the lord of the rings - Alcaeru`s Sheet Music
THE LORD OF THE RINGS
THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING
The Complete Recordings
Music composed, orchestrated, and conducted by Howard Shore
Diegetic music composed and performed by Plan 9
Featuring “Aníron” and “May It Be” by Enya
Transcribed for piano / short score
A note from the transcriber
This transcription represents my best effort to capture as much information
about the Fellowship of the Ring film score as possible, including notes, tempi,
orchestration, song texts, and cues from the movie (extended edition). The
transcription is in two-staff short score format, and although information
content took precedence over playability, most of the transcription should be
playable at the piano, with omission of certain lines if desired. The source for
the transcription was the Complete Recordings, and it is indicated where
material is cut from the film. The transcription is divided according to the track
listings in the Complete Recordings.
Cues from the film are shown in italics, with dialogue in “quotation marks” and
characters underlined. Song names, authors, and translators are shown in small
text. Song lyrics are in normal type, with English translations shown beneath in
italics. The matching of lyrics to the recordings is done only where possible,
and is indebted to the timestamps on Marilynn Miller’s website
www.amagpiesnest.com. At certain points translation was not possible, due to
the jumbling of syntax in matching words to the music.
This transcription was done by a fan of Howard Shore’s score and Tolkien’s
works, for the interest of other fans. It was inspired by Alcaeru’s website
alcaeru.weebly.com and Doug Adams’s wonderful book “The Music of the
Lord of the Rings Films.”
