Lord of the Rings Lord of the Rings
Elegant and eloquent, Howard Shore's score for The Return of the King shies away from ... more
excessive epic bombast. The composer weaves into
the fabric familiar leitmotifs from the earlier
two scores--such as the heroic "Fellowship" theme
and the stirring "Rohan" theme--but now they are
presented with a reflective sense of finality.
Shore's distinctive orchestral palette for the
trilogy has always featured voices--either solo or
choral--as a key musical colouring, and here the
professionals (including soprano Renee Fleming)
are joined by Billy Boyd and Viggo Mortenson, who
provide small but effective contributions. There
is martial music, naturally, while the Mordor
sequences--such as "Minas Morgul" and "Shelob's
Lair"--elicit some terrifying orchestral drama.
But the score's overall tenor is more meditative
than either of its predecessors, ultimately
emphasising the poignancy of farewells more than
exterior spectacle as it reaches a suitably and
satisfyingly  Wagnerian climax in "The Grey
Havens". Only the obligatory song tie-in, "Into
the West" (sung by Annie Lennox), is a
middle-of-the-road disappointment after all that
has gone before.  This single disc presents only
selections from a much larger work. Hopefully, the
complete scores for all three films will soon be
released with the same sort of lavish attention
paid to John Williams' comparable Star Wars cycle.
Only then will the magnitude of Howard Shore's
achievement be fully evident: at the very least,
like Williams a generation earlier, Shore has
given musically aware filmgoers a brief respite
from wall-to-wall product-placed pop and thudding
drum machines. --Mark Walker

BOARD (not bored) OF THE RINGS
Review of The Lord Of The Rings by Mauri

Advantages: Great family board game
Disadvantages: Not for the very young, a little complicated to set up

With the massive interest generated by the brilliant film adaptations of Tolkien's Lord of the Rings (LOTR) it was inevitable that there would be a huge market for LOTR products especially games that could reproduce the feel of the original books. A very successful set of PS2 games was released but for the more traditional gamers an intelligently designed and very playable board game is also available. The Lord Of the Rings board game is made by ...
...games. The game was created by the innovative designer Renier Knizia. THE IDEA As in any adaptation of a book the idea is to appeal to the current fans but also make it accessible for people who might be new to the genre. The gameplay must follow the original story but it must also be at a level that non-fans can also take part. In this respect this game does an admirable job. As in the book the objective is to stop the Dark Lord Sauron from getting ... Read review
