Dan writes: SoundtrackNet takes a look at the new expansive box set containing the complete recording of Howard Shore’s award-winning score to The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. “Howard Shore’s Oscar-winning, Golden Globe-winning, and Grammy Award-winning score to The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring was just the beginning of an epic 12-hour long Lord of the Rings saga that would catapult him to the forefront of the film music world. Now, for the first time, the complete soundtrack to the extended DVD cut of the first film has been released in one very pretty package. Each film in the trilogy has a different tone, but in hindsight, The Fellowship of the Ring stands out more than its successors: it is the one that introduces and develops the majority of the key themes that would come to play massive roles in the world of middle-Earth and our understanding of it.” [More]
