The Music Of The Lords Of The Rings Films

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 peoples.

The Music of the Lord of the Rings 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.
