| LA Daily News Howard Shore Attunes Oscar-Winning Score In a world premiere, film composer Howard Shore is set to unveil an orchestral suite based on his epic Oscar-winning soundtrack to "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" on two consecutive August nights at the Hollywood Bowl. Shore's grand score was an integral part of the film's atmosphere, plot development and producer-director Peter Jackson's realization of the enchanting Middle-earth. "Fellowship's" 170-minute final cut contains 150 minutes of music. "I've always been a huge opera fan, so I had a good background in what sort of music was required for such an enormous story," Shore said. "I looked at it as more of a historical piece, and I found myself doing research that took me back to the beginnings of music and notation. Hence, there is a great deal of solo and choir singing - in essence, the beginnings of music." Go to: LA Daily News |
