  1. I'm not convinced of that, remnember the OST CD has been severly edited, you cannot use that as a guideline for were music is supposed to be in the film.

    I'm pretty sure the opening of Forth Eorlingas was composed for the scene of Gandalf's appearance.

    Yes, but some sequences were left unedited (Foundations Of Stone; The Leave Taking), and at present I'm inclined to believe that it was meant for Helm's Deep. (where it actually fits into the final cut of the film; with Gandalf's appearance, there isn't enough time for the full piece, and it would segue oddly into the music for the fight with the balrog that can be heard in the fan credits anyway...IMO) But we're both just speculating... :)

    That's Orc music, not Balrog music.

    I stand corrected. :angry:

    I doubt that, I think Shore just liked the opening for Arwen's Fate and included it into Evenstar for the album.

    It's possible that it was intended for there, but it *is* looped, and Breath of Life *does* fit perfectly over that scene, and makes perfect sense thematically since it uses "The Diminishment of the Elves". Maybe it's an alternate, but I still say it's tracked. :)

  2. Well, I don't think it's what he meant, but TTT, at least, has a few cases of tracking. Off the top of my head:

    A section from Weathertop is used when Treebeard stomps on the orc that was trying to kill Merry and Pippin.

    The end of Treebeard is tracked into Gandalf's appearance in Fangorn. As are the opening twenty seconds of Forth Eorlingas.

    Some of the Balrog music is used during the warg attack. The opening of Evenstar is tracked(?), and then looped during the "Arwen's Fate" scene, and part of Gilraen is used there as well. (the original score for that scene is heard in Breath of Life)

    And of course, "The Last March of the Ents" at Helm's Deep.

    But that's a sidetrack, I'm not sure what he meant...

    At first, I thought you were referring to the cue in which Frodo scales the orc tower. Then I remembered Aragorn's "For Frodo" scene. Both are pretty cool, although I prefer the former.

    Yeah. Should probably really call the one at the Black Gates The Eagles Are Coming or something..

  3. Mine won't arrive till tomorrow. :)

    Of course, if they do mention a Two Towers date on the official site, I could only assume we'd have to add an extra two or three weeks to whatever Reprise announce.

    Actually, probably not...TTT and ROTK are unlikely to have the same last minute legal technicality to delay them that FOTR had.

    Dan Goldwasser has mentioned late spring for TTT, and next winter for ROTK more than once.

  4. From Variety, as posted at FSM

    Tackling Spielberg's "Munich" forced Williams to do a musical 180, he says. "It couldn't be more different from 'Geisha' in ambiance and texture."

    For it, he created "a kind of prayer for peace, a lyrical composition associated with Avner (Eric Bana) and the home he leaves behind in Israel," and another theme for solo voice and orchestra "that accompanies one of several flashbacks to the tarmac at Munich, and also one of several scenes that recall the abduction of the Olympic athletes from their rooms at the Olympic Village" in 1972. Lisbeth Scott, the vocalist on "The Passion of the Christ," is the soloist.

    Searching for an authentic Palestinian sound, Williams employed the oud, a Middle Eastern lute, and added the cimbalom, a Hungarian zither, as well as clarinet and strings for "an almost fantastically Oriental quality," he says.
