149 – The Voice of Rohan
Manage episode 443517997 series 3368729
Howard Shore carefully brought the text of The Lord of the Rings to life in Peter Jackson’s film trilogy, choosing instruments and melodies that the people of Middle-Earth could have created for themselves. No theme shows this better than the one that speaks for the people of Rohan, from the clever selection of a Hardanger Fiddle to the rhythmic elements that evoke the beloved horses of the Rohirrim.
Also in this episode, congratulations to Jonathan Emmett, Adam S. Smith, and Stieven Van der Poorten. Their book The Tyrannosaur’s Feathers is now an award winner!
Friend of the show Tom the Tale Teller will perform a ghost story on Halloween — go see him if you are near the Midlands of England!
Find out why co-host Chloë had to say sorry to her teacher, and hear what mini-host Phoebe thinks of her very first comic book.
