    I'm not sure if Bear's underselling himself here, because he never mentions that the chords used to make Annatar appear so angelic are all exclusively picked from the Eregion theme:

    Aha, I see I'm sure there is, but as far as MuseScore samples go, neglectable.
  7. Monoverantus
    There is a Taiko in MuseScore, in the Unpitched Percussion library (you gotta pick from "All instruments", not "Common"). Side drums are interchangeable with snare drums. Well, it's the Mt Doom chords. DmM7-Bbm in A Conspiracy Unmasked and Am-Fm in The Sword that was Broken.

    This reminds me a lot of Gabriel's Oboe.

    You're not wrong @Richard P, we've all assumed this to be the case based on this segment of the Annotated Score: Which is apparently incorrect, @Jim Ware?

    You say that, but the two statements aren't just copy-pasted to different keys. The first is unambiguous, with the half-step melody gliding between the third and fourth of the chord (you could say it goes A-Asus4-A, although I think that's overdoing it), but the second clearly doesn't, or else you'd have to argue we're in G major. Also, it would seem a bit off for Shore to end his original Gondor Reborn composition on C with the intention of resolving... to C.

    Excellent work! An interesting bit of trivia though, the second statement of the Destruction theme is technically not over C major. There's just Es and Gs in different ranges, meaning that the above B-C-B melody imply an Em-C-Em progression (although just mostly avoiding a dissonant B over C)

    That second half of the Journey There theme makes me nostalgic for the old BBC Narnia series, personally.
  23. Monoverantus
    Many thanks! Yeah, I've been meaning to have another chat with him for a while, about both TRoP and GoW, but been a bit otherwise pre-occupied. I'm actually surprised to see none of the other guys (Nerd of the Rings, In Deep Geek, Corey Olsen) have had him back either.

    I think what Shore really means when he says there's no seventh chords in LotR, is that there's no chords with seventh (read: dominant) function. Of course there are the occasional major or minor seventh chords and chord clusters that can be read as sevenths, ninths et cetera, but V7-I or V7-i cadences happen exactly 0 times AFAIK. Also, speaking of seventh melodies, I wanna shout-out the rare exception:

    I think Aragorn and Gimli clearing the gate of the Hornburg deserves a mention as well.
  28. Monoverantus
    I listened to that and still don't hear it.
  29. Monoverantus
    Excellent! Very well put together. Speaking of this track, does anyone actually hear the Descending Thirds under Sauron's theme or are they just a LtP addition?

    It's true, you really get the process step by step. Removing the metal from the furnace, pouring it into the mold, opening the mold, and then presenting the finished rings.

    Ran across this article which makes a very good case for what the lyrics in Lament for Helm are: https://thijsporck.com/2024/12/16/old-english-songs-in-lotr-the-war-of-the-rohirrim-2024/ Interesting observations include changing Bealocwelm (evil death) to Beaducwelm, which means death in battle.
