum", "Concerning Hobbits", "The Black Rider, "Breaking of the Fellowship", "Ring goes South"....

ok i can go on and on... but overplaying is the best :grin: :rolleyes:

i hope the ROTK soundtrack is just as good if not better than FOTR and TTT (though it seems mighty hard to top) ;) :) =)
:thumbs:

:ring:

[YayBoromir!]

I'm not sure whether to buy the ROTK soundtrack before or after I see the film...it could serve as a little spoiler, so I think it'll have to wait :( Hopefully I will have the extended TTT DVD to watch by then...mmmm...more Bori... :drool: :boromir: :drool:

[Evenstar]

yes the ttt soundtrack was a bit of a spoiler, but I will probably get the rotk track before the movie.
i had already learned Gollum's Song off by heart before the movie came out! that's just depressing! (and I think my friends were annoyed when I tried to sing it when the credits came out.) lol
is boromir in the extended ttt dvd YB? I didn't think he would be.

[YayBoromir!]

He is in the extended TTT DVD, Evenstar, in flashback scenes with Faramir. It's gonna be great! :grin: (she says!)
I don't like the way Gollum's song is sung, it sounds very whiney to me and I prefer the more peaceful style of Enya's "May It Be". I love listening to that song to help me sleep :)

[Gwaihir]

Really, YB? That would be very nice! :)
I just recently got the TTT soundtrack, and I love it! :grin: One of the reasons for getting it is because I LOVE that instrument they used on the Rohan theme. It gives me goosebumps! Gollum's Song is a bit creepy, I admit. I usually don't listen to that one.

[YayBoromir!]

Gollum's Song has very poignant lyrics, but the way it is sung is a bit croaky and doesn't appeal to me that much. It has a cool Rohan theme bit at the end though which I like to listen to. The Rohan theme is awesome :thumbs: but not as good as the Fellowship theme IMO ;)

[Melian]

Are you talking about the violin-type instrument? That is a Norwegian fiddle called the hardanger (not sure if I spelled it right). It is certainly beautiful. Not a sound that you here every day.

[Periantari Andruil]

it sooo does give a person goosebumps! i love that theme as well =) it fits Rohan so perfectly imh... =)
there are so many good songs in the soundtrack... Gollum's Song, i don't listen to much either... i tend to overplay Forth Eorlingas and Isengard Unleashed, and Samwise the Brave more.... but they all fit perfectly to the theme that they correspond to =)
can't wait for the ROTK soundtrack.! :whoohoo:

[YayBoromir!]

Been listening to both FoTR and TTT on holiday...I have now taken a liking for track 10 on FoTR (yes, it does have Fellowship theme at the end lol) and track 19 on TTT (the lyrics are great, and Rohan theme!!)

[Aravail]

i LOVE both soundtracks; mostly like all the Enya songs and Gollums's song the most :grin: samwise the brave makes me sad for some reason mecry

[Ceri Bloom]

i love the music backing sam's speeches, they are so thought provoking, and i like the track before enyas May it be, the one walk and meet again or something? i cant think of the name!! mecry i just love the song thou

[Radagast]

I love the whole soundtrack.. both Fotr and TTT.... i mean the movies are fantastic amazing, brilliant and so on... but imagine the movie with some low class B music... The Moria sequence without the native's singing in the background.. it just would not have been the same... the music speeks for it self...

Another song really really worth listening to everyone is "Requiem for a dream - main theme TTT" if you want to hear is just type The Two Towers on your' music download site... and there it is... really really cool suff!

[Hirgon]

Hrm, seems I have to post something otherwise my name gets deleted :o So here's my contribution to this thread, for those of you who haven't seen it already:

Some LOTR Film Music That Wasn't On The Soundtrack CDs (http://www.sa-matra.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/lotr)

Hope it works! :)

[Ceri Bloom]

thnks hirgon!! let me think about that radagast..nope i cant imagine any other music for the movies at all! tha music is just perfect, but did anyone think that the music on TTT sound track was in the wrong order? :huh:

[Radagast]

Wrong order? Im not following you?

[Bonos-Girl]

i think she means not in the same running order as the film...like the tracks are jumbled about..

[Ceri Bloom]

yer thats what i meant, but did anyone else think that about the first 6 tracks or so? :huh:

[Bonos-Girl]

i dont know..i'l play it along with the film sometimes and see..

[Ceri Bloom]

actually thats a good idea! i will go and do that right now....

[Elfdaughter]

Yeah - it is. TFOTR is pretty much in order (a little bit of jumping about - but not much.) TTT jumps about a good deal more.

[Radagast]

But the TTT Soundtrack is still as amazing as Fotr.

