Music

[Pallando B.C]

Seeing my increasing interest in Tolkien, my father showed my one of his old LP's (records). It was entitled <B>Music inspired by The Lord of the Rings</B>- by Bo Hansson.<P>While I was listening to the music (which suited the way I read the book extremly well), I scrolled down the different songs listed on the LP. They were:<P>1- Leaving Shire <BR>2- The Old Forest & Tom Bombadil <BR>3- Fog On The Barrow-Downs <BR>4- The Black Riders & Flight To The Ford <BR>5- At The House Of Elrond & The Ring Goes South <BR>6- A Journey In The Dark <BR>7- Lothlorien <BR>8- Shadowfax <BR>9- The Horns Of Rohan & The Battle Of Pelennor Fields <BR>10- Dreams In The House Of Healing <BR>11- Homeward Bound & The Scouring Of The Shire <BR>12- The Gray Havens<P>After to listening to all the songs (several times), I was convinced that at least a sample of this should have been included in the films- of course, they weren't.<P> <BR><A HREF="http://www.tolkien-archives.com/audio/hansson.shtml" TARGET=_blank>Here</A> is a place were you can sample some of the songs, or maybe even buy the album (i'm not sure if it is available at the <A HREF="http://store.barrowdowns.com/" TARGET=_blank>Barrow Downs Store</A>)<P>When you have sampled some of the music, I want your opinion.<P>-Did you like it (yes/no) Why?<BR>-Do you already have it?<BR>-Do you think Peter Jackson should have included it in the Films<BR>-Do you think it is the sort of music that is well-suited for the Lord of the Rings book and/or Films.<p>[ January 13, 2003: Message edited by: Pallando B.C ]
