Chen G. 3,953 Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 I...may have been (falsely, falsely!) accused - multiple times! - of having had a tryst with one of my lady co-hosts - lets just say I was listening to a lot of Tristan! ... but other than that, I've been on my best behaviour, honest! Oh, and maybe on the last watch party (which I attended drunk) I may have called the showrunners out on a bluff on-air. Maybe... But other than that...!

By the time the show was established, successful and admired, his music set its own expectations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were definitely some exotic instruments, not least of which include scraps of airplane. On 12/10/2022 at 3:17 PM, Jay said: although he didn't come up with concert arrangements with full A,B,C sections and bridges Are you sure about that? I haven't listened to the live album in a while, but I assume he had to put some additional structure on them for concert performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,376 Posted October 17, 2022 Author Share Posted October 17, 2022 I meant while the show was on the air, he wasn't writing concert arrangements and recording them with the orchestra to put on the soundtrack releases. All the albums are entirely made up of cues from the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smeltington 1,441 Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 I made a "reduced text" version of the artwork for Shore's main title for my music library. Attached for anyone else who might find it useful. Chen G. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Monoverantus 363 Posted October 20, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 20, 2022 At last, we have confirmation that the opening credits were made with Shore's track in mind: https://www.denofgeek.com/tv/lord-of-the-rings-of-power-secret-code-opening-titles/ "Bashore and Crawford weren’t able to see any of The Rings of Power while working on the title sequence, and “only got a verbal description” of specific story elements from its showrunners. Thankfully, the pair did get to hear the haunting title theme composed by Howard Shore in advance of putting the opening sequence together, something which they both considered a key piece of its overall success. “[As soon as] they chose the concept, that was the first question. It was like, we need music right away because this thing will fail [without it]. So that was the first thing we did was really, really push for the main structure of the music.” “Because it’s born from sound— I mean, that’s the idea,” Crawford chimes in “You’re seeing sound visualized. So, they had to be together and Howard Shore was great in [helping with] that. We sent him an edit in-process and he tweaked some things and added some requests and things that we had asked. So, he was very kind and adjusted a little bit to help us with this vision of trying to make this world.”" artguy360, Jay and Chen G. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WampaRat 1,105 Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 Terrific as to be expected. Excellent analysis. I love the examples of “Shore-isms” in his non-LOTR works (works that, admittedly, I haven’t taken the time to truly appreciate) The whole closing argument on the genius of the simplicity of Shores title theme is well expressed. And I find the opening visuals to be the perfect compliment to his music. Cant wait for your future interview with Bear 😊 Monoverantus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, yes and yes! Its as old as Beethoven who uses - what - open fifths to open the Ninth? And then we have, a-propos scales, one of the most sublime moments in all of music: the orchestral interlude of Wotan's Farewell is, what? just a rising scale. Funny, that... Been waiting for this video since the track first surfaced! Monoverantus and WampaRat 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post WampaRat 1,105 Posted October 21, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 21, 2022 I can’t recall on which thread someone asked for this. I believe they wanted some artwork that didn’t have the actors faces on it. Here you go. Nothing fancy. Created a single version for those who only wanted Shores main title.
