A Study of Musical Affect in Howard Shore's Soundtrack to Lord of the Rings
PROJECTING TOLKIEN'S MUSICAL WORLDS: A STUDY OF MUSICAL AFFECT IN HOWARD SHORE'S SOUNDTRACK TO LORD OF THE RINGS Matthew David Young A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF MUSIC IN MUSIC THEORY May 2007 Committee: Per F. Broman, Advisor Nora A. Engebretsen © 2007 Matthew David Young All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Per F. Broman, Advisor In their book Ten Little Title Tunes: Towards a Musicology of the Mass Media, Philip Tagg and Bob Clarida build on Tagg’s previous efforts to define the musical affect of popular music. By breaking down a musical example into minimal units of musical meaning (called musemes), and comparing those units to other musical examples possessing sociomusical connotations, Tagg demonstrated a transfer of musical affect from the music possessing sociomusical connotations to the object of analysis. While Tagg’s studies have focused mostly on television music, this document expands his techniques in an attempt to analyze the musical affect of Howard Shore’s score to Peter Jackson’s film adaptation of The Lord of the Rings Trilogy. This thesis studies the ability of Shore’s film score not only to accompany the events occurring on-screen, but also to provide the audience with cultural and emotional information pertinent to character and story development. After a brief discussion of J.R.R. Tolkien’s description of the cultures, poetry, and music traits of the inhabitants found in Middle-earth, this document dissects the thematic material of Shore’s film score.

Film music serves many different purposes including: 1. To create or enhance a mood 2. To function as a LEITMOTIF 3. To link one scene to another providing continuity 4. To emphasise a gesture (known as MICKEY-MOUSING) 5. To give added commercial impetus 6. To provide unexpected juxtaposition or to provide irony 7. To illustrate geographic location or historical period 8. To influence the pacing of a scene 1. To create or enhance a mood Music aids (and is sometimes essential to effect) the suspension of our disbelief: film attempts to convince us that what we are seeing is really happening and music can help break down any resistance we might have. It can also comment directly on the film, telling us how to respond to the action. Music can also enhance a dramatic effect: the appearance of a monster in a horror film, for example, rarely occurs without a thunderous chord! Sound effects (like explosions and gunfire) can be incorporated into the film soundtrack to create a feeling of action and emotion, particularly in war films.

The Film Music Label Partners with the Golden State Pops Orchestra for Another 'Music of the 'Star Wars' Universe' Concert
7:20 PM PDT 6/19/2013 by Austin Siegemund-Broka The Golden State Pops Orchestra The film music label partners with the Golden State Pops Orchestra for another 'Music of the 'Star Wars' Universe' concert. Film music label Varèse Sarabande Records is celebrating its 35th anniversary at home and abroad. The Golden State Pops Orchestra’s June 15 concert Music of the 'Star Wars' Universe commemorated the milestone with a performance of Joel McNeely’s score, released on Varèse, for the 1996 multimedia project Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire, alongside pieces from John Williams’ iconic Star Wars film scores -- not released on Varèse, though the label has distributed other orchestras’ renditions of Williams’ Star Wars compositions. Hans Zimmer, Danny Elfman, Michael Giacchino, John Powell and other guest composers came out for the GSPO’s previous concert, a Varèse Sarabande 35th anniversary revue on May 11. Varèse executive producer Robert Townson, who hosted the revue, says he opted to work with the GSPO to bring Varèse’s anniversary festivities back to the label’s Los Angeles roots. “I sent an email to the conductor and said, ‘we’d like to do something locally. To be honest, your orchestra came to mind because of the attitude and the degree to which you’re making a point of celebrating the aspects of film music I really appreciate, the artistry,’” Townson says. Two more concerts will partner the GSPO with Varèse: the orchestra’s annual Halloween and winter holiday performances, held October 19 and December 21. Plans for a single revue concert grew into a yearlong Varèse celebration when GSPO conductor Steven Allen Fox realized how much Varèse-released music was already on the GSPO season’s programs.
