The Music of The Lord of the Rings Films: A Comprehensive Account of Howard Shore's Scores (Book and Rarities CD)
Like the Lord of the Rings story itself, this book is a journey. Adams makes us hear the music, feel the tension or hope or despair through impassioned narrative and a rich musical vocabulary. --BlogCritics...Could easily be one of the most significant and important books ever written on the analysis of a film score.... a masterwork. --Ain't It Cool NewsAn impressive literary debut that will thrill both Rings and soundtrack fans... as meticulous as it is entertaining. --Film Music Magazine
