The Hobbit

Abbey Road is the most famous recording studio in the world. It is a very historical building in the music industry. This week I will present to you some music that was recorded at Abbey Road Studios.

The first installment of the Hobbit trilogy was the last film based on J.R.R. Tolkien's fantasy world that Howard Shore conducted and orchestrated. He did an excellent job giving us beautiful music. It is easily some of the best music in the film score world. The Lord of the Rings trilogy along with the first Hobbit film was all recorded at Abbey Road.

Doug Adams, a film music journalist, was brought on my Howard Shore to document the work and final product of the music from the Lord of the Rings. If you own the Special Edition of the score for each Hobbit film, you will find that there is included a little notebook with some brief insight on each score as well.

There is such great depth to Howard Shore's music that I could never explain to you. Shore perfectly maintained the unforgettable themes from The Lord of the Rings, but also managed to bring to the table new music, yet still keeping the same feel and sound. If you do not have the score already, track back to my first post to see the booklet pages. I highly recommend adding this to your collection. I always am not sure about writing about scores such as this one because of my limited knowledge.
