The Ring Is Forged - The Elves Lament by MrBouzouki published on 2019-04-27T17:12:32Z Overview This is a piece of cinematically inspired music that grew out of a 30 seconds Composer Club (Facebook) Group challenge. Our remit was to create a Leitmotif based on 'The One Ring', from The Lord of The Rings trilogy. Being a bit of a Tolkien fan I decided to create a piece based on the actual forging of the ring of power, to try and get the sense of power, malice and a desire to dominate condensed into this small object and the overriding sorrow of the Elves when they realised just what had been created. The Shevvanai 'Voice of the Elves' vocal library certainly came in handy :-) After doing the initial 30 seconds I thought there was a bit more I could do with the idea so I went back to setting up the story. This involved trying to give a feeling of the Elves in Middle Earth and then I thought ... what I need is some of the Black Speech of Mordor, part of the ring rhyme to lead into the forging section. So I did my very best Dark Lord impression to utter the lines in the Black Speech of Mordor. Ash nazg durbatulûk, ash nazg gimbatul, Ash nazg thrakatulûk agh burzum-ishi krimpatul. One Ring to to Rule Them All One Ring to Find Them One Ring to Bring Them All And in the Darkness Bind Them I must admit is the most weird thing I've ever tracked vocally ;-) Instrumentation Shevannai vocal library (Eduardo Tarilonte) Strings (8ve Long, Spiccato Shorts, CS Strings ,Nasty Brass (Albion One - Spitfire) Harp (Garritan GP05) St Peter's Choir Patch(Halion Sonic) Alto Flute (Chris Hein Winds) Oboe (Chris Hein Winds) The sound of working on a Blacksmiths Forge and Explosion sound FX that is classed as Public Domain is used to add colour to the track from www.freesound.org Genre Classical Comment by philippe blanc - composer c'est très beau 2023-10-16T14:25:47Z Comment by WarxTron Completely wonderful, definitely reminds of LotR, congrats 2020-08-19T18:45:54Z Comment by Bruce Klepper | Composer Gorgeous! 2019-11-07T14:08:35Z Comment by Carolyn Barela A magical rendition! :) 2019-08-11T23:15:07Z Comment by David Dunham These are beautiful, elegant soundscapes that illumine the mystery, melancholy, and tragedy that surrounds the ring. 2019-08-04T02:16:01Z Comment by Synthgrinder Wonderful Portrayal, Pete.
