He is joined by Gandalf, Legolas the elf, Gimli the Dwarf, Aragorn the ranger, Boromir, and his three Hobbit friends Merry, Pippin and Samwise. Through mountains, snow, darkness, forests, rivers and plains, facing evil and danger at every corner the Fellowship of the Ring must go.

An ominous, bombastic feel runs through much of the score, particularly on pieces like "A Journey in the Dark," "Flight to the Ford," and "A Knife in the Dark," but Shore also includes respites such as the sweetly elfin, Celtic-tinged "Concerning Hobbits" and the stately "Many Meetings." The vibrant "Bridge of Khazad Dum" and "Amon Hen" combine the score's major themes into dazzling climaxes, while Enya's contributions, "Council of Elrond" and "May It Be," add a subtle serenity that gives the score balance. While it's not a particularly melodic score, Lord of the Rings nevertheless does an excellent job of conveying the film's moods through music and has more than enough presence to be appreciated outside of the film's context. [Fashioned in the style of the faux-leather-bound books that housed the lauded trilogy's "Special Edition" DVD releases, 2005's Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring - The Complete Recordings gathers every bit of composer Howard Shore's Oscar-winning score for the first film and spreads it over three discs (a fourth CD/DVD presents the work in 5.1 Surround Sound)]. ~ Heather Phares | | Appropriately enough for the film adaptation of one fantasy literature's most enduring favorites, Howard Shore's score for Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings is traditional and majestic, using sweeping strings, brass, and choral sections to create moments of fire-and-brimstone menace as well heroic triumph.

Tolkien's Middle-earth, veteran composer Howard Shore uses a deft hand in bringing life to this tale of Elves, Dwarves, Hobbits and men. Working with a story based on the age-old battle between good and evil centering on a quest to destroy a mystical and malevolent gold ring, Shore's compositions and direction of The London Philharmonic Orchestra are steeped in an extensive use of dark and light shadings. Cuts like "The Shadow Of The Past" and The Treason Of Isengard" are pumped full of militaristic brass, heavy orchestration and a netherworld-flavored chorus straight from The Exorcist. On the flipside are the quaint "Concerning Hobbits" with its Uillean pipes and darting strings as well as "Many Meetings" which finds heavier orchestral arrangements banished in favor of more lighter, more uplifting string and woodwind sections. | | Celtic enchantress Enya lends a medieval flavor to the proceedings with a pair of originals. The majestic strains of "The Council Of Elrond Featuring 'Aniron (Theme For Aragorn And Arwen)" finds her contributing the slightest bit of ethereal harmonizing while "May It Be" is a more fully realized lyric-packed song steeped in unbowed optimism. | | Tapped to provide music for Peter Jackson's cinematic journey into the world of J.R.R.
