| The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring / Original Soundtrack : 4 of 5 | |

 After I saw Return of the King and watched my Two Towers DVD, I found myself really wanting to listen to the wonderful themes of the soundtrack - such a great accompianment to reading and relaxing. I decided to get the Fellowship of the Ring soundtrack first, because I love the "Hobbits/Shire/Frodo" theme (for lack of a better description), especially the version played in the early scenes of the Shire - it uses something like a recorder/flute and fiddle that just sounds so playful and peaceful. Of course, the triumphant "Fellowship/Aragorn" theme is excellent, too, and overall, the entire soundtrack is great. I was amazed to see in the liner notes that all of the choral singing and chanting that you hear is actual lyrics in Elvish - the notes even provide the translations! It really adds a lot of depth to the music now that I'm aware of that. I think I'll have to get the other two soundtracks, now - maybe I'll listen to them and re-read the books someday.
