If I had done then I don't remember being particularly impressed, and I was certainly disappointed with the score walking out of the cinema. See BB! You completely misjudged him.

KK 3,307 Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 I remember freaking out when I first heard the samples for "Under Hill" and "Brass Buttons". That brief glimpse at those brass clusters oozed awesomness. 3 hours ago, Incanus said: So has your heart cooled from those times? What is left of your love now?

Sounds somewhat the same but isn't. This information proved useful to me, 4 years later. Listening to the AUJ soundtrack right now, and that similarity suddenly just struck me and away I went searchin'! Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aj_vader 535 Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 I think Shore personally pushed for the LOTR CR's to be released, maybe he's not happy with the Hobbit Trilogy and isn't pushing for them to be released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chen G. 3,974 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 It sounds very baroque, indeed. That’s the point of the Laketown theme (as well as the Master’s). It’s also one of Howard Shore’s most memorable and hummable melodies, that’s for sure. It also helps that this is one of the film’s most assured parts: it deliberately slows down to let us become somewhat invested in Laketown so we understand Bard’s objection to the quest. That's what I like about it: That the argument that is set up against our protagonist's conviction (and yes, the protagonist is Thorin) is not a strawman. How many adventure films undermine the very premise of the adventure, as this one does? But than, to me, this film specifically is full of happy takeaways. Not only is it my favorite of the three, It’s also the only film out of the sextet that I often just want to watch and proceed pop-in; the others I typically only watch as part of a marathon viewing.

gkgyver 1,646 Posted December 27, 2018 Author Share Posted December 27, 2018 I don't remember this being answered. Was Gandalf's confrontation with Sauron in DOS ever scored? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,423 Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 What do you mean? It's at the end of the "A Spell of Concealment" OST track. Maybe I don't understand exactly what you're asking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holko 9,543 Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 The part that got used for Gandalf running around with Azog before finding Sauron syncs up wonderfully with the Gandalf-Necromancer duel before Sauron is revealed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better: Pretty much all of it syncs up realy well actually, and I think it reacts to the cuts and events in a way consistent with how Shore scored the LotRs, with the unnoticeable flourishes, and the whole thing being a duel between Gandalf's motif and darker material.

Chen G. 3,974 Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 I'm pretty sure it is meant for the scene it actually scored in the film: the confrontation with Azog and the chase immediately preceding the encounter with Sauron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,423 Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Huh. This shows you how little I remember the film despite how much I love the score. I don't even remember that scene I'm pretty sure this music was intended like the video shows. Why would Shore use a huge version of Sauron's theme for some Azog chase and not for the big Gandalf/Sauron confrontation like shown here? I always assumed Bloodboal basically got everything right in these videos: http://www.jwfan.com/forums/index.php?/topic/23483-the-hobbit-score-restored-unused-howard-shore-music-restored-to-picture/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,423 Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Ahhh I understand everything now. GK first asked about "the confrontation with Sauron" and I thought he meant the bit that his big theme syncs up to, like in both videos. Whether the music before that part is for the Azog chase or the black and white battle.... surely @Jim Ware or @Doug Adams can pop in and say?
