Jay 37,352 Posted November 7, 2014 Author Share Posted November 7, 2014 The Thorin theme in Sons of Durin sounds similar to the one in A Forest River (it even goes into the pulsing music from the forest river at the end). Will this be the third film in a row where the awesome action mode of Thorin's theme isn't used in the film? Probably not. Seems the digital version will be released November 28th. Wow! The Amazon DE site says Friday Nov 28, while the other 3 European Amazon sites that have samples up says Monday Dec 1! http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00PBEN6P6 http://www.amazon.de/dp/B00PBEES2Q http://www.amazon.es/dp/B00PBC9TAY http://www.amazon.it/dp/B00PBB6GVU Odd that all 4 sites only have samples for the SE and not for the Standard.... I remember back when the AUJ samples first hit, on qobuz, we got the Isengard Theme in the White Council standard version sample but not the SE sample.

Incanus 5,714 Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 So there is basically nearly 100 minutes of score from the film plus the song and the 6 minutes of bonus material from DoS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, I dunno why Doug Tweeted that "Dragon Sickness" is from DOS. Sounds all new to me. Thrain, though, for sure is a DOS Cue. Shame they only included that as a bonus track, and not the other EE cues (Beorn Intro, Mirkwood, World of Men, Weapons Raid w/ Prophecy Scene) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I would think Doug knows something perhaps that we don't about the release and which belongs to where. If we can't trust him, who can we turn to? Conrad Pope?

KK 3,307 Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 09 A Thief In The NightWhat the!? The incidental music from Barrels Out Of Bond returns... so I guess Shore has turned this in a new Burglar theme for Bilbo? Even though he already had a different one in AUJ? Weird!Yup. So I assume it confirms that the theme in AUJ is actually Thorin's Pride then.Anyone find the choral recording in "Bred for War" a bit strange (as great as the music is)?And based on DoS, the percussion instruments in NZSO just don't have the natural timbres and organic sound of the LPO.

Faleel 5,346 Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Just curious, Why?My Unexpected Journey is fine.It's not bad per say, but it just never clicked with me. Maybe that's because it was at the origin of the overuse of the word "unexpected" with everything Hobbit-related, from reviews (An unexpected disaster, an unexpected masterpiece, etc.) to merchandise (An unexpected extended edition, an unexpected figurine...) and even JWFAN threads (An Unexpected Poll)! Enough already with the word "unexpected"!Its completely Tolkien though.That portion of 'Bred for War' after the Woodland Realm theme sounds rather like the music when Bilbo begins climbing the stairs at Rivendell in the AUJ:EE (as heard in 'The White Council').That's the "Bilbo climbing stairs" motif!See my post above.

Jay 37,352 Posted November 7, 2014 Author Share Posted November 7, 2014 I've actually never liked "An Unexpected Journey" either. I love the dual nature of hte first chapter of Tolkien's Book titles - An Unexpected Party for The Hobbit and A Long-Expected Party for The Lord Of The Rings. But I don't like that the filmmakers took that and made up An Unexpected Journey out of it. Unfortunately I can't think of better subtitles for all 3 films myself, but I'm not a huge fans of any of the ones they chose, other than There and Back Again, which of course they dropped.

Barnald 365 Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 A Bilbo climbing stairs motif eh? That works. Of course, it would probably mean that he must follow Legolas and Tauriel all the way to Mount Gundabad to witness the mobilisation of Azog's army, but stranger things have happened.

Faleel 5,346 Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 The full title of this book is The Hobbit, or There and Back Again..... although Bilbo had written and crossed out several other titles: My Diary, My Unexpected Journey, There and Back Again, And What Happened After.http://www.communizine.com/2013/12/18/33-things-you-probably-didnt-know-about-the-hobbit/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incanus 5,714 Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Blame Fran Walsh! She came up with the title for the first film.But returning to the first score, AUJ seems now like some kind of return to Middle Earth experiment play ground where PJ tried a lot of stuff musically with Shore and in the end decided against a lot of obviously initially approved musical concepts. Bilbo's theme didn't work, Radagast's music was too colourful in a distracting way etc. DoS seemed to hold much better in compass in comparison although music was still massaged in the normal post production fashion.

Faleel 5,346 Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 So Thrain is indeed from the Desolation of Smaug EE. Wow. Some great stuff in there. Loving the return of the Uillean pipes in Ironfoot! Seems to be a lot of incidental music from the DOS soundtrack being elaborated upon, eg the escape from mirkwood buildup material appearing in "There and Back Again".Some fabulous action music in Battle for the Mountain and To the Death. Love the development of Thorin and Erebor in The Ruins of Dale, Sons of Durin, and The Fallen.This is going to be a great piece! Don't care much about the film, but colour me excited for the score.Nice to have you back Tanny! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crocodile 8,006 Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 These sound good. Pity that the extended soundtrack is not longer. I wonder how long will the standard version be there. 80 minutes on two CD's?Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faleel 5,346 Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 I think Dain's theme might just be my favourite of all the new ones. Such a step up from the Erebor bonus track.I cannot agree. while the use of bagpipes is better handled here, the theme is a little nebulous for me right now, though that could just be because its just a 30 second clip.
