Simon McBride 113 Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 I'm sorry if this thread already exists but I couldn't find anything. The title's kind of self explanatory. Just discuss various works like for video games, standalone music, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixon Hill 4,234 Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 The Vivendi FOTR game had nice music but I can't remember it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon McBride 113 Posted August 14, 2016 Author Share Posted August 14, 2016 Here's a playlist of the soundtrack, I've never actually played the game though, so I haven't hear it yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glóin the Dark 1,220 Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Apart from Shore's scores, the other significant The Lord of the Rings music that I'm familiar with are Leonard Rosenman's score for the Ralph Bakshi film and Stephen Oliver's for the BBC Radio adaptation. (Haven't been able to find any good examples of the latter online right now.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,351 Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 I'm not familiar with any non-Shore Tolkien music, other than having seen the three cartoons from the 70s and 80s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tannhauser 101 Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Any thoughts on Donald Swanns song-cycle The Road Goes Ever On? I'm singing it in a concert later this month Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon McBride 113 Posted August 14, 2016 Author Share Posted August 14, 2016 That was pretty good? Any particular reason you picked that one out of the other music you've written? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incanus 5,714 Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 The 4 discs of the Tolkien Ensemble spanning all or nearly all of the poetry found in the Lord of the Rings, featuring songs for soloists, chorus and instrumental pieces. Each singer is also given a character or characters whose voice they represent throughout the four CDs. An Evening in Rivendell (1997) A Night in Rivendell (2000) At Dawn in Rivendell (2002) Leaving Rivendell (2005) Some samples: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just heard a cover of it by a female vocalist playing over the soundsystem in a coffee shop the other day. This one: Gnome in Plaid 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm singing it in a concert later this month I bought it a few months ago. I just play/sing it for fun, and that's okay cause I'm not that good. I can't seem to get into Errantry, but that's just because I can't play it or sing it. Just above my skill level. Love it though. I like to study the notes in the back too.

Such colourful and descriptive piano writing. However I agree that it is quite a tour-de-force to sing and play! Bilbo's Last Song is wonderful too - there's a very beautiful recording by baritone Roderick Williams on a record called "Classic Children's Songs", which also includes Namarie.

I don't have the version with Bilbo's Last Song. It's fine though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
