KK 3,307 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Without Lord of the Rings, Williams' career would never have lifted off. He's been wearing a one ring replica around his neck since he read the book. And he's been plotting Shore's death ever since he got hired to score the films.

KK 3,307 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Williams forged the one baton to rule them all to cast his everlasting shadow over all film music. Unfortunately Hans Zimmer created an alliance with his fellow synth programmers and overthrew him. Today, he is known as Towner the Accursed, or Towner the Emotionally Manipulative.

He is also the only wizard among our order who actually carries a wand."It may also seem that a long time ago in The Second Age he had defeated and overcome a very powerful Ainur simply known in the common tongue as "The Pony-tailed One", a being whom many would recall as one of the Dark Lords of rhythm and harmony. Turtleneck defeated Ponytail with a simple flick of his wand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted January 5, 2013 Author Share Posted January 5, 2013 I am sorry but you got it wrong.Jerry is Common Speech for Eru meaning "The One", or "He that is Alone" and Goldsmith translates as Ilúvatar which signifies "Father of All".

crocodile 8,000 Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 From what I remember it is widely believed Horner in the ancient Anduinic meant "He Who Can Summon The Dead". However, other scholars disagree pointing at the obscurity of the language, which causes a lot of translating problems. The other version is that it means "He Who Never Changes". As you can see there is a substantial difference.Giacchino, on the other hand, is quite simple. It means "The Usurper".Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
