Nick1Ø66 4,689 Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 All The Lord of the Rings movies and scores feel like Autumn to me. There are some movies/scores/books I'll mostly watch/listen to/read seasonally. Yeah, I'm weird that way. bollemanneke and Not Mr. Big 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A. A. Ron 1,739 Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 FOTR is like the ultimate autumn score for me. I'd agree that the other two fit that feel as well though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And - "Beyond the Forest" from DOS is, without question, a song for a late-fall, early December, chilly, overcast, day, accompanied with a side of introspection. 22 hours ago, Nick1066 said: There are some movies/scores/books I'll mostly watch/listen to/read seasonally. Yeah, I'm weird that way. My wife and I started a thing of watching LOTR once a year in December/January or so. We just moved into a slightly larger house that actually has the room for a big screen, so we'll have to get a 50" and a 5.1 system before too long.

Holko 9,499 Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 So... Why doesn't the Two Towers CR include PJ playing the gong? (should be at 4:18 of Edoras, I think) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(should be at 4:18 of Edoras, I think) I guess for the same reason it doesn't include the slightly different moment for The Tales That Really Mattered for the shot of Gollum during Sam's speech, where PJ demanded a bit different chords for the right mood for that particular shot. Not Shore's original intentions or his preference. Same as with e.g. FotR's Flight to the Ford scene where the CR retains the aleatoric french horn fanfares but you can hear the film version on the Rarities disc.

bollemanneke 3,337 Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Another vital omission is Treebeard's song. Ruins the whole set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chen G. 3,943 Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Yeah, if this is supposed to be like an opera, why did they cut out the recitative parts?! The Illustrious Jerry and bollemanneke 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Incanus 5,713 Posted October 18, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted October 18, 2018 Oh rowan mine I saw you shine upon a summer's day... Christopher Lee actually does pretty well reciting the Treebeard poetry on the Tolkien Ensemble albums. In the Willow-meads of Tasarinan is a quite lovely interpretation capturing the longing for that bygone world where the old Ent had walked in his youth.

Holko 9,499 Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 I don't know how Rhys-Davies' reading obscuring The Dreams of Trees would be better - it's bordering on included dialogue. It has as much right to be on a score album as Sam's Fireworks poem or Gollum's Fish Song. At least all the included cast performances really are sung and the score works with/around them brilliantly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holko 9,499 Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Call it what you want but it's Rhys-Davies reading a poem with nothing more musical about it than its rythm and some vocal embellisments. Are you really upset that his noisy creaking and taking breaths isn't on your music disc to obscure a cue as lovely and sweet as The Dreams of Trees? Narration counts for what? As what? What?
