The Music of Middle-earth

The Music of Middle-earth is an unofficial companion app to index Howard Shore's music for the "Lord of the Rings" films. The score consists of more than 80 leitmotifs or themes that relate to specific characters, locations or cultures of Middle-earth. This app attempts to list occurrences of all themes throughout the soundtrack and provides an interactive way to listen to them: - Play sections that contain specific themes. - Go through all themes that are part of a single track. - Display currently playing theme(s) while listening to the full tracks. Important: None of the music is distributed as part of this application and all albums need to be acquired independently. The app includes information about the following albums: The "Original Soundtrack" (OST) albums released between 2001 and 2003. The "Complete Recordings" (CR) albums released between 2005 and 2007. The "Rarities Archive" album released 2010 together with 'The Music of the Lord of the Rings Films' by Doug Adams. If you own some of the albums, you can listen to the tracks and all indexed sections directly from the application in an interactive way. Additionally, when listening to a track, the currently playing themes are displayed. More information and a desktop version (macOS & Windows) are available at: https://musicofmiddleearth.com/
