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.

Press Release: RAH Pre-concert Discussions

Free Pre-concert Discussions with Howard Shore and Doug Adams
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
Royal Albert Hall
Tuesday, April 14 & Wednesday, April 15
6:15 to 6:45 p.m.

The producers of The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring - Live to Projection are pleased to announce that two free Pre-concert Discussions will precede the London premieres of this epic work.

Composer Howard Shore and Doug Adams (author of the upcoming book The Music of the Lord of the Rings Films) will discuss Shore’s work on The Lord of the Rings, in an engaging look at the project’s history and its myriad of compositional details.

This free event is open to all ticket holders for that evening’s performance. The Pre-concert Discussions will be held in Royal Albert Hall’s main auditorium each evening from 6:15 to 6:45 p.m., before the 7:30 p.m. performance.

Howard Shore will also be available to greet fans at a CD signing after the performance.

The Royal Albert Hall performances bring together The Lord of the Rings’ original performers (London Philharmonic, London Voices and the London Oratory School Schola boys chorus) to perform Howard Shore’s grand score. Now come hear how it all started in a discussion with the composer, himself!


United States-based Rings fans, don’t be left out! You will be able to catch Howard Shore and Doug Adams in conversation before The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring - Live to Projection at New York City’s famed Radio City Music Hall on October 9 and 10, 2009!
