Music that reminds you of LotR - Page 3

Yeah baby! I like James Horner's work. Didn't he do some StarTrek movies?

I think I just remembered something...

Way back in the deeps of Time, before many of you walked this earth, indeed, before your parents looked on each other with gleaming eyes, back, back, back, I have cast my mind through the mists of memory...

What about the Canadian trio, Rush? Seems to me they did a Tolkien inspired song or two!

Anyway, the music I mentioned is finally up at the site, in Rivendell, as you all probably know

.

I especially liked the original midi for Bree!

i reckon 'the rights of spring' is the best for that particular part of the book because it was written when Stalingrad was under siege and 500,000 people died: very immotive like the book.......

any comments?

BLIND GUARDIAN

An awesome power metal band. Their last album was titled 'Nightfall in Middle-Earth'.
The albums has 22 tracks (11 songs and 11 short spoken tracks). The album tells the tale of the noldor and the battle aganst Morgoth.

The Dance of the Tumblers from Snow Maiden is a piece that always reminds me of maybe hobbits or something. Or the elves, the way the act in Rivendell when Bilbo first encounters them. Playing it in orchestra always puts me in a really good mood!

Why thank you, Gil. I'm working on some more LOTR midi's.... don't know when I'll get around to finishing them, though.

And I even said that BEFORE there was an election!

I've become very fond of Enya and also of instrumental celtic music for reading fantasy.

Sheryl Crow's "Safe & Sound" always gets me thinking of LotR, and so does Enya's music as well.

What music reminds you of LotR?
BMilder asked many moons ago

Smetana's "The Moldau." That wonderful, sad but beautiful main theme reminds me of Aragorn's nobility and sadness, and towards the end when the theme is played with joy, of him entering Minas Tirith as king. Also, there's a waterfall in it that reminds me of Rauros, and towards the end a battle, and at one point towards the end of that the horns are blowing notes so clear and triumphant, the first time I heard them, I thought: that's how the Horns of Rohan sounded in the morning during the Battle of the Pelennor Fields.

cool!

Ms. Undomial · 11-22-2002, 11:01 PM

um.... proboly "Mars laser escape" I forget who the artist is but it is really good music and sound alot like rivendell, and lothlorien.

Coney · 11-22-2002, 11:17 PM

Peer Gynt's Morning will always remind me of Lothlorien and The Halls of the Goblin King will always bring forth memorys of Bilbo when he became seperated from Gandalf and the Dwarfs

The Lady of Ithilien · 11-28-2002, 03:34 PM

Actually, I just learned that "The Moldau" has its own built-in story. Sigh. If passionate love of country were the deciding factor, Czechs, bless them, would rule the world.

It's online via ChoiceDM's classical channel; they have a preprogrammed selection. I forget which number it is, perhaps the eighth or ninth selection, by the Vienna Symphony Orchestra. Perhaps some of the other classics mentioned here are there, too, further down -- I've never listened to it for more than an hour or two at a time. Would like to hear "Pavan for a Dead Princess" again, especially -- loved it many years ago. Then, it reminded me of mountains, but yes, I can see it for Arwen, too.

Where might I find "Mars Laser Escape"? Sounds interesting.

Help! I typed in Choice DM and got some kind of health food links.
What should I look for it under?

Miranda · 11-28-2002, 04:31 PM

All the celtic songs of my homeland (Ireland) just remind me of everything elven. I can see them sitting around and singing the really beautiful gaelic songs that I love. They also remind me a bit of Aragorn jsut in the way they seem so free but with a hidden burden. "she moved through the fair" reminds me so much of his relationship with Arwen. But anything celtic and I love it. Mx

Celebrian · 11-28-2002, 08:31 PM

There is a song that I play in band, it is called Jupiter. It is really pretty and remindes me a lot of LotR. Mostly the end, when Frodo sails away. It is actually quite similar to a song that is in the movie, the theme when the company is paddling down the great river.

BeardofPants · 11-28-2002, 11:13 PM

James Horner? Geez, that guy lost any respect he had after the Titanic soundtrack.

I can't decide who is worse: Howards Shore, or Horner....

***Khamûl*** · 11-29-2002, 01:29 AM

Celebrian, are you talking about Jupiter from The Planets by Holst? I love the middle section of that song.
