Howard Shore and the LOTR Symphony - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Knight of Gondor · 03-28-2004, 10:06 PM

I would REALLY want to have the entire movie score released on CD! When I'm acting out the motions of battling Uruk-hai on Amon Hen, I hate to have the music skip some stuff! Like the all-male choir when the axe-toting uruk comes down on the hobbits, but Boromir saves them by blocking the blow? Those parts were cool, but left out.

I really hope he does release them all, and I trust that all you eyes and ears out there will keep us posted.

If you are interested... I have put together a musical montage video of the Howard Shore moot. It's approx. 20 MB big, 5 minutes and 11 seconds long, and it's in Quicktime format. It'll only work correctly if you have the most recent version of Quicktime downloaded onto your computer.

I'm going to the concert at the royal festival hall in London on May 23rd. Anyone else going?

This should make an excellent end to the weekend as it's the day after the cup final. (as long as we beat the mancs on saturday)

I'm going on the 16th of April. Oooh, close!
I'm happy to hear that it was indeed a very moving and emotional performance, that's what I hope and expect.

You may want to keep in touch with someone at the symphony about a signing being done there.

Tigerlily,
I will check this out. Because I could most definitely see this happening because of the immense interest in the films up here. The Seattle Symphony is not just having one show, they are having four! But I could see them being kind of quiet about it because I know a lot of people who would be very interested in meeting Mr. Shore (not just because they would be LOTR fans, but because they are music people, and there are just not that many times where you get the chance to meet an Oscar winning conductor).

Thanks for all your information

P.S. I know this is terribly off topic but... When did you move to Detroit from Chicago?

Last summer, actually... though, I'm still in charge of the line party there. Ha! I just plan events now for when I can actually come to them. I tried giving the job to someone else, but I guess no one wants the burden (which it can be at times) The drive is not all that terrible, anyway, so I don't really mind all that much. It gives me an excuse to travel.

Well, yesterday was the premiere of the lotr symphony on the European mainland, and I was there!
It was absolutely wonderful, very moving, and the ovation Howard Shore got afterwards was overwelming.
Apparently Tolkien's great grand son was invited as a special guest, which was surprising, according to the newsbulletin here, because Tolkien's familiy wasn't too happy with the movies.

I would suggest anyone to go, if the show is near your place.
