Bofur01 245 Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Please forgive me if this is known/has been discussed already, but isn't the section of music at 0:54 in Sons of Durin very reminiscent of that edited out section of the Forest River, where Bombur is hacking orcs up in his barrel, and jumps into a new barrel in the river? A new theme, or just a reference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,373 Posted February 29, 2016 Author Share Posted February 29, 2016 Isn't it Thorin's Theme that plays under the Bombur In A Barrel bit? See here, starting at 5:45 https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1NAd4WEjm_DRlptZTRNUm84YVU/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bofur01 245 Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 I was meaning 6:06 onwards, just to be specific... I could be wrong though ? In the BotFA EE, via tracking, it's used twice for Bofur on the troll, maybe something to do with Dwarven heroics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faleel 5,359 Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Bofur, I think that is actually a variant of the Erebor theme (the first two notes especially) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bofur01 245 Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 This is probably a pretty boring observation that is either wrong or doesn't mean anything but I was just listening to TTT again, and couldn't help but be reminded of the Ogres' motif by 3:58 onwards of "The Wolves of Isengard"... just found it pretty cool they sounded so strangely similar, if only in shape...

gkgyver 1,645 Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 I find myself coming back again and again to Battle For The Mountain. The first 3 minutes are quite frankly among the best Shore has ever written. Dain's theme there is pure magic. I would die to hear an extension of that. Too bad the film ruins it.

Yes if only there had been a chance for Shore to give it more workout in the subsequent scenes. Now it is confined in two pieces in the score and the end credits.

How does someone try to make one studio sound like another? They tried to recreate the Orchestra set up by positioning everyone the same way, which makes no sense, because no matter how you organise the instruments, you're not going to make a concert hall sound like a recording studio.

Of course, they pretend they did everything to have DOS and BOFA sound exactly like if they had been recorded at Abbey Road, to have the same sound as AUJ, but let's face it, those two scores sound nothing like the first one. I wonder how Shore feels about the sound of these scores. Did he approve it? I'd have a hard time believing that. Some cues sound too dry, others sound too wet, others just sound like shit... Yeah. I was reading some old threads on here, and a lot of people were essentially going with the line that the Shore was on board with the decisions made regarding moving the recordings to NZ and bringing in Pope. I can't blame them, that was the official line back then, but now I wonder if opinions are changing on what really went down. Middle-Earth is Shore's life work. Like Jackson, it's what he's going to be primarily remembered for. Also like Jackson, it's unlikely that nothing he does from here on out will surpass it in greatness or popularity. And Shore just hands all that over, willingly, to someone else to finish it? Again, I just don't buy it. gkgyver 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
