I would have kept Christopher Lee in the theatre version and shortened a battle scene - but that is my preference.... I wouldn't be surprised if there was a "personal" thing - after all Lee was probably the most serious Tolkien fan among the cast and had met him - you can imagine potential tension.....
The music - well if it was simply not quite right for KK, I see no reason why Shore would not do the Hobbit -PJ is cleary happy with his take on Middle Earth if not giant apes...
