Music of the Movie Trilogy - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Mithisilien · 03-04-2004, 07:11 PM

This is for all the music geeks out there!
I don't know how far it will get, but it should be fun. Standard quiz form- one person asks a question about the music in the movie trilogy, and the person with the correct answer gets to ask the next question. I'll start.

What is the name of the violin-like instrument that plays the Rohan theme?

The Perky Ent · 03-05-2004, 06:27 PM

Um...the fiddle?

Mithisilien · 03-05-2004, 07:42 PM

not quite

The Perky Ent · 03-05-2004, 08:04 PM

um...cello?

Mithisilien · 03-05-2004, 08:10 PM

You were closer with the fiddle...if you have the special edition of TTT soundtrack it's in the booklet...

Arwen_Evenstar · 03-05-2004, 09:44 PM

Is it the Viola? I'm not home ATM so I cant check my soundtrack...

Estelyn Telcontar · 03-06-2004, 02:02 PM

It's the Hardinger fiddle.

Mithisilien · 03-06-2004, 09:13 PM

Estelyn's got it! It's actually spelled Hardanger, but it was spelled wrong in the soundtrack booklet, so that answer's fine.

Estelyn Telcontar · 03-07-2004, 07:04 AM

Which flute player is a featured soloist on the soundtrack?

Lindir · 03-09-2004, 04:18 PM

James Galway

Estelyn Telcontar · 03-10-2004, 01:52 AM

That's the right person, Lindir - Sir James Galway, to be precise. Go ahead with the next question.

Lindir · 03-10-2004, 04:31 PM

Who was the singer who featured in the song, "The End of All Things, "Return of the King", and "Twilight and Shadow"?

Mithisilien · 03-11-2004, 07:11 PM

Renee Fleming was featured in all three, and The Return Of The King also featured Viggo Mortensen

Lindir · 03-12-2004, 03:49 PM

That's correct. Your turn.

Estelyn Telcontar · 03-18-2004, 10:48 AM

Mithisilien, are you out there somewhere? We'd love to get a new question from you!

Mithisilien · 03-21-2004, 02:11 PM

I'm sorry! Just been insanely busy all week. *sigh*. Ok.

What is the name of the orchestra that recorded the soundtrack?

NightKnight · 03-21-2004, 02:13 PM

The London Philharmonic Orchestra.

Mithisilien · 03-21-2004, 02:18 PM

Wow, that was fast! Your turn, nightknight

NightKnight · 03-21-2004, 02:25 PM

I was just lucky to be online, and have the Soundtracks nearby.

Who sang the song Aníron?
