THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE MOTION PICTURE TRILOGY SOUNDTRACK<\/strong><\/p>\n

Limited-Edition 6-LP Boxed Set Features The Soundtracks To All Three Films In The Acclaimed Trilogy On 180-Gram Vinyl<\/p>\n

Available From Rhino On November 30<\/p>\n

LOS ANGELES –\u00a0The Lord of the Rings<\/em>\u00a0trilogy remains one of most successful films in cinematic history. Based on the popular J.R.R. Tolkien novel of the same name,\u00a0The Lord of the Rings\u00a0<\/em>was directed by Peter Jackson and features a score composed by Howard Shore. The trilogy earned a total of 17 Academy Awards\u00ae, including three for music. Beyond critical acclaim, the music from the films also enjoyed wide commercial success, collectively selling over 7 million albums.<\/p>\n

Following the recent deluxe sets that featured\u00a0The Complete Recording<\/em>\u00a0from each film, Rhino will introduce a limited-edition set that includes the original soundtracks to all three films. THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE MOTION PICTURE TRILOGY SOUNDTRACK will be released on November 30 as a 6-LP boxed set ($134.98). The 180-gram limited edition LPs will be housed in a collector’s box that has a leather-style spine.<\/p>\n

The music for all three films was composed, orchestrated and conducted by Howard Shore. His music was performed by the London Philharmonic Orchestra and the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra, with contributions from two choirs: London Voices and London Oratory School Schola.<\/p>\n

The Fellowship of the Ring<\/em>\u00a0soundtrack was certified platinum in the U.S. alone, and sold extremely well around the world. It won the Academy Award\u00ae for Best Original Score, as well as the Grammy\u00ae for Best Score Soundtrack Album. It includes two original songs written and performed by Enya: “May It Be” and “An\u00edron (Theme for Aragorn and Arwen).”<\/p>\n

The Two Towers\u00a0<\/em>soundtrack was certified gold in the U.S., the U.K. and Canada and won the Grammy Award\u00ae for Best Score Soundtrack Album.<\/p>\n

The Return of the King<\/em>\u00a0soundtrack was certified gold in the U.S. and the U.K. and won two Academy Awards\u00ae for Best Original Score and for Best Original Song with “Into the West” performed by Annie Lennox; two Golden Globe Awards\u00ae for Best Original Score and Song; and two Grammy Awards\u00ae for Best Score Soundtrack Album and Song Written for a Motion Picture.<\/p>\n

There’s probably never been as ambitious a film score as Howard Shore’s 10-hour epic for the “Lord of the Rings” series… the music is rich and complex, drawing on a vast range of styles and exotic instruments to evoke J.R.R. Tolkien’s world… Shore uses an elaborate leitmotif technique (where musical themes are associated with specific characters or ideas, and are developed across the entire series) to hold the sprawling tale together. Lush, beautiful and full of intriguing surprises, it’s no wonder that it’s become one of the most popular film scores ever written. – Stephen Brookes for the Washington Post, May, 2008<\/em><\/p>\n
