Product details
Here is the second volume of jazz composer John Sangster's
classic epic musical interpretation of The Lord of the Rings.
Originally a double-LP set issued by EMI over 25 years ago it has
never been available on CD until now. Musical styles range from
Sangster's distinctive form of jazz, to film-like music
interpreting characters and events from Tolkein's trilogy. This
2-CD set for the price of 1 CD includes 55 minutes of bonus
interviews with John Sangster, Tony Gould, Graeme Lyall and Len
Barnard.
Not to be confused with Howard Shore's music to the award-winning
films, this trilogy is wholly Australian and was released on
three double-LP sets by EMI over 25 years ago, later deleted and
remaining unavailable for many years.
Written by the noted Australian jazz and film composer John
Sangster, the series remains a highly ambitious and epic
production. From trad jazz to film-like music, there's something
on this special double CD for everyone. Plus there's
extras galore for collectors including the
original LP artwork (computer PDF files) and rare video footage
of John Sangster in action.
So ... having read the book, visited the Ring website, and seen
the film trilogy, you can now hear the jazz music: an essential
album for any Australian jazz or indeed Tolkien fan.
