Gollum Cat 24 Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 I know Shore uses the piano with a chain for the Isengard material, but has he ever used it normally in any of LOTR or Hobbit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the only non percussive use I think I've spotted so far. It would be interesting if people could point out other uses (in TTT, ROTK, Hobbit). I can't hear it at all. What's it playing? 22 minutes ago, Jim Ware said: Yes. Beyond what SUH said? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least I think that is a piano. Ah, that's why I can't hear it. I'm nearly deaf in my right ear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's true, I forgot. Speaking of which, are there deep, pulsing, electronics in that track, alternating notes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should provide him with a settee or a barcalounger to make up for the thankless task so he could snore away while the rest of the ensemble is playing full tilt.

Gnome in Plaid 219 Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 To me the most audible "ordinary" (non-distressed) piano usage comes in "A Shortcut to Mushrooms" and "The Tower of Cirith Ungol," but I think it's there doubling timpani or providing low chord "depth" in a lot of the action music.

Alan 689 Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 There's some quite clear piano during the quiet moment in Parth Galen when Merry & Pippin see Frodo. Pretty sure it's being played "normally" there and not as a percussion instrument as with the Isengard material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
