I had been writing for a magazine about film and television music called Film Score Monthly I was assigned a Howard Shore interview years back before any of this happened, and he and I had gotten on very well. It was actually an invitation from Howard Shore. How did you first become involved in covering the scoring of the trilogy? Pro Sound News spoke with author Doug Adams about the book and the recording of the enormous score. Helping add to the enthusiasm people have for the score, this fall has seen the release of The Music of the Lord of the Rings Films, a fittingly huge book that details the creation and recording of the music, complete with a unique ‘rarities’ CD of demos, unused cues and more. That soundtrack has taken on a life of its own in recent years, often performed live to film by Switzerland’s 21st Century Symphony Orchestra in a semi-touring production that has played around the world. Peter Jackson’s The Lord of the Rings trilogy is a powerful piece of filmmaking, in no small part due to Howard Shore’s epic score of more than 11 hours of continuous music.
