Peter: it’s just a shot over the mountains don’t go too crazy with the score Howard: proceeds to make the greatest score ever in movie history

[@swampert564]

I gotta imagine that composers all dream of the chance to go absolutely wild like Shore did throughout these movies. Just absolutely cut loose.

[@DarthHunter5]

Actually, Peter asked him to go batshit crazy with that scene - and he delivered :D

[@hoenircanute]

Well i dont like to rank perfection, its up there with Ennio Morricone kzbin.info/www/bejne/eoWUf32tes5ppNk kzbin.info/www/bejne/lajPamh4id2Ij6M

[@ToxicallyMasculinelol]

it's not _just_ a shot over the mountains, the cinematography for this scene is just as good as the score, even if you don't know what you're looking for.

[@MagicGame_]

​@@ToxicallyMasculinelol everything you said sum up the entire trilogy. Pure excellence on both score and cinematography always.

[@LegndOfKorra]

The best part of this is still the shot of the guy waving his little torch after the beacon of Nardol is lit. Like his hand held torch is going to signal all the way to Erelas lol

[@schawdaya]

The fact you know which beacon location he was at makes me happy

[@clintgolub1751]

Haha I’ve thought this too. I honestly felt it was a very human reaction to *finally* be able to do his ONE AND SOLE JOB so he understandably was in pure ebullience!

[@RajbirSinghJaat]

A fact: When the beacons are lit, the common people of Gondor and Rohan are going to be worried as heck. But these men manning the beacons would probably be very happy to finally do what they've been waiting to do for since ages.

[@marcelomustang4108]

​@@clintgolub1751 Exatamente isso.

[@laMoria]

this is the music of hope

[@tykjenffs]

THE BEACONS ARE LIT! Truly one of the most awesome cinematic moments of ALL time.

[@swampert564]

This is easily one of my favorite sequences in all of film. It's glorious.

[@devonandrewmills]

Brought a tear to my eye. So frakking awesome. Movies used to punch you right in the gut.

[@ianrob4760]

and Rohan will answer - RIP Bernard

[@mauMauthecarabao]

Hail Theoden King!!

[@user-nm6fo7vm8m]

Kids: drops beats Men: drops bass Howard Shore: drops a whole brass section in epic manner 😎😎😎

[@LV-ei1ce]

Every fkin piece of music was legendary !!!

[@MasterAnakinSkyWalker]

This movie will always be a cinematic masterpiece. Definitely worthy of its eleven oscars.

[@vipergtsmre]

Getting to see this in NYC in March!!.

[@EtwasMartin]

AND ROHAN WILL ANSWER!

[@victoraguirre7486]

[@flame_of_the_west8909]

[@franciscodelaurentii]

This movie is so f*** good

[@skip6562]

The conducter was really feelin it @ 1:59

[@XAVR_]

Wouldn't you be? Listen to that string section ♥️

[@thetank971]

Hope, knowing somewhere out there help is coming

[@gingerbaker_toad696]

They all applauded King Theoden 😅 rightfully so

[@seank218]

Who dropped a soda can while Theoden was thinking of his answer LOL

[@silkwesir1444]

two soda cans, actually... or the same one twice, who knows.

[@Diapontios]

2:13-2:27 oh that BOSS lone brass player…

[@MALITH666]

Rest in Peace King Theadon.

[@georgepatton6195]

And I thought my job was hard, poor bastard at the 2:26 beats me. Great scene, great score!

[@matthewmitchell3457]

Random Gondorian guy: *lights some wood on fire* Howard Shore:

[@muhammadtasdiq4298]

amazing😂😂😂

[@ActionBreh]

Hola! Tienes informacion de cuando y donde se hacen estos conciertos? Necesito ir a uno!! Gracias ^^

[@xdavidliu]

there's dialog sounds, so I'm confused how they did this. Did they remove the music track from the film so that only the dialog sounds played (so they could orchestrate over that)?

[@soul0travel138]

Yes exactly that

[@ToxicallyMasculinelol]

presumably they have the masters

[@duncanthomson7894]

Yeah when you are mastering audio forTV/movies, you have different channels for specific things, like dialogue, SFX, music etc. they'll have just taken out the music

[@bouldergarfish1620]

Espero que la gente no aplaudiera a cada escena como en la de Madrid de hace una semana, que el público hizo infernal

[@nicochueco]

no me hagas acordar, yo estuve en amdrid. tan cavernicolas van a ser? por el amor de dios. Y los que se ofendan por este comentario, vayan a un concierto de rock

[@felipeblancoleyton2067]

En la escena de la carga de los Rohirim, la gente gritaba DEEEAAAAAATH y aplaudía. La emoción ganó

[@Adresant]

I did 667

[@i_do_stuff_ig]

All that wood ppl are going to have to replace when the fire dies down XD
