SUH 65 Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 I came across this interesting concert work on Shore’s official website. https://www.howardshore.com/rentals/i-roderyn/ Does anyone know what this piece is? From tabla in the instrumentation and the word ‘Wood’ in the title I am thinking it could be Woodland Realm theme related, however with the year being 2012 and the picture being the ‘An Unexpected Journey’ soundtrack, it seems it’s based on music from the first Hobbit score. It seems odd that there’s barely any information about it online and the title seems unfamilar (with no relation to any of the OST track titles). A google search for ‘I Roderyn’ and ‘The Noble Wood’ returns few results, and they don’t appear to come from the source novel. I wonder if ’I Roderyn’ is an original Elvish translation by David Salo, it sounds like it could be from the translated lyrics to ‘The Feast of Starlight’. The piece can be rented from Lucks Music and appears to have been performed by the Berklee Contemporary Symphony Orchestra in 2016 and the Rhode Island Philharmonic Orchestra in 2017.

TolkienSS 407 Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 Is this related to the piano book version of The Woodland Realm? There's a theme suite in there that's not on the OST. Maybe Shore wrote this for a version of An Unexpected Journey which still included the Mirkwood stuff, before it was three movies. SUH 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faleel 5,350 Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 It's basically The Woodland Realm + Beyond the Forest + Feast of Starlight https://www.radiofrance.fr/francemusique/podcasts/le-concert-du-soir/week-end-howard-shore-compositeur-du-seigneur-des-anneaux-8958467 SUH and Monoverantus 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Jim Ware 526 Posted May 17, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 17, 2023 It's a fun little tenth anniversary piece. Shore was writing the Tauriel and Kili material almost ten years ago to the day on May 19th 2013. He started writing the score proper on May 28th 2013, beginning with the entrance to the Woodland Realm.
