Features & Capabilities

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.

Great app

by em*****, 2024-01-17

All the low reviews for this app are from people who thought it would come with the LOTR soundtrack. That makes no sense, and the app would be taken down in months for massive copyright infringement. This app is exactly what I have been looking for. The sheer volume of organized themes is extremely impressive, and helps me study and understand the techniques Howard Shore used. I had been looking for maybe an Internet article that listed all the different themes, but this is even better; an app that links to your itunes and classifies and organizes all 80+ themes that represent different people, ideas, cultures and locations in Middle-Earth. One of the best things about this trilogy is the music, and the app lets me access and view all of it in a new lens. So stop acting like you expected the app to come with all of the Lord of the Rings music for free.
