gkgyver 1,645 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Hm, not sure.My Dear Frodo feels less stitched together than the Prologue from Fellowship, and is a bit more diverse in colour, but the FOTR one has the Ring theme, which is hard to beat.Tie.

KK 3,307 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 I think they're both great cues, but the FotR prologue has greater thematic presentations and I still love the awesome snares.Having said that, there are other cues that can compete with LotR material in The Hobbit (ex. Out of the Frying Pan). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faleel 5,359 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 I think The Prophecy would be a better match.I vote The Hobbit, it has an awsome snare march as well (one of the Dwarf themes, either Erebor or Thorin theme) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incanus 5,716 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Prologue from FotR. Even though many think it sounds stitched together I have from the first listen in the cinema thought it was such a brilliant overture that draws you inside this world and gives you a taste of things to come. Plus it has that pitch perfect use of the History of the Ring theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandor 797 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 This one was never a favourite of mine, because it relies heavily on the History Of The Ring theme, which I'm not the biggest fan of.It's become my favorite theme from the franchise, followed closely by the nature theme.

KK 3,307 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 How can you not like the Ring theme BB? It pretty much forms the foundation of half the themes in the score!The FotR prologue just acts as a more enticing overture with greater themes presented IMHO.

crocodile 8,019 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Ha ha! I can almost picture Shore sitting at his desk and thinking: "I can spend my afternoom writing something new and fresh that will be fondly remembered by the awkward crowd of film music fandom.... Or I can just copy and paste something I already wrote and spend the rest of the day drinking beer and watching some football with Hans!"Back to the subject, though...Tough choice... On one hand the LOTR piece is part of my fond memories of watching the first film and, like many said, introduced a lot of now famous material. One the other hand, it is not as effortless musically as its original version (as heard on the Rarities disc) or in fact The Hobbit opening...Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faleel 5,359 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Another reason why I'm not really fond of that theme is that I think that there are many vastly superior themes to be found in the score: the Gondor theme,. I find the History Of The Ring theme to be pale in comparison with these.You must prefer the Original version of "The Argonath"/"The Fighting Uruk-Hai" then I do agree that sometimes History of the Ring doesnt get varied enough, but I like the extended statement in "Foundations of Stone" and the statement in Sammath Naur.

BLUMENKOHL 1,068 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 My Dear Frodo is better music. End of story. It flows much more smoothly, it covers a more diverse range of music while doing so, and The action is more exciting as well, drawing on the best Lord of the Rings action music like Khazad Dum and Glamdring stuff. The action in Prologue/One Ring to Rule Them All sounds very awkward and inelegant.If you suppress your nostalgia, there is only one answer here, and surprisingly it's losing.Name me one section of Prologue/One Ring that sounds as wonderful as the contrast of choir and the Khazad Dum-ian action following 5:29-5:42...and beyond. There isn't. It's just a variety of show of Middle Earth themes, none of which are as great as statements heard later on through the Rings scores.

Jilal 569 Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 I prefer "One Ring to Rule Them All". As said before, I think it's a great overture to The Fellowship of the Ring. I love the scene as well.I think it's quite difficult to compare them from an objective viewpoint. The main difference here is the the context of both scenes. I enjoyed both, but my preference is for Prologue: One Ring to Rule Them All. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