[Elfdaughter]

Oh yeah, I didn't say it wasn't - it's fantastic!

[Feebeefi]

I think they are both FANTASTIC but the ROTK soundtrack will probably be the best(in my opinion) and yes i agree TTT one is in the wrong order.:thumbs:

[The Silmarillion]

... but the ROTK soundtrack will probably be the best

Yes I think so, as well !
I have seen the RotK Trailer and was so amazed what I was partly listening to !!! ^^
Just fantastic !!!

[Crinblanca]

Well, my fav piece is the one named "Moria" , but somewhere I have heard is from the TTT soundtrack, cause this piece has the most representative sound for the movie to me.
Is so majestic and warrior :boromir:
I like the sountrack cause it reminds me and makes me feel the story:knight:
I want to buy the complete soundtracks :whoohoo:
Or better have some of the best pieces of the 3 movies.

[Ceri Bloom]

yeah, i cant wait fr the ROTK soundtrack, and i had to analyse the music on the FOTR soundtrack, and now i actually undertsand the movie a lot more! :hyper:

[Periantari Andruil]

Did anyone see this:
http://www.theonering.net/scrapbook/view/9132

it's so exciting!!! :whoohoo: :stomper:
actually..i think there is a thread in RotK discussing this... but perhaps it'll create discussion here too because it's relevant =)

[Amithrellas]

Wow! That really is something to jump up and down about :hyper:
I think Annie Lennox is brilliant and James Galway is no slacker either :grin:
Thanks PA!!

I've been listening to the soundtracks lately – and not to take anything away from the work anyone else has done in such an epic project – the music is so powerful, so incredible, the movies would be not half of what they are without it.

I bought the Two Towers soundtack in advance of seeing the movie and on its own, it really transports you. The keen of Eowyn when Aragorn doesn't show up at Helm's Deep, the chorus as Gandalf and the Balrog drop into the pool in the depths of Moria, the Celtic-like passages that signify Rohan, the percussion and horns of Barad-dur, Orcs, Saruman. It's amazing.

[invision]

I really can't wait for the ROTK soundtrack now, after seeing the cover image it looks like its going to top all the rest. Im intrigued especially by the theme in the trailer as Gandalf looks at Aragorn. I believe it was Elizabeth Fraser and it sounds similar to a theme in Two Towers, any help?


Michael.

[Eowyn]

well I bought the new Buffy Album the other day only to discover that Emiliana Torrini had sang her song Summerbreeze on buffy, apparently i wasn't paying attention Oops! :blush:

[Elfdaughter]

lol I'd never heard any of her stuff before TTT...and my mum thought she was Bjork at first! lol

[Ceri Bloom]

o...........k moving on! did anybody hear the music at the end of the rotk trailer?? trhat made me wanna go and watch rotk right then and there!! i tell you, music is addictive! lol

[Bonos-Girl]

yeah...my parents thought it was bjork as well when they irst heard it...but ic an't really blame em since i hadn;t heard of her before or anything

and i haven;t seen the ROTK trailer yet...arrghh...need....quicktime.....now....lol lol

[Ceri Bloom]

oohh its so good! you have to see it! :p i saw it on the big screen, and its great! :hyper:

[Elfdaughter]

I haven't seen it yet, either!!

[Bonos-Girl]

yay! i'm not tha only one! lol lol

[Elfdaughter]

lol..no, you're not!!

[Crinblanca]

Listening to LOTR ROTK soundtrack samples I almost weep, just thinking in what the music represent. (Now, when I see the movie I will cry :p)
I liked "Minas Tirith" , the first images in my mind of the white city . Another great sequence of LOTR music. :thumbs:
"Ash and smoke" sounds like Denethor´s pyre... Wow, the music nearly says it all, great! :thumbs:
"Anduril" , well , all!
"Grey Havens"
¡I got to listen all Annie Lennox song "Into the west"!!
The soundtrack is great

[My Preciousss]

I didn't know that there WAS a TTT soundtrack!:boohoo: Is there a store where I can buy it? (In Ohio) like Walmart, or Target, or somewhere????
I love listening to the FotR soundtrack....I've memorized the whole thing! it's so calming and beautiful.:snooze:
Also, does anyone know of a good place to find LotR posters? I've looked at the mall, and every store I can think of! if no one has suggestions, then I'll buy one on the 'net.
thanx for any info...

[Warrior Alien]

Just a simple question: which track in the ROTK soundtrack contains the music when the Rohirrim charge the Orc army on the fields. It sounds like a combination of the Rohan ("The King of the Golden Hall") and Hope ("Last March of the Ents") themes. Thanks in advance.

