Again, the Fellowship theme gradually comes together before appearing in a string of full heroic statements as the whole company travels and struggles.

Starting in 2005, a year after the extended release of The Return of the King, Reprise Records began to release one multi-disc set for each part of the trilogy. [10] Otherwise, the only instance of music outside of the narrative is done by means of tracked music, featuring the Moria motif being applied by the filmmakers to the Warg attack in the Two Towers instead of Shore's original intention. Recordings of the score were originally issued on single-disc albums, that closely followed the theatrical release dates of the films or presented earlier versions recorded during the film's editing. The music of the Dwarves is antique and stoic, often orchestrated for brass or low, rough male voices (in times replete with grunting voices). On the soundtrack, it starts by a solo flute playing the theme, followed by a solo violin and then the complete orchestra repeating this theme. The book contains a detailed look at the themes and leitmotives in the film's music. Furthermore, in creating The Hobbit scores Shore would not only add another 62 themes or more, but actually went on to reuse some isolated musical gestures from the Lord of the Rings scores, turning them into leitmotifs after-the-fact, adding up to over 100 leitmotifs used in the Lord of the Rings trilogy alone, and 160 when combined with motifs of The Hobbit. The music is stepwise and calm, with old-world modal harmonies to evoke familiarity. The cover artwork uses common elements for the three albums like the film series' logo and an inscription in Tolkien's tengwar letters.

The appearances, the music, and the story are also based on J.R.R. The original recordings used multiple sopranos, and Shore originally intended to use numerous such soloists for the Lord of the Rings, covering the range from mezzo soprano, through lyrical soprano to Coloratura parts in the third score. Tolkien, the writer who created the world of Middle-earth, has published various, contradicting thoughts on their origins. Azog was the name of an Orc chieftain who lived in Moria from about T.A.2480 to 2799. Shore requires a large assortment (as many at eight) snare drums of various sorts, including deep field or marching snares, a military drum with rope snares, and shallow "guillotine" snares. Even as the members of the Fellowship bicker with Eomer, Shore starts to mingle the Fellowship theme and Rohan's theme. The scores contain multiple distinctive variations and fragments of themes, as well as other recurring figures, that do not constitute leitmotives, but nevertheless merit mention.

It is conducted by Ludwig Wicki and Erik Eino Ochsner[106] and was performed around the world, including Switzerland, Australia and the United States.[107]. Limited Deluxe versions of the Original Soundtracks were also released, with bonus tracks covering Farewell to Lorien (from the Extended Edition) and the song Use Well the Days, as well as a documentary (made by Shore's wife, Elizabeth Conotoir, following Shore's creation of the music and his work with the soloists and director.

This trend was followed in the documentation of The Music of The Hobbit, with a 10-minute HD documentary of the score to An Unexpected Journey and a 40-minute one for The Desolation of Smaug, as well an episode of the production diary being dedicated to it. The book for "The Music of the Hobbit films" is due to be released in late 2017. This suite has been performed in various concert halls around the world, accompanied by a light and visual art show by Alan Lee and John Howe. The background of each album cover differs though in that it shows an aspect from the map of Middle-earth drawn by Christopher Tolkien that fits the title of the release and the location of the plot: The Fellowship of the Ring depicts the Shire, Rhudaur and Eregion in dark red, the cover for The Two Towers shows Rohan and Fangorn in dark blue while The Return of the King shows a map of Gondor in dark green. He envisioned the scores to all three films as a through-composed cycle, a grand opera told in three parts,[note 1] involving a large network of leitmotivs, large choral and orchestral forces (including additional "bands" of instruments besides the main orchestra), frequent use of singing voices, both in choirs and through a wide ensemble of vocal soloists. The choral piece for Saruman's duel with Gandalf can be seen as a relative of the Servants of Sauron theme (in the Lord of the Rings Symphony, Shore clarifies this connection by attaching this piece, in full, to the end of the composition "The Black Rider"), and even the choral Outburst "Mettanna!" The scores go on being performed by choirs and orchestras around the world as symphony pieces, concert suites and live to-projection concerts. Shore, in specifying the drumsticks, also calls for the rattle to be used to hit the bass drum in the Moria sequence. An Orc Critiques Sauron’s Plans! Only from the later half of the Two Towers and into Return of the King are the themes of the world of men presented in more heroic settings. This material acts in direct contrast to the Shire material, as both thematic families are similarly constructed with multitude of principal themes, and of secondary motivs used as accompaniment figures, some of which (like the skip-beat accompaniments motivs of each thematic family) are even constructed similarly. However, there are other motivs in the score, in three forms: themes that don't recur in the films or The Complete Recordings but do recur in alternate forms of the soundtracks like the original soundtrack or rarities; motivs that are distinctive variants or components of existing themes, and other recurring gestures which aren't leitmotives, but are nevertheless important to the narrative aspect of the score; and pieces of music (mostly diegetic music and musical sound effects) that were not written by Shore but are nevertheless used in conjunction with his score and reappear thematically. The scores were written in a 19-century operatic idiom, making full use of a large symphony orchestra, world-music instruments, full choir and vocal soloists. It is hinted at subtly in. [66], Also, the diegetic music[67] and musical sound design in the film[47][68] features additional instruments such as banjolele, harmonium, hurdy-gurdy, goblet drum, castanets, Jew's harp, rommelpot, zither, cowhorn, dungchen, bells, and possibly congas, bongos,[69] hasapi and a home-made Đàn-bầu.[70]. 1 History 1.1 Origins and early Years 1.2 First Age 1.3 Second Age 1.4 Fourth Age and Beyond The Elves were content and dwelt long under the stars of the forest near Cuiviénen.
