Comment: I certainly hope so, this is Howard Shore’s best score. The CD releases are lacking right now, because they didn’t use all the music from the film.

((The nine-disc cd set will be similar to the ROTK special edition soundtrack, in that it will most likely also have a documentary part with the cds. The cds will have every bit of music recorded for the EE editions of the three movies. It also will include some out takes, such as the first version of the fellowship theme, and music from an Arwen scene that was cut from the movie.

The book is scheduled to be released about the same time as the nine-disc set, in early 2005, most likely. The release dates are deliberately tied together, and holding up release is making sure they won't be competing with another LOTR release.))

I'm sure I'll buy the set, but I'm perfectly happy with the three CDs that were released. About the only complaint I had was the lack of the Rohan theme in ROTK (i.e. the violins).

I agree 100% the Rohan theme should have been in the old cds. its better than the Gondor theme.

The movie used the rohan theme a great deal, so i was a little upset when they didnt have any of it on the score cd
