More about the book

The book delves into the intricate relationship between music and its emotional impact, specifically through Philip Tagg's method of analyzing musical meaning using musemes. It applies this technique to Howard Shore's film score for The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, exploring how Shore integrates the cultures described by J.R.R. Tolkien into his compositions. By dissecting thematic elements and their socio-musical contexts, the work reveals how Shore's score enhances the cinematic experience, appealing to musicians and film enthusiasts alike.
