Probably Howard Shore's LotR score. Prologue, Concerning Hobbits, A Shortcut to Mushrooms, Khazad-Dûm, The Caverns of Isengard, The Road Goes Ever On, Edoras, Return to Edoras, Eyes of the White Tower... they're all bangers.
(Edit: Can't BELIEVE I forgot "The Ring Goes South!")
I also really like Alan Silvestri's stuff, particularly his Back to the Future work and his Avengers theme.
My wife and I also have this super fun game we play called "is it Gladiator or is it Pirates?" because Klaus Bedelt was Hans Zimmer's protege when they needed a composer for the first Pirates movie, and he heavily borrowed from Zimmer. Anyway, those are good soundtracks, too.
I get to sing in a live performance of the Fellowship soundtrack this fall. The movie will play on a projector, the symphony and chorus will perform the soundtrack.
I’ve done this before for The Two Towers and Return of the King, over a decade ago. This year I get to complete the set!
Whoa. I've attended a live performance of a soundtrack with the movie playing overhead (Back to the Future, actually), and it's a fantastic experience. I would imagine actually performing it would be even better.
Are the lyrics on your music written in Sindarin (I mean anglicized Sindarin, not actually Sindarin script), or are they spelled out phonetically?
Everything is spelled out phonetically, but you can bet I was nerdy enough to correct our chorus master when she said we were singing in Orcish and it was actually Dwarvish.
Nice. That's a level of nerdery we should all aspire to.