[Periantari Andruil]

I think it's either "Ash and Smoke" or "The Fields of Pelennor" ... amazing :thumbs: (probably the latter)
i love the whole RotK soundtrack! omg... it's sooo amazing!!! :whoohoo: sooo emotional... ::must watch RotK several more times before the week is out:: :p

What's everyone's favorite track? i really love them all. :stomper: :thumbs:

[Bregalad]

I thought the soundtrack was FABULOUS!!! I was a late convert to it (bought FotR a few months after the movie came out, thinking it would be just another normal soundtrack)... but for the second and third movies, I bought the soundtrack before the movies came out.

My favorite tracks:
The Bridge of Khazad-Dum (I'm a sucker for weird harmonies)
The King of the Golden Hall (the Rohan theme)
Minas Tirith (the end of the track is heavenly...)

[Elfdaughter]

I think it's the Ride of the Rohirrim.


As for favorite tracks... all the Elvish ones (I love them!)

I also love:

Aniron
A Journey in the dark
Lothlorien
White Rider
Helm's Deep
The Hornburg
Forth Eorlingas
Isenguard unleashed
Twilight and Shadow
Ride of the Rohirrim
The Black Gate Opens
Return of the King

[crazycoconut]

I love all three movie soundtracks... they're all just so beautiful...

Favourites from FotR:
The Ring goes South
May it be

Favourites from TTT:
King of the Golden Hall
Forth Eorlingas
Isenguard unleashed

Favourites from RotK:
Minas Tirith
The White Tree
The Steward of Gondor
Return of the King

I think I like most of the songs from all 3 CDs... But those are my overall favourites

[Periantari Andruil]

Favorites from RotK
Minas Tirith --the trailer song and how they put that into the movies was great...i love that theme...one of my overall favorites
Into the West --sadness indeed... so calm and peaceful i hope Annie Lennox wins Oscar for this
Grey Havens mecry (enough said) hehe
Ride of the Rohirrim --it's beautiful...just beautiful
The Return of the King 10 minutes of heaven :grin:
Shelob's Lair --omg sooo intense, so scary so suspenseful!!! :stomper:

i love mostly everything but those are the ones that stick out the most in my mind :grin:

[Pil]

Is it just me, or does any one else have to skip over the track with the dead marshes music in TTT soundtrack when listening to it??? it freaks me out so much i really cant listen to it, esp. if im alone in the house!!! :o :( lol

[Gwaihir]

Yeah I skip it all the time... I skip quite a few of the tracks in fact. The one I have never really listened all the way through is "Treebeard". That one is too dull for me. :)

[Elfdaughter]

I skip The Dead marshes, Treebeard and Shelob's lair. Way too scary that one!! lol

[Feebeefi]

I love all three soundtracks!!!The music is so wonderful and calming!
The other day my mum was ill so to make her feel better I put all three soundtracks on in order and she said they madeher feel better!ENOUGH SAID!

I have a question though.In the ROTK Soundtrack,which part of the film is the music of Ash and Smoke??

[Elfdaughter]

Hmm.... Well, here's a quickie, it's a quote from a livejournal:

00:00 - 00:02 sound *just* like another of my favorite scores; guess the quote and get the music geek crown. 00:54 brings back the idea of the NAZGUL for a short time, and it pops back for a second at 02:20, and then at 02:36. SWEEPING DRAMATIC BIT at 02:58; I'm almost entirely sure it's the same one from TTT although it's 3 am and I might just be hearing things.

I think it's actually when Denethor kills himself. I'm not sure. Oh well, yet another reason to watch it again!!

[Calmacil]

I love the soundtracks! I love how scenes from the movie pop up at different times while you listen to it. It's also really soothing to listen to while studying, and I don't get as frustrated. I can't decide which one I like more.

[Periantari Andruil]

i have a question regarding how they arranged the order of the RotK Soundtrack...
It didn't seem that they went by the movie in terms of arranging the songs... for example, Minas Morgul happened before Steward of Gondor. The same could be said of "Twilight and Shadow"... it seems that both TTT and RotK soundtrack orders are different from how they actually play out in the movies... why is this?

[Erebwen Cristaer]

Ok, I don't know the names of most of the tracks, but I know the numbers. I own all three soundtracks, and they get me through my tough times, without a doubt!!!

In TTT, I like track 8 the best, but I also really like track 5 (I think that one's the Uruk-Hai), and anything dealing with Helm's Deep (I think tracks 16 and 17?)

I listen to the RotK soundtrack at least once a day, and always when I'm reading. It's the best soundtrack I've ever heard!!!

In RotK, my favorite track is 17, but I also really like (I think) 15, when Frodo and Sam are climbing up Mount Doom, track 8, and track 19.

