Fellowship of the Ring, Cont. W/ Emma Sherr-Ziarko

My Big Score

Returning guest Emma Sherr-Ziarko joins us to go deep in depth on Howard Shore's monumental score for Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring! We discuss Emma's history with 'the sacred texts', Shore's use of orchestration, the importance of Boromir, and much, MUCH more. PLUS: Chris breaks down the film's extraordinary prologue piece-by-piece to demonstrate how Shore's score grounds us in the world of Middle-Earth. Join us, won't you, as we return to the Shire with the Fellowship of the Ring?
