The Broken Line and Broken Silence - The Rings of Power Score Breakdown

[@melodyworkshop]

Finally! This is one of my favorite tracks, jam packed with ear candy and intricacy. Enjoy the bonus McCreary Halbrand/Sauron breakdown!

Also its so cool notice that Halbrand is Alucard here, so fitting for Sauron, and Halbrand is rougly translated to Hail Fire.

Ash gul ishi ghash! I love it, more than quenya lyrics, the black speech lyrics fascinate me

Would you ever consider doing any Disney/Pixar soundtracks in the future?

From all of the season, i was repelled from the urgent ostinato when saurun reavels himself. It ruines the majestic outlines of the Tolkien musical world that the series adapted as a whole. It gives a feeling of a shoch value. Cheap, reminds me of a cartoonish "gotcha" moment. But, It is not bear's fault as a bad decision from him. Its the moment as a whole that sucks. The twist itself and how it was executed, is horrible and of shock value. The music is perfect for what the show is showing, but I hate the direction altogether, and it ruins the theme bear has build so carefully.

@@whoshoo I see your point! I do disagree, however. Remember; we’re hearing the music through Galadriel’s POV at this moment. With a revelation so dramatic and impactful for Galadriel, the stinger of Sauron’s Ostinato works both music-wise and storytelling-wise. The Sauron Ostinato has followed Galadriel and her quest to find Sauron and rid Middle-earth of his evil. Now, by the edge of the Glanduin, Galadriel has learned that the very evil she sought to destroy, she has instead brought to power. The tone of the ostinato that McCreary gives it also fits perfectly, in my opinion. If you listen to it, it’s imperfectly pitched and the strings are scratchy. This moment is not one of good will and purity, but one of evil and trickery. The ostinato here isn’t conveying the dark lord, it’s telling us what’s going on inside of Galadriel’s head; “What have I done.”

I've getting a very strong feeling that this criticism isn't made in good faith.

Show goes well with the music honestly