I REALLY like a part in track 2 (Hope and Memory), but I have a gripe about the movie here. I bought the soundtrack a full two months before I saw the movie, and when I heard track 2, I always imagined something having to do with Aragorn and Arwen, maybe a horse or running, maybe in a flashback. All that happens during this piece of music in the movie was Gandalf and Pippin riding out of the stable, so I was VERY disappointed here!!! I know this isn't a movie thread, so I'll be quiet now.....Just wanted to throw in my two cents.....

[Erendiel]

I just bought all three for my birhday, but it is hard to get through them without getting all emotional.

I don't know about the order of the songs, I would think that it has to do with variety.

[Nessa GreenLeaf]

i have the first and second one
i love them especialy when aking a bath its good music to relax to and i know the scens for each song sooo if i close my eyes i can see the movie

my fav songs are with the woman sining... they have voices like angels

[Cosmic Aurora]

ooh goodness, I'm so obsessed over all the soundtracks! I even find it hard to part with them if a friend wants to borrow it!
From the FOTR soundtrack, I absolutely loved Concerning Hobbits, The Ring goes South, The Council of Elrond, A journey in the Dark and The Breaking of the Fellowship! From TTT, I loved any of the Rohirrim songs! And Lastly, from ROTK...goodness, if I had to pick my favourite song, I'd be listing the whole entire soundtrack! I guess i Like the last CD a bit better than the first two might be because I'm emotionally attached to it! :grin:

[Pil]

i think i'm more attached to the fotr soundtrack...i mean...it really sums up for me how my lotr fascination grew.....just hearing concerning hobbits makes me feel like i am in year nine again....*wistful* :p

[Lady Galadriel]

I just placed an order on Amazon to get a special edition set with the three movie soundtracks. Apparently it comes with 18 cards of scenes from the movies. I cannot wait for it to arrive.

[Lady Galadriel]

Got them and I absolutely love FOTR soundtrack. Every last song is brilliant. The music is so soothing. I always was drawn to the music that plays when Saruman is breeding the orcs and it is great music. I especially love the part where the music for the breeding of the orcs plays then it switches to Gandalf sitting on Orthanc and the serene singing of cuts in for the eagles as he whispers to the flying insect to summon the eagles. I also always loved the music that plays when the Nazgul is on the screen. FOTR ROCKS.

TTT I love too although the music is not as soothing. A few of the songs are soothing but most are battle songs I assume. Breath of Life, Evenstar, Leave Taking, Forth Eorlingas, Isengard Unleashed, Hornburg, and Gollum's song are my favs.

ROTK is splendid too. I love Into the West, Twilight & Shadow, ROTK, Grey Havens, White Tree, Minas Tirith, The Steward of Gondor, End of All things and The Black Gate Opens. The Black Gate Opens has that lovely flute music that plays when Sam is holding Frodo on the side of Mount Doom. These soundtracks are so wonderful.

[Periantari Andruil]

::listening to May it Be:: and utterly chilled by her voice.. i'm liking this song more and more lol

For me, i don't know why.. but Two Towers is my favorite followed closely by RotK and FotR... the TTT soundtrack has such wonderful tracks as Forth Eorlingas, The Hornburg, Riders of Rohan, King of the Golden Hall, Evenstar, "Isengard Unleashed!" that are just so wonderful... All tracks seem to be unique and every track is so catchy. =) :thumbs:
i thought that RotK had a lot of blend from the previous soundtracks... for example "Return of the King" has In Dreams and Concerning Hobbits within it too... And in the beginning of "The Fields of Pelennor" you can hear a drawn out version of "Isengard Unleashed" i think =)
I love the RotK soundtrack a lot though and it's growing on me day by day...:thumbs:
all the soundtracks really rock :rock:

Yay for Howard Shore!!!!! entdraught :hooray:

[Lady Galadriel]

Goodness Periantari Andruil, I am trying to decide bwt ROTK and TTT which I prefer. Hell, they are both great. That violin music in the Evenstar song ROCKS. I listen to it over and over and I am beginning to wish that I could play the violin. :)

[Lady Galadriel]

Anyway, I forgot to say that I have to listen to TTT more. I think the more I listen to all three cds the harder the decision is. They are all great.

[Lessa]

I think I have to agree with the listeners to Classic FM in the UK. They voted it the best film music EVER.
I would add to that and say that it is probably my all time favourite classical music.

Lessa

[Lady Galadriel]

I think all three soundtracks are wonderful. I believe FOTR soundtrack and theme is closest to my heart because the story began with the Fellowship members and follows their stories. But they are all great soundtracks.
