George Mason University Wk 14 Music The Lord of the Rings Music Scoring Paper

 

The assignment should
be approximately 3 written pages, not including the questions. Make
specific reference to the readings (article, module, text book), music
and viewings for this weeks module. Include specific timings also from
the film for references to music cues.

Assignments for Week 14:

  1. Please
    reflect on the ways that the score for The Lord of the Rings: FotR is
    similar and yet distinct from the early film music. Hickman concludes
    that the film brings us full circle back to Wagner, what elements of
    early film music remain with a score such as this and what kind of
    departures from early tradition has the score made.
  2. Apply
    each of Butler’s 3 concepts, “anachronism, navigation and expansion” to
    LotR also how might Howard Shore’s score for an imagined time and place
    relate to score of another film we have covered in this course? Please
    provide examples from the films that support your argument.
  3. Please complete the Course Evaluation through Patriot Web (requested not required)
