Lord of the Rings music... Gosh, I love it!

I think it's Carmina Burana by Orff, but I'm not 100% sure.

 

i just started listening to it... all 25 minutes... i doubt its in there! i know it isnt o fortuna...

 

i am correct, it is no part of carmina burana...

 

only lead i have is

"Gothic Power" - Christopher Field

i got that from soundtrack.net/trailers i have no luck finding the actuall song though, if any one finds it let me know...


edit: my bad someone already said this up there, it isnt commercially available, curse my metal body, i wasnt fast enough!!!

 

According to theonering.net the three "pre-hears" that you can download from elbakin.com ARE real tracks from the actual FotR-soundtrack.

Just to clear up any confusion, the songs in question are:

- Concerning Hobbits
- Aniron
- Lothlorien


And I think they sound VERY Howard Shore-like. Remember the "Silence of the Lambs"-soundtrack?

TRAILER MUSIC:

In the second theatrical trailer which were released, the melody which is playing during the pictures below is called "Mother Africa (reprise)" It's made by Hans Zimmer and is from the soundtrack for "The Power of One".

AMAZON.COM's "EDITORIAL REVIEW" OF THE SCORE (the most interesting part has been highlighted):

Score composer Howard Shore has informed this first installment of the Lord of the Rings trilogy with his distinctly modern sensibilities. Revolving loosely around a brief, heroic brass theme, this epic is infused with a powerful rhythmic thrust and a musical range that encompasses centuries (from the Renaissance pastoralism of "Concerning Hobbits" to the fiery, Prokofiev-influenced drama of "A Knife in the Dark"). Key to the score's sense of mystery and magical place are the rich choral passages that are interspersed throughout, some so ominously gothic they make The Phantom Menace's "Duel of the Fates" sound almost sunny by comparison. Enya's contributions ("The Council of Elrond" and the song "May It Be") add a sense of organic tranquility, but it's Shore's Wagnerian-scaled orchestral score that should long be cherished by admirers of film music and Hobbits alike.


(Pretty cool!!!... don't you think?)

 

that mother africa reprise isnt the song in the trailer i just downloaded it... hmm...

 

It IS the melody in the end of the second trailer...

Did you download "Mother Africa" or "Mother Africa (reprise)". You need to download "Mother Africa (reprise)"!

 

oh... the second trailer... i thought this was about the theatrical trailer... its a cool song none the less... but the soundtrack.net said it was that gothic power or whatever... my no know.

 

What's the difference between the Lord of the Rings soundtrack and the Lord of the Rings Limited Edition soundtrack? They seem to have the same track listing...is the latter worth 10 dollars more?

 

Uh, there IS some sort of LOTR soundtrack from the LOTR cartoon that came out a long while ago, but I don't think much of the *current* LOTR music is released yet.

P.S. Can anyone direct me to the 2 FOTR songs with lyrics that everyone's raving about?

 

Me too, me too...and answer my question while you're at it.

 

Mas, those 2 soundtracks you're talking about- are they both for the *new* FOTR movie? If so, man, I am confused.

 

Yeah, here are the links:

Uh, *I* certainly don't see any difference.

 

Uh, *I* certainly don't see any difference

I do. About ten dollars difference.

 

I meant in reference to the tracks. ...Silly goose.

 

hey sithman i dont think anyone knows the song with the cool choir stuff in it...

 

Here's the difference:



NORMAL SOUNDTRACK:

Standard CD... (there's really not much more to tell)


LIMITED-EDITION SOUNDTRACK:

It's leather bound...
[image=http://img-www.theonering.net/images/scrapbook/2138.jpg]
...TOO COOL!!!

 

That's IT? Sweet monkeys, I'm ain't shelling out an extra $10 for THAT!

Sheesh...

 

There are actually more differences between the two soundtracks. You can read about them here:

TorN



(The limited edition is DEFINITELY worth the ten extra bucks!!!)

 

...Probably not for me.

 

Have any of you heard the latest clips that have been posted? TorN has posted links to "May It Be", and excerpts of "Aniron", "Lothlorien", and "Concerning Hobbits".

In short: this is one score to rule them all.

I am no longer worried about how the music for this film is going to turn out. Thank goodness, because that was one of my primary concerns remaining...

 

Here are some links. They were still active last time I checked.

May It Be (lyrics)
Aniron
Lothlorien
Concerning Hobbits

Like I said. These are short, low-quality clips (except "May It Be", which I think is the entire song) but they will blow you away.

 

Interesting clips, didn't totally blow me away, but they sound good. Shouldn't worry too much about the music though, Howard Shore has proven to be quite a talent for all different kinds of scores.

 

Click here for a review of the score with clips from all the tracks. Sounds pretty good. Looks like it'll live up to the hype.
