OMG bloomheadgirl I am going to do "in dreams" too!!!! I love playing it on my piano sometimes when I finish I go straight back to the star continuesly, I love playing rohan on my piano too!!!!
to MUSE5= A gcse is a very important exam that you take in year 11, we have subjects like english (I have welsh in my school too) science and maths that we have to take and then we can choose some of our own, on of them i took was music and so I'm taking my gcse exam in music ok?
When FOTR was announced and they had Shore's name listed at the composer, I was highly disappointed and miffed that they did not choose John Williams. John Williams imo is the master composer of our generation and was skeptical of the music.
I bought the FOTR cd the day it came out and listened to it ever day in anticipation of the movie coming out (I even made my crew at work listen to it every night). The music grew on me immediately and the anticipation of opening night was boiling over to see how the music played in the movie.
After listening to both cd's and watching both movies, I think John Williams would have done an excellent Job and capture the movie, but I have noticed lately that Williams repeats certain passages in his movies now. There is nothing wrong with this, after writing so many movies it's bound to happen. Even the great composer Bach stold from his other massses while composing new ones (Bach composed 2 masses per weeks for many years plus raised a family of 17 childrend if I remember right).
I think for these movies there needed to be new blood, and Howard Shore was the correct chose as the composer. He will be forever known as the great composer of The Lord of the Rings Trilogy. 🙂
I didn't know piano books exist! That would be very cool, do you know whether you can buy them in Europe? Since there's music for violins too, is there music for cello's too?
My favourite piece of music of FotR is from the extended version, when Frodo and Sam see Elves pass by in the forest. It's elvish and beautiful...
Hm yes I also heard about that.
Something about it was said by one of the "official" people.

Yes, but it's very expensive.
For cellos? No idea
I love that song (if you mean "A Bereth thar Ennui Aeair..."😉 I'm so sad there is no full version on the soundtrack.
A found a site where you can download it but only the part that is heard on the Extended, nothing more (and not so good quality).
