Inhalt:
Howard Shore's Academy Award-winning score for The Lord of the Rings has been
hailed as among the greatest film music ever written. Sweeping in scope, it
is an interpretation of J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth as music --- an
operatic tapestry of cultures, histories, languages, and principles. The
Music of the Lord of the Rings Films takes the reader on an unprecedented
journey into the heart of this history-making opus with extensive music
examples, original manuscript scores, a rarities CD, and fascinating glimpses
into the creative process from the composer himself. Includes: Foreword by
Howard Shore Introduction by Fran Walsh Sketches by John Howe and Alan Lee
Includes Exclusive Rarities CD of unreleased LOTR music Color stills from the
films
