Howard Shore's The Desolation Of Smaug (Hobbit Part 2)
Derrick replied to gkgyver's topic in Tolkien Central
It reminds me so much of Bilbo's Song from ROTK, I could actually imagine a development into what we already know from LOTR in TABA. The theme in Beyond the Forest just sounds like a more heroic rendition to me, less introverted and retrospective. Just speculation to this point but I like the idea.- 7,481 replies

I think Shore really succeeded on the material for Smaug. These rythmic, almost ticking percussion parts combined with brutal low brass really define Smaug's character - intelligent, sneaky and purely evil. Amazon.de says December 6th in Germany. Let's see ...December 6th sounds good, I know what I'll be doing next weekend- 7,481 replies

Err, well... you'll find there's quite a bit of discussion about that around these parts. Hm, I know. I hope someday someone will enlighten us.- 7,481 replies

I'm curious about the degree of Pope's involvement. If he worked on the bigger part of the orchestration, he really did a great job - it sounds very coherent (even the wild flutes fit perfectly ). Or was he just engaged as Shore's delegate during the recording sessions to struggle with PJ's mad decisions?- 7,481 replies

I can't help myself but the so called "Tauriel theme" feels more like a theme for Bilbo's journey to me, especially the final statement in "Beyond the Forest".- 7,481 replies

Agree, it somehow felt like they were trying to imitate that awful RCP sound, way too much bass.- 7,481 replies

I like the way Shore tortures the Gandalf theme in "A Spell of Concealment". Btw what do you guys think about the mix ... I think it's way better than AUJ, I didn't really appreciate the dry sound of Abbey Road.- 7,481 replies
