I have started some threads like this in the past - I love the music of the trilogy so much. I listen to the score on a regular basis. I, too, connect with these songs not only because they remind me of the movie and the characters, but I feel a deep spiritual connection with these songs, and many of them have the overwhelming power to cheer me up in the worst of moods. I also feel that these scores echo to the heart of the book - the real deal. Real stuff.

Being a lover of music years before the score, I'm sure enhanced my appreciation of the music. I would like to add my own praise to classical music - the feelings I have felt while listening to certain pieces by various masters (and I include the trilogy soundtrack in there) are so deep and powerful, that I probably haven't felt them with any other music, save The Beatles. Hits a heartchord. Music, music, music...I love you!!!

Then, we should add some classically-phrased rock music to enhance the upcoming Hobbit movie. Let's reword a Queen song to better fit the Hobbit theme:

The Boromirion Rhapsody (by the Morthoron Snipe and Griping Choir)

Is this a Wraith's knife,
In this, my fantasy?
Caradhras landslides
Are my escape from reality.
Sauron's one eye
Looks down from on high
And sees -- N.Z.

Gollum just killed a friend,
Put his fingers 'round his throat
After he fell out of the boat.
Gollum's birthday's just begun,
But now the ring has made him gone astray.
Gollum -- O-o-o-o-o-o
In Mount Doom your gonna fry,
Unless The Hobbit is released this time tomorrow,
You'll be gone, you'll be gone --
Because scripting really matters.

Hugo, your time has come,
Put back on that silly wig
While Peter Jackson does a jig.
Goodbye to John Noble and Sir Ian Holm,
By now your just too old to make the show.
Bilbo -- O-o-o-o-o-o
It just can't be McAvoy,
Perhaps they will decide on Martin Freeman,
But we don't know -- we don't know,
Because scripting really matters.

I see the Shire full of Thorins's trusty dwarves
No more Liv, no more Liv -- we can do without Arwen!
McKellan will be Gandalf, Rhys-Davies' wants no part of Gimli!
O Guillermo, O Guillermo
O Guillermo, O Guillermo --
O Guillermo script the show! Script the sh-o-o-o-w!

But Bilbo's in Limbo, no one has cast him --
N'gila! please start designing clothes -- Sew some clothes!
N'gila! please start designing clothes -- Sew some clothes!
N'gila! please start designing clothes -- Sew some clothes!
Will you sew some clothes, please go design some clothes!
Oh let her sew - sew - sew - sew - sew - sew!
Otho 'n' Lobelia, Otho 'n' Lobelia, Otho 'n' Lobelia need some roles!
Morgoth Bauglir has a goblin put aside for me, for me, for me-e-e-e-e!

So you think I'd forget about Elves at Helms Deep,
Or Denethor's fiery mile run from his keep?
Oh Peter, can't do this to me Peter --
Edit it out, edit out of the film!

Scripting really matters,
Someone make Phillipa see --
Scripting really matters,
Scripting really matters to me...
I hope The Hobbit won't blow.

(G-O-N-G)

I absolutely adore Shore's soundtracks. I went through quite a rough time a few years back and I listened to the Return of the King's soundtrack almost every night as a way to forget about things. Very therapeutic.

Morthoron- Haha, brilliant!

Did anyone manage to pick up the complete score CD's???? I totally missed my chance on TTT and ROTK... granted, I could still get ROTK for a decent price, but TTT is going for over $200!!!! *pout* Any reviews on them? I just ordered the FOTR one from B&N.com.
