* The music for the The Lord of the Rings film trilogy was composed, orchestrated and conducted by Howard Shore. The scoring requirements of the three films are complex: therefore each strongly features a technique called leitmotif, which is a musical phrase associated with a character, object, location, etc. Threaded through the score(s) are over 80 specific leitmotifs. The music for the three films was influenced by the music of classical composer Richard Wagner,[1] much of whose work was associated with mythology and fantasy. Some critics noted a number of elements which are very similar to the John Williams score for Jurassic Park, although these similarities are few and far between.
Shore wrote nearly 12 hours of music for The Lord of the Rings. He composed it in an emotional, operatic way, and he gave each culture of Middle-earth its own musical style. These styles are categorized with several themes in each category.
The scores for The Fellowship of the Ring and The Return of the King won Academy Awards in 2002 and 2004. The latter film also won an Oscar statuette for Best Song. The score for The Lord of the Rings has became Howard Shore's most successful composition of his career, and won him his first Academy Awards.
