Incanus 5,713 Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Keep Russian stylings away from Lake Town I say! No balalaikas! It could be only worse if there were bouzoukis in the score! There is no indication they are portrayed as anything even remotely Russian and they are actually related to Rohirrim as both are part of the larger group of Northmen.

Incanus 5,713 Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 What culture would you like them to resemble?We have actually very little info on the Lake Town and the culture of that people and how PJ is going to portray them in the films. A few glimpses of Lake Town itself and the Master, Bard and Master's lackey.I think a mix of Norse and Central European elements would be a good combination. Tolkien himself thought them belonging to the same cultural group as men of the Dale, Rohirrim's ancestors and the Woodmen of Mirkwood. Naturally all of them had their own cultural traits but I would like to see some common elements with Rohan, like rich woodcarving motifs in the buildings etc.Dale looks somewhat curiously South European.

David Ferry Jr 4 Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Hello! Don't know how I've missed this thread as I live and breathe Shore's Middle-earth music daily. Do I have to scroll through this entire thread to find out what people are thinking about the score not being performed by the London Philharmonic? Everyone is completely freaking out about Shore not doing all of the orchestrating and conducting but why is no one discussing this? To me this is a much bigger issue. Especially considering that in every LOTR documentary out there he makes it a huge point to emphasize the London Philharmonic having the perfect Middle-earth sound.
