Howard Shore’s Academy Award® -winning score for The Music of the Lord of the Rings Films has been hailed as among the greatest film music ever written. Sweeping in scope, it is an interpretation of J.R.R.Tolkein’s Middle-earth as music - an operatic tapestry of cultures, histories, languages and peoples.The Music of the Lord of the Rings Films takes the reader on an unprecedented journey into the heart of this history-making opus with the extensive music examples, original manuscript scores, a rarities CD, and fascinating glimpses into the creative process from the composer himself.DOUG ADAMS is a Chicago-based author and musicologist. In 2001, Adams was invited by Howard Shore to observe and document his work on Peter Jackson’s motion picture trilogy of The Lord of the Rings. This book is the culmination of almost a decade of writing and research, during which time Adams attended recording sessions, examined the original scores, and was given total access to the composer’s archives.
