I really hope 200 years from now, people in the future listen to our versions of great classical music like this the way we listen to Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Bach and say the names Williams, Shore, Zimmer the way we say those other men's names.

[@tbrowniscool]

They will my friend.

[@danacoleman4007]

I'm sure they will. If there's anyone left.

[@vincentnjuguna5219]

They'll say also Howard shore and the score for the timeless Lord of the rings

[@user-zb8hz5ti3q]

In 200 years there will be no humans left judging by the state of world affairs currently. Best thing is to leave it to the cockroaches to start over and evolve into a less warlike species to develop and nuture this wonderful and rare blue planet.

[@danielgomezmeneses6989]

Oh yeah. They will. Basically, if Mozart were born on our time, he would compose music for movies. We are watching the same old talent wearing clothes from this century.

[@michaelfvt]

Timeless music for a timeless trilogy of films. I don’t know if even Tolkien could imagine how many people lives have been touched by his work

[@DiRTemma]

I'd love to think that Tolkien would absoluely approve

[@demoneIephant]

Anyone else become incredibly emotional at this or is it just me?

[@CurtBhoy1888]

Truly Touches the heart mate, Personally makes me reflect on life how many years have past how many lives have come how many have gone This song is home to me Of when life was stress free and no worries Brings me Back home each Time.. Truly the greatest theme to exsist, Godbless.

[@dstoney701]

Na me too it has the power to move you emotionally. Headwigs theme has the same effect as well probably not as much as this though

[@TheASSedoTV]

Always, my friend

[@prakharpandey9157]

i literally cried, this is too beautiful for this world

[@gbuddy]

I could easily spend the rest of my life listening to Howard Shore's beautiful Lord of the Rings music 24 hours a day. Heavenly.

[@user-zb8hz5ti3q]

The battle at Helms deep would satisfy me for a thouisand yrars on loop on KZbin.

[@southernlady5085]

Me, too!

[@user-de8le5wl7z]

Glad to read that' i'm not the only one with this musical need/obsession !

[@tonnaga]

What a classic orchestra 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Forever the best track.

[@kevindodds9434]

The flute part in the middle always gives me goosebumps

[@user-zb8hz5ti3q]

Mr Tolkein must be so proud that Mr Jackson and his wonderful team turned the unfilmable LOTR into a visual and auditory masterpirce. Thank you Mr Peter Jackson that I was privilleged to watch them all on the cinema. It was a wonderful 3 years I will never forget.

[@dstoney701]

I’m not sure he would tbh he probably would have hated it lol 😅

[@dstoney701]

I liked the films before I read the books now I don’t like them much because they didn’t use the archaic language as much the modernised it and some of the things they changed or didn’t include were things that made the books so great. They turned something that was primarily linguistic in nature into a modern action movie and that’s not really what lotr was supposed to be

[@corvus2512]

My guess is he would’ve disliked it, his son certainly did.

[@LeCarneAsada]

Tolkiens children have expressed that he would’ve have hated the films, unfortunately.

[@jakehorsburgh2878]

The way the Hobbit theme on flute always comes out the massive grand sequences really mirror the plot of the books. Incredible music

[@dragonladyinthewoods]

The hobbit music is my favorite part of it!

[@crw45able]

These are my favourite movies of all time and the music is a big part of that.

[@marykeegan3242]

I love, love, love Howard Shore’s gorgeous music! Howard Shore really created the perfect Lord of the Rings magic!

[@jamieilikeit]

A flawless performance! Thank you Howard Shore for these musical masterpieces to some of the greatest films ever made. I would love to hear 'Bridge of Khazadhum' ♥️

[@katie.s.]

1:32 instant goosebumps every time. Gosh, Howard Shore is a genius. A truly beautiful soundtrack for equally gorgeous films.

[@patrickderaaff3684]

This left me speechless and in tears. So beautiful.

[@deadsetanime7102]

Humanity gets lots of things wrong before we ever figure it out but one thing that we got right is music. I love all of it.

[@bmabs35]

I've said it before but Howard Shore's score for this trilogy is a monumental achievement. The motifs, the use of Tolkien's constructed languages worked into the chorals. And it's fitting given that the very universe as created by Tolkien was shaped through music.

[@davefb5079]

Gets me in the feels this stuff, holding back the tears here. Beautiful piece of music.

[@tex148th]

So much of this LOTR music moves me to tears ..emotional !

[@LeWacoKid]

Beautifully composed, a masterpiece.

[@dstoney701]

This literally brings tears to my eyes

[@HPDevlin]

An admirably beautiful performance of a remarkably beautiful composition.

[@chong2389]

It appears that all the people who dismiss classical music only needed the 'program' shown to them visually. It is hoped some of them will explore classical performances that the algorithms on streaming services suggest they audition next. They may like what they hear! Excellent performance. It is wonderful to see a woman playing the trumpet solo passages. Well done Bournemouth! 🎉

[@atitiyasosilly9963]

Loved it so much. Had tears in my eyes anytime I listened to this music

[@generalquoti3304]

i'm crying...😭

[@johnr.thomas1214]

If Mozart , Beethoven, Bach and others were alive today they would write music for film, surely today's composers rank among them. Beautiful music.❤

[@char._.lottie9356]

The most beautiful and emotive soundtrack

[@Envelope_grene]

Sent me places, brings me a lot of emotions, gossbumps etc 🍅

[@alexandereudean487]

Amazing in every way!

[@TJSaw]

3:20 “We will not abandon Merry and Pippin to torment and death. Not while we have strength left. Leave all that be spared behind. We travel light. Let’s hunt some Orc.” ❤🥹

[@rearaujo2995]

Não importa quantos anos, décadas, séculos se passam, as canções de Senhor dos Anéis continua sendo uma obra-prima, nunca serão esquecidas, somente aprimoradas ❤🥰

[@SudathPriyantha-yp9zr]

May it be ❤️

[@rivervili6]

Ending out Fellowship 😭

[@Double0Inside]

3:16

[@danacoleman4007]

I love music. And I love orchestral music. But I always thought the main thing an orchestra does is show us what is possible when a group of 60 or so human beings are all focused on the same wonderful goal.

[@stevenhowe6677]

Lovely

[@theknighttemplar8177]

One like for peter Jackson and Howard shore❤️

[@vishnuchandran606]

For frodo😊

[@drummerdoingstuff5020]

lol. Nice

[@jontownsend6203]

What is the flute sounding instrument used for the haunting Irish tones

[@georgepatton6195]

They should be in all costumes and the set should be of as Minas Tirith. Still amazing

[@luke.dean2704]

Ohh take me outta this horrid world and into the shire

[@JonStark117]

*You know the music is amazing…when you can recite literally EVERY SINGLE QUOTE from the movie as it takes place. “Don’t you leave him Samwise Gamgee…and I don’t mean to…I don’t mean to.”🙏🏼🥹*
