Just thought it was a bit unusual not to sequence the entire thing in film order...but we really won't now what they've done until we hear the music. In any event, this release completes the most superb modern soundtrack presentation released to date, of what is certainly one of the finest scores in motion picture history.Howard Shore has created something only matched by William's SW score (OT) in scope and depth, and in many ways he has created a more unified, sweeping work. What makes listening to this music so heartbreaking is that he knew the entire story going into the FOTR score....an advantage Williams didnt have. So pieces of FOTR that are beautiful and hopeful when listened to in one sense, take on an entirely different meaning and tone when you consider the bitter sadness and suffering so many of thses characters, especially the Hobbits, will endure (and I'm thinking particularly of the Shire music here).To my mind, heart and ears, only ANH and Empire come close, and in such different ways. While Williams was able to create many magnificent scores post Star Wars, I feel that Shore will always been remembered for LOTR, and will never come this close to greatness and perfection again. Williams, no doubt, is the superior composer by any reasonable definition, but Shore exceeded himself with this, and really did create something extraordinarily special.The Lord of the Rings music, like the films, no longer belong to Peter Jackson, or Howard shore. With this release, they belong wholly to us, the fans now, and we are fortunate to be their caretakers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henry B 50 Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Two Towers is a thick and melancholy experience. The finale music, though, is incredibly rousing. It's the perfect release. And in the trilogy as a whole, Helm's Deep is the climax - Return of the King is just the denouement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henry B 50 Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Ugh. I use to like Return of the King best, but now it seems that Shore took a lighter and flightier approach (you know... a little like Williams) that did not quite do the film justice. It's still very good, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henry B 50 Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Sigh... Okay, Steef, I didn't mean anything absolute by it. Let's see. Some of the action cues in Return of the King sound a bit Williams-esque; quick key and meter changes, heroic flourishes, increased interpolation of themes (e.g. Sam storming Cirith Ungol Tower, there's a little Shire theme in there).

Henry B 50 Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 I think I've obscured my original point by answering your questions. My original implication was that fans of Williams might like Return of the King best, not that the score is a Williams ripoff or that Williams invented the musical signatures it relies upon.
