    Thanks Diego, for sending those clips in. I quite enjoyed listening to each of those clips, and I think together and individually they evoke Middle Earth and their particular subjects very well respectively.

    Gollum's Cavern is deliciously mischievous. There is a definite pastoral quality to the second cue, which I take it accompanies the Hobbits as they journey as a group of four for the first time. The Gondor cue builds into an expansive piece that I can imagine would sound great in a live orchestra. Lastly there's Isengard - from a nice opening through stabbing percussion and choral accompaniment with a motif rounding out the piece that reminds me of the 5 note ostinato from Williams' Duel of the Fates . There is a real touch of Goldsmith to the last piece.

    Are you planning on building further on the four movements?

    Sounds nice.

    This is what a more traditional score could have sounded like in the movie.
