Lord of the Rings Soundtracks: Discuss - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I saw a box set at Wal-mart for all 3 CD's, but it seemed to be to inexpensive to actually be THE Howard Shore versions. Is there any other version? Would be safe to buy and enjoy? Thanks y'all!

There's actually a symphony for LOTR we played the movement called "Gandalf" in band, but I think it's only one CD. The one at Wal-Mart probably was the Howard Shore version. Even if it's not the symphony is awesome. I'd say you'd be safe in buying it.

I, unfortunately, bought one of the soundtracks by "The New World Orchestra" thinking it was nice and cheap but it turned out to be completely synthesized. It's not nice to listen to and it's now hidden away never to see the light of day again.

Good grief, there isn't a soundtrack on sale from...*sinister voice* the cartoon films are there?! Horror!

There is, I've seen it myself at Wal-Mart, a soundtrack of...

Dramatic Music: *DUN DUN DUN*

the Cartoon version!

The Roast: Neigh!

Frightening, is it not?

Frightening? Oh yeah. Yeah, I'm scared...

I also played Gandalf and I loved it. Gandalf is from the Lord of the Rings first symphony by Johan de Meij (Dutch). I have the CD, the symphony is half an hour long and I think it has five movements (songs) Gandalf,Lothlorien,Gollum, a journey in the Dark, and The Hobbits.
The orchestra is no other than the London Symphony Orchestra and I like the CD a lot.
Loved playing the easy version of the first symphony.
