Roots and Beginnings...

Welcome to the official “author’s blog” for the upcoming book The Music of the Lord of the Rings Films. This is not a studio/publisher-sanctioned site. It's simply a chance for me to stay in touch with fans of Howard Shore's amazing work -- and, hopefully, an efficient way of keeping everyone on top of the latest comings and goings as we enter the final phase of The Music of the Lord of the Rings project. Please note the FAQ button to the right. There's a strong chance you'll find many questions addressed there.

To serve its titular purpose, an "Ongoing Discussion" thread will be posted each month, and previous months' will be archived. You can also post comments under specific posts where applicable. Feel free to post as often as you like! I’ll try to keep a light touch while moderating -- I only ask that basic rules of etiquette and civility be respected.

Ongoing Discussion Thread [Jan, 2008]

Happy New Year's one and all. I'm drawing my New Year's reverie to a close a bit early this year... not for any particular reason. I've been writing all day, and went out with friends earlier in the evening, so I'm quite ready to usher 2008 in from the comfort of my own cozy little hobbit hole.

"2008"... it looks strange typed out. Somehow more real. I suppose it is more real. This is 2008! The year of the Music of LOTR book is officially upon us now. Good grief!

Anyway, pomp and circumstance behind, here is the new Ongoing Discussion thread, ready and waiting for your bleary-eyed Jan. 1 posts. Remember, I'll be seeing you all from New York later in the week. Stay tuned. In the meantime, in the words of Samwise Gamgee... I think I'll just have another ale.

Happy New Year!

-Doug
