Perfect scene

RIP Bernard Hill. He goes to his fathers, in whose mighty company he shall not feel ashamed.

In the book, Sam enters the Crack of Doom and sees that the Vial of Galadriel no longer has any light. That was the scariest part of the book for me. The knowledge that this was Sauron's home turf and absolutely nothing could help the heroes here, even from afar. The score captures that fear and the madness of the Ring perfectly.

I personally loved Howard Shores opening score to the show. It gave me chills first hearing it. Going in to watching the first season of Rings of Power, I didn't know that Shore was scoring the theme. When I first heard it, I had to look it up because it felt so much like his style. I was pleasantly surprised when I found out it was Shore!!

Man, what a shame you aren’t able to get the full video up here. Good on you for continuing to fight the good fight, thanks for your work getting this one up!

Doesn't matter how many times I've watched to it, this one always makes the hairs on the back of my neck go up. :D

Sad that you've been having issues with copyright. It's unfortunate because your videos are really well put together. I hope the future is kinder to you.

I had just found your channel last week and I gotta say as a fantasy lover and lover of music your channel has been a miracle

As usual, the featured sample notations are not necessarily identical to the relevant music in the tracks. They exist to give a visual cue for the themes, not to be taken literally for every iteration of the theme. It's regrettable that it has come to this, but you know what? Perhaps it's time to embrace change, and see what it brings. Thanks for watching!

Thank you so much for these collection of videos analysing the entire trilogy's score. Really appreciate the time and effort!

This is might be the best LOTR soundtrack piece behind Lighting of the Beacons. It contains the epic fulfillment of two of the most iconic themes from the soundtrack.

4:55 was the most epic sound I’d heard as a child ❤

The whole score is incredible and fits the movie perfectly but this was my favorite piece. Those sus 4/add 11 sounds over the basic 1-4-5 is really nice. But over the farewell scene it was so emotional. In the hero's journey when they return home they find they cannot go back to the same life because they have transformed. Or they complete the quest but are killed. This was an amazing combination of both and brilliant symbolism for Frodo's death without a tragic death scene. This mythology is so deep. It was too much to take in the first time but I bought the score and the second I heard this theme it stood out. Rewatching the movie later it hit much harder.

Wow such a great video! Thanks for sharing your musical knowledge with us

Elbereth! Elbereth!

hey! what happend to the dune 2 video? was about to study the material but was suddenly gone from your channel? was it taken down? <3

is it possible to maybe fund you a piano tuner?

5:22

Thank you for this terrific analysis. I have a greater awareness of the themes now. Though I was looking forward to an analysis of the Bene Gesserit chant in the Song the Sisters track, which was incorporated in the scene where Lady Fenring was seducing Feyd Rautha. I wonder if that relates to other themes as well.

I wish we had more "emperor", that theme was awesome.

As a big fan of your LOTR OST analysis videos, I was so pleasantly surprised to see you tackling the Dune OST! It feels so satisfactory to see each of the leitmotifs I have identified from Zimmer's work explained in a professional way.

LISAN AL-GAIB!

02:14 did I feel some Gondor in Decline here?

Thank you so much for this analysis! I have been wondering about the use of these themes at certain points of the films, and this video really helped experience the film score on another level!

SO much of this passes right over my (non-musical) head, but it's astonishing to me how complex the scoring of a film can be and how many potentially hidden (and often ambiguous) interpretations can be found in the Dune score in particular. It's almost like the score matches the symbolic richness of Dunes visual themes (albeit often in ambiguous, contrapuntal ways)...

Thanks ! I had trouble discriminating the different themes and naming them. Now it's clear.

Fantastic analysis! Keep these videos going

Under exposed Hugh quality channel discovered, commencing distribution among friends.

Superb analysis, glad you got it uploaded! I haven’t seen Dune, but watching your video makes me interested now to say the least

Terrific analysis! I love your description as this score as "tactile". You can hear the grain of the wind-swept sand. Great work! I think the awe/wonder chords are my favorite elements in this music. Especially paired with the cool guitar solo on the sketch album in "Shortening of the way". Bravo!

RIP Bernard Hill

Thank you for putting together this video - great work !

You can also here Duke Leto's leitmotif right before the crescendo in "Only I will remain" . And it is not tragic there, it is triumphant. Probably for the first time. As if to signify he has succeeded through his son.

I like how you play the full audio of the film, not just the music. Because thats where film music lives! So cool

Fuck yeah!! Love this video. Great annotations to explain the importance of the themes. Thank you for validating my obsession with the soundtrack

did you use the PAL Version? That might be the Reason why the score is a halfstep up

Thank you for making this! I loved being vindicated with all my head canons haha

Rest in peace, Bernard Hill, King of Rohan.

Rest in peace, Bernard Hill, King of Rohan.

In stillsuits, a voice plays the "fremen ostinato" while doing harmonics! Noticed this recently, really makes the score feel so much more organic.

Music is messages from the deep.

Today, Bernard Hill aka King Theoden had left this world. He has now reunited with the fathers, no longer be ashamed. "I go to my fathers. And even in their mighty company I shall not now be ashamed"
