Editorial Reviews :
Score composer Howard Shore has informed this first installment of the Lord of the Rings trilogy with his distinctly modern sensibilities. Revolving loosely around a brief, heroic brass theme, this epic is infused with a powerful rhythmic thrust and a musical range that encompasses centuries (from the Renaissance pastoralism of 'Concerning Hobbits' to the fiery, Prokofiev-influenced drama of 'A Knife in the Dark'). Key to the score's sense of mystery and magical place are the rich choral passages that are interspersed throughout, some so ominously gothic they make The Phantom Menace's 'Duel of the Fates' sound almost sunny by comparison. Enya's contributions ('The Council of Elrond' and the song 'May It Be') add a sense of organic tranquility, but it's Shore's Wagnerian-scaled orchestral score that should long be cherished by admirers of film music and hobbits alike.
Buyer Reviews :
Composer Howard Shore has produced a musical landscape as far and wide as Tolkien's Middle Earth for THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING soundtrack. Much as cultural styles were varied for all the different races and places, Shore has composed playfully and lightly for the Hobbits, darkly for the Orcs, grandly for the battles and all along the scale for all the other musical emotional moments.
The use of Celtic vocals is gentle and well-placed. The Oscar nominated single by Enya 'May It Be' rounds out the collection.
