After four years of writing the music for the trilogy, "The Lord Of The

Shore- each movement corresponding to each book within J.R.R. Tolkien's
tome.  The concert in Antwerp, Belgium on April 16th will feature 200
performers on stage, including the Flemish Radio Orchestra, the Antwerp
choir and numerous instrumental and vocal soloists.  The performance
incorporates the imagery of renowned Tolkien artist, Alan Lee.  Upcoming
concert tour cities in 2004 & 2005 include: London, Sydney, Amsterdam,
Central Park in New York; Philadelphia, the Hollywood Bowl in Hollywood, CA
and Seville, among others.

Score" and "Best Original Song" ("Into The West") from The Lord Of The
Rings: The Return Of The King.  In addition, he also received the "Best
Score" Award from the Broadcast Film Critics and the Chicago Film Critics

For the first film in the trilogy, The Lord Of The Rings: The Fellowship Of
The Ring, Shore won the Oscar, the Grammy, the Los Angeles and Chicago Film
Critics Awards and most recently was awarded the Grammy for The Lord Of The
Rings: The Two Towers.
The soundtracks for The Fellowship Of The Ring and The Two Towers have sold

Antwerp, Belgium on April 16th at the Antwerp Sportpaleis. 
A proposito, sul supplemento "Alias" del manifesto di sabato 27 marzo
c'erano due pagine dedicate alle musiche ispirate a Tolkien. 
Citavano anche un esperimento jazz, oltre ad autori che si ispiravano
a Schubert.
Bye
S. 

 a Schubert.
L'esperimento jazz è stato presentato in prima assoluta a Roma tre o quattro 
anni fa. Era definita come "opera jazz", si intitolava "Hobbit Hobbit" e non 
ricordo assolutamente di chi era ma era di uno famoso nel mondo del jazz.
Questo NG però non c'era ancora e quindi me la sono persa...
Pazienza (e poi, in fondo, non è che il jazz mi faccia impazzire!)
