Howdy Mikko!
Just a quick PS on the "Prophecy vs. MDF" debate. Here's what Doug wrote on the topic (and which I referred to a couple of days ago):
"Shore's score begins with "The Prophecy," utilizing an ensemble of amassed instrumental and choral forces in a confident and powerful display. The cue functions somewhat like an overture, though displaying an array of ensemble colors rather than a parade of themes -- dramatically and musically the perfect choice." (The entire piece is here: http://www.filmscoremonthly.com/articles/2001/15_Nov---Lord_of_the_Rings_CD_Review.asp)
Hope you're well. Ta & tata, CK

Hi Kühni!
I keep getting Prophecy and Prologue One Ring to Rule Them All (Alternate) constantly mixed when I talk about them in my posts as they are one and the same, the former just a truncated version of the latter. I usually refer to the longer complete composition in terms of content though.
And yes I remember Doug's initial review very well. We should bear in mind that this was the early days and even Doug makes a few thematic mistakes in there (e.g. calling the Five Beat Pattern music for the Ringwraiths etc.) although his thoughts on Prophecy are very astute indeed.
