Jango Fett 0 Posted November 29, 2002 Share Posted November 29, 2002 Yesterday somebody came to me and asked me if there were any midifiles of Lord of the rings, composed by Howard Shore.I've done some research but yet again I came up empty. Does anybody has a clue if they exist :? If they do were can I find them?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsawruk 0 Posted December 7, 2002 Share Posted December 7, 2002 I am currently working on trying to transcribe parts of the FOTR score for full orchestra. A few of things though:1) I am not just taking this music out of the book. The book serves as an aid, but I still need to figure out a lot of things by myself, including orchestration and tracks not in the book.2) This takes time, lots of time. I have just started.3) I do not have the lyrics for the most part. I will not attempt to transcribe the lyrics I don't have, yet will keep the notes listed as "wordless choir".4) I will make these available as MIDI files but only if you email me. I will not post these online. Sorry.5) Which tracks would you like first? I am currently working on The Prophecy and Concerning Hobbits. Flight to the Ford and Breaking of the Fellowship are also high on my list.6) I can only transcribe the tracks on the soundtrack CD. I cannot transcribe other musical elements from the movie not on there, nor music from the extended cut unless someone tells me how to isolate and rip a music track from the DVD.That's all. Will keep you posted. Let me know if you're interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jango Fett 0 Posted December 7, 2002 Author Share Posted December 7, 2002 Wow jsawrukPlease take your time. I've tried to make midifiles on my own so I know how much work it involves especially when you don't have to found things out on your own.But than again I'm not that musically gifted!I'll send you an e-mail via your website.

I will not attempt to transcribe the lyrics I don't have, yet will keep the notes listed as "wordless choir".Some text you can find in the booklet included with the CD. Mine versions has, I don't know about yours 4) I will make these available as MIDI files but only if you email me. I will not post these online. Sorry. That doesn't mind I'll send you a mail 5) Which tracks would you like first? I am currently working on The Prophecy and Concerning Hobbits. Flight to the Ford and Breaking of the Fellowship are also high on my list. I especially like the prophecy, but also the bridhe of Khazad Dum 6) I can only transcribe the tracks on the soundtrack CD. I cannot transcribe other musical elements from the movie not on there, nor music from the extended cut unless someone tells me how to isolate and rip a music track from the DVD. There is in fact a thread on that at:http://www.jwfan.net/modules.php?op=modloa...iewtopic&t=1916KraMB - The passage of the Marches TTT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsawruk 0 Posted December 7, 2002 Share Posted December 7, 2002 I'm all for other transcriptions as well. I have started most of episode II, and would like to do TTT when I get it and maybe some others. Again, it takes time. I'd say a 3 min track could easily take a month to transcribe unless I worked very hard at it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsawruk 0 Posted December 29, 2002 Share Posted December 29, 2002 I have started my first serious transcription since I did episode II. "Foundations of Stone", off of the Two Towers. I currenly have about 30 seconds worked out.I cannot get a good tam-tam sound on my synth, so that part will not be in the MIDI file.If I can keep this rate up, I might have it done in two weeks. I'm just lucky that it starts out fairly light in texture. Thankfully, the rest of it uses some ostinato, which always helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ren 75 Posted December 29, 2002 Share Posted December 29, 2002 it has been brooding on my mind,are the eighth notes (or whatever) in the ring motif a quintuplet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ren 75 Posted December 29, 2002 Share Posted December 29, 2002 never mind. i believe it is two sets of eighth notes as triplets starting on the second note of the first triplet. not a set of 5 eighth notes barred together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross 1 Posted December 29, 2002 Share Posted December 29, 2002 Huh. That's weird. I know I can compose on my Nokia 3330.Are you sure you've checked the "Tones" menu thoroughly?-ROSS, who knows cellphone technology in the US is years behind Europe.

Ren 75 Posted December 30, 2002 Share Posted December 30, 2002 i thought i had checked the tones menu, is there any little hidden words i should be looking for???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross 1 Posted December 30, 2002 Share Posted December 30, 2002 Umm, let's see, in the Tones Menu you're supposed to get the following sub-menus:1. Ringing Tone2. Ringing Volume3. Incoming Call Alert4. COMPOSER5. Message Alter Tone6. Keypad Tones7. Warning Tones8. Vibrating Alert9. ScreensaverIt would shock me if you didn't because your cellphone is more advanced than mine, at least according to their number (mine's 3330 and yours 3360)-ROSS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsawruk 0 Posted December 31, 2002 Share Posted December 31, 2002 Here's the themes from FOTR I transcribed. Should help. Hobbit theme is a pain because of all the ornamentation, so its only 98% accurate at best.If you like this, I may do this for other scores as well. I'd like to have a library of JW themes in music notation online... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted January 4, 2003 Share Posted January 4, 2003 Looks great, but how a shame I cannot read notes.Ren, if you ever manage to find out how to compose on your phone, could you please lemme know how to punch in the Fellowship Theme on a Nokia.

