What has LOTR music that is SO HAUNTING?
|
Can't Post

I havent seen anything comparable, in other scores yes, but in a far lesser amount, for example in Riders of the Lost Ark. But it is in moments like A shadow of the past or the mirror of Galadriel were you have this music that is anything complicated, just some ominous and slow melancolic chords but makes me feel haunted like if something really IMPORTANT was going on. It makes me feel like the sadness of a sea waving with huge yet calmed waves AMAZING

Howard Shore's LOTR and TH soundtracks are amazing.

My personal favorites are FOTR and AUJ. I especially like playing them when I am doing a creative project, sewing, writing letters etc. I could swear that these soundtracks tweak my brain chemistry and make me feel more creative.

Is spectacular and has a sound that just grips my soul. Not all of it, but some.

schindlers list, star wars, well anything by john williams has moments of extreme haunting beauty, then theres hans zimmer inception etc or a modern soundtrack like from under the skin which is extremly haunting or from the film PI, theres alot out there! but i dont subscribe to the hobbit score being that great if you take out the lotr motifs.

I recently watched Last of the Mohicans and had forgotten how beautiful the music was.

It's been years since I first heard them and still, nothing else even comes close. The music Howard Shore wrote for these films is something so exceptional, so completely in a class by itself that, for me, they cross over into some kind of transcendence.

I really love the LOTR soundtracks. There are so many different moods in the music and the music from Hobbit ties in so well and adds new dimensions. Other than LOTR and Hobbit a score to have made an impact on me is the soundtrack to The Fountain (2006). It is great even if you have not seen the film.

He wanted Howard because of his WORK on "The Fly" (Gena Davis & Jeff Goldblum) He said he wanted Something Similar for the Shelob... sequence..? Maybe re-watch "The Fly" again if you can Stomach it...

and there is a great magic to the music. One of those great once in a lifetime things. Its the kind of music you can feel and brings out all these emotions. I often listen to the lotr soundtracks when I go to bed.
Do not go gentle into that good. Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

would have a Howard Shore music score attached to it! My curiosity is peaked. O.K., it is hard to stomach, but if I can find a copy I will just cover my eyes when it gets too disgusting, although, compared to today's horror movies, it may not seem so bad now. Well, life is full of surprises.

For one thing, he's scored a great number of David Cronenberg's films including: The Brood (1979) Scanners (1981) Videodrome (1983) Dead Ringers (1988) Naked Lunch (1991) Crash (1996) eXistenZ (1999) A History of Violence (2005) Eastern Promises (2007) He's also scored: The Silence of the Lambs (1991) Single White Female (1992) Seven (1995) The Cell (2000) Gangs of New York (2002) Panic Room (2002) He's also done a great many lighthearted films but, I think when he was signed for LOTR, he was best known for his horror/thriller scores.

Wow ! I have seen some of these movies. I absolutely love Ed Wood and Gangs of New York!!! I had no idea who did the scores on these. I have both of these and will be taking another look with fresh ears, so to speak. I love Hugo, and was aware that Howard Shore did the musical score in that one which I thought was fabulous (but not as good as FoTR, my favorite movie score of all time, my second favorite being The Last of the Mohicans and then some of the other Tolkien movies he scored for PJ). It it a long list, but I shall chip away at it, including some of the older horror movies, like The Fly and Scanners, if I can find them. Howard Shore is amazing. Thank you !!!!!
