Scott Oscar® Winner	Interesting indeed. Funny, I am currently re-reading the whole saga. What a wonderful epic it truly is. The writing is so poetic. Shame they don't write like that anymore. Scott

Marian Schedenig Oscar® Winner	Perhaps an unisono male chorus singing "Ash nazg durbatuluk" when Bilbo takes a look at the ring in the beginning? wiping drool from keyboard A longtime Tolkien fan? Worked on the score while the script was being written? Wrote the songs himself? Used Middle Earth's languages in the score? WHAT MORE COULD WE WANT!? NP: Michael Nyman - Live

JJH Oscar® Winner	Gonna be an amazing score, as I predicted when I first heard Shore was the MAN for this job. 8th and 9th century music as an influence. Gotta love this musicological approach Shore is taking, much like Rozsa did with some of his Roman scores. This is why I believe he is one of the best composers and musicians today, film or classical, or otherwise. okay, I'm done. NP -- Vertical Limit, JNH

Marian Schedenig Oscar® Winner	Be sure to read the complete article (there's a link at the bottom of the page that Brian linked to above). Though they seem to have mixed things up a bit, saying that the Dwarvish lyrics for the Moria sequence are based on "an Ancient Elvish text" - from what I've read before, they translated a passage of the book (where's the point in translating an Elvish text to Dwarvish). Anyway, it was SHORE who decided to have Dwarvish lyrics! That alone shows that he knows what he's doing. Christmas will indeed come early this year.

Marian Schedenig Oscar® Winner	Enya IS Working on LOTR Music! "her song is covering the closing credits, it's in English, and the backing is a full orchestra with various interesting percussion (tam-tams etc) and a large choir humming" Sounds good to me. Apparently, she collaborated with Shore on the song, so I'm confident again that it will be right for the film. English lyrics, so it probably rules out the Elvish songs. My guess: Could it be "The Road Goes Ever On And On"? Various interesting percussion could mean that it's a shire song, and that one was written by Bilbo, after all. "The Road..." is one of my favourites, anyway - that song alone captures the spirit of the story so perfectly. Could somebody please put me in hibernation until December 19!!

André Lux Oscar® Winner	This score will be great. Finally the talent and the craftsmanship of Howard Shore will reach a major league! I don't even care about the Enya song, since they will obviously use her to attract the feminine audience which are the majority of the fans of Enya'a insipid and shallow tunes and don't care much about LOTR as males does.

Marian Schedenig Oscar® Winner	TWO Enya tracks on the soundtrack. Hm, two different songs? Or a movie version by Shore and an album version by Enya of the same song? [Message edited by Marian Schedenig on 10-02-2001]

Marian Schedenig Oscar® Winner	Yeah. Wouldn't it be great if they released a 2CD set? Very unlikely, but I bet people would buy it without hesitation. NP: Return to Oz (David Shire)
