I see Dom Monaghan performs on RotK...oooh, another drinking-song! Hmmm...maybe no throat-jumping! Rather on-desk-hopping!

PS: Post 800! Yuppee!

You know, the cast performance I really missed from the TTT:CR was Bernard Hill. Granted, it was a recitation, not sung, but it would have been absolutely so incredible to have that included.

I doubt they'd interrupt the music; it just wouldn't flow well on CD form.

And I love the fact that LOTR takes advantage of the fact that it IS a film rather than just a story from a book and gives us these wonderful poetic montages (like "Where is the Horse and the Rider?") with great choral passages and so much emotion.

I have some memories of pieces like the lighting of the beacons and shelob's lair and I've been tempted to play them over the last few months. But I've held off. If anyone is interested I'd suggest going on a RotK diet over the next few weeks - it's easy now that we have 6 hours of score already.

All the best,
ruckus

What if they'll give us most of the important infos about the CR on Friday,only to hold back the juiciest surprizes that shroud ROTK:CR:a statue of Howard Shore(it could be nice),an Alan Lee breath-taking painting of...musical notes(for example) in elvish characters(on the box set),an autograph from Doug Adams perhaps, a singing Pippin doll or a hobbit-size flute.

indeed! There haven't been many podcasts lately from Film Score Monthly. Can we expect any coming up Doug? A ROTK CR focused one would sound about right!

I suspect that may be apparent in the track titles...when we get to see them.

September 7th - deadline for the final booklet! So, Doug, how many words do we get??

I've seen The Last Mimzy yesterday (still love the score!) and there were two teenage-girls sitting in the row in front of me.
During the Credits, one asked the other: 'Howard Shore? Isn't that the guy who scored the Lord of the Rings?'
Answer: 'Nah, the Lord of the Rings score was composed by JOHN WILLIAMS'
Of course, I told her she was wrong, but she didn't believe me and insisted: 'The score ist so brilliant, it HAS to be John-Williams-Music!!'
Another guy joined our argument and told us, he was pretty sure it wasn't John Williams, but 'another unknown guy' *ouch* but not Shore, it was 'a rather long unpronounceable name', so he couldn't rememeber it... *sigh*. Though they were quite convincing, I'm still *pretty* sure, that it was Maestro Shore <HR size=1></BLOCKQUOTE>

This is the reason we all should carry a LotR soundtrack album with us at all times. Thus we can just point at the name on the cover to prove to the ignorant and less informed who actually has composed these wonderful scores!

Freiburg i. Br., Germany -

Earlier this evening, police were forced to break-up a fight that had broken out when some ignorant 14-year olds attributed Howard Shore's music for the Lord of the Rings films to famous German composer Hans Zimmer. The teen had unwittingly made the remark in front of a local well-known fan of Shore's Ring music, who corrected him on his mistake. The teen and his friends maintain, however, that nobody but Hans Zimmer could have written such "awesomely great" music with "those deep drums and choir shouting in Latin". When the LotR fan produced a copy of the soundtrack, with the name Howard Shore written clearly on it, the teenagers said nobody can write such great film music. In fact, there were no composers beside Hans Zimmer!

The LotR fan exploded at this astoudingly dim-witted comment and beat the teens through the streets of Freiburg with a metal chain to the 5/4 rhythm of Howard Shore's testified "awesomely great music."

Of course, now that I've written this, Doug will make the announcement within the last minute.

...though i'm sure i read somewhere the words "7th" and "press release" in the same sentence.Maybe it's november.

Well,FOTR:CR's press release was on the 16th of September with a release date on November 22nd,postponed to December 13th.
TTT:CR had the press release on September 12th with a release date on November 7.
So,FOTR:CR was released 88 days(67 initially) after the press release and TTT:CR after 56 days.Considering the fact that the time between the press release date and the actual release day shrank,we will probably have to wait less time for the ROTK release after the press release;maybe somewhere around 40 days.But we'll now this anyway in a few days time i suspect.

Regarding this,i think that the press release might also take place earlier than last year;in the next 3-4 days perhaps.If so, we will have ROTK:CR somewhere between the 17th-20th of October.

There is.