Kradia 1 Posted January 4, 2003 Share Posted January 4, 2003 I have a Nokia 3390, it has COMPOSER too. I access mine throught main menu. TO REN:Do you have anything else besides Profiles under Main menu, It says on the nokiausa site that you can have Composer using PC suite??Maybe it's a separate feature.My main problem is the notation composing:the legato? What is the term for a tie of two notes that are different, not the same....is it legato? Sorry I forgot my music theory..... :oops: Jsawruk: good job!!

csiaspam 0 Posted January 4, 2003 Share Posted January 4, 2003 I love to transcribe songs in to MIDIs, I know all the MIDI tricks to make it realistic, but it takes sooo much time. I think it would be a fun project to transcribe a soundtrack, but I got so many composition assignments to do as it is. :confused: I'd love to join in and help, but oh well. Just let everyone know of your progress and when you finally finish. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kradia 1 Posted January 8, 2003 Share Posted January 8, 2003 Stefancos, do you still need the translation to input LOTR ringtone or do you have it now?Which way do you want, the regular Nokia code, or "punch in the numbers/symbols only" code?

Kradia 1 Posted January 9, 2003 Share Posted January 9, 2003 Ren, I checked the http://www.nokiahowto.com/ and it looks like you can get composer only if you have the infrared function and PC suite.Do you have those features on your phone?Stefancos, do you want someone to send it to you or post the translation here?I think I can post if Jsawruk will let me use his transcription as a basis.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted January 9, 2003 Share Posted January 9, 2003 Please post them here Kradia, so others can use them too.I already have a nice Ringtone of The Fellowship theme. (Thanx Mr Alfonso)But i'd like some of the others as well, so I can program my phone to use different ringtones for different callers (Frodo's theme for my girlfriend, Mordor Theme for my suster, that kinda thing) As for the code type, i'm not sure what type i used for the Fellowship Theme, but it wen't a little something like this.8a1 4.d2 4c2 16c2 16c2 2d2 8- 16g2 16a2 4a#2 16a2 16g2 4f2 16g2 16a2 4.g2 4f2 8e2 4.d2 4c2 16c2 16c2 2d2 8- 16g2 16a2 4a#2 16a2 16g2 4f2 8g2 4.a2 4e2Hope you can help.Stefancos- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kradia 1 Posted January 10, 2003 Share Posted January 10, 2003 To Stefancos8a1 4.d2 4c2 16c2 16c2..............Mr. Alfonso did a good job, by the way This,above, is the regular way to write Nokia code. Another way to write is the number code. For example: Let's use the song "Mary had a little lamb". Standard Nokia Code: 4e1 4d1 4c1 4d1 4e1 4e1 4e1Number code: 3 2 1 2 3 3 3You still get the same song, it's just a different way to write it.Both codes have their good/bad points. You had said that you didn't know how to read notes, so I just wanted to let you know of that other option.I think I can do Frodo's theme (or someone else can do it).......i'll post it later...What is the Mordor theme?

Ren 75 Posted January 11, 2003 Share Posted January 11, 2003 what phones do you have that you can just type in the code?????i found out that i can't do it PERIOD because my computer doesn't have an infrared port built in - you can't buy them. and my phone doesn't accept a data cable.

Kradia 1 Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 Here's a rough version of Frodo's theme:Standard Nokia Code:8d1 8e1 4#f1 4a1 4#f1 4e1 2d1 4- 8#f1 8a1 4b1 4d2 4#c2 4a1 2#f1 4e1 8d1 8e1 4#f1 4a1 4#f1 4e1 2d1 8- 8#f1 8a1 2.b1 8b1 8a1 8#f1 2e1Tempo: 80-100Hope you like it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 Thankx Kradia, i'll try that out ASAP.BTW, with the Mordor Theme i'm talking about that theme associated with Sauron and Barad Dur.Stefancos- who thinks that menacing paganistic theme could make a heck of a ringtone.
