\"\"<\/a>Award-winning composer Chance Thomas\u2019s work should be familiar to anyone who\u2019s played the Lord of the Rings Online Games: Shadows of Angmar and Mines of Moria. Those are just two examples in an impressive resume. His latest collaboration with LOTRO<\/a> and Warner Bros. Entertainment is the soundtrack to the new online game Riders of Rohan, releasing September 5, 2012. Posted on Lord of The Rings Online\u2019s YouTube site<\/a> are three musical selections: \u201cLOTRO Legacy<\/a>\u201d, \u201cShadow of the Argonath<\/a>\u201d and \u201cBoromir\u2019s Last Stand<\/a>\u201d. Be sure to click on \u201cShow more\u201d on the individual pages for \u201cShadow of the Argonath\u201d and \u201cBoromir\u2019s Last Stand\u201d to read Thomas\u2019s insight into the composing of the music.<\/p>\n

Additionally, the second in the series of behind the scenes videos: \u201cImmersion through the look and sound of Rohan<\/a>\u201d, posted July 5th, has interviews with Thomas as well as Director Mitch Cohen, Director of Photography Scott Kevan and Senior World Designer Chris Pierson. The composer speaks to how he relied on painstaking research of the literature to create what he feels is \u201cauthentic\u201d and true to Tolkien\u2019s vision of the role of music in his stories. This video along with the first behind the scenes and various teasers and trailers for the game are available at LOTRO\u2019s YouTube page. More musical tracks will be posted as the launch date approaches.
