The Lord of the Rings Trilogy - 06. Into the West (Instrumental)

[NormbrettaMod]

composers don't just pluck a piece of music out of thin air. howard shore made this soundtrack as beautiful as it is because of the inspiration. one could in fact argue that tolkien wrote this music too as it was his books that howard shore had at his side as he composed all of this. he let tolkien's imagination flow through him to be reborn as music. if howard shore is only hired for crummy movies then how can it be as beautiful as this? inspiration is incredibly important in all forms of art.

inb4 any more "hans zimmer": IMHO, Howard Shore is a genius.

[steddars]

Why are people on about Hans Zimmer? I agree he has done a lot more stuff that is excellent. But is it a competition? This, and the whole Lord of the Rings Soundtrack is Stunning...

[SuperAirgunman]

A fantastic piece of music

[adrieldantas]

the song of my funeral.

[PhoenixEntertain]

@adrieldantas I agree. One could spend an eternity listening to this song.

[Eedwards92]

0 dislikes and let's keep it that way! GOT IT.

[Eedwards92]

@Eedwards92 To the one person that disliked this... what is wrong with you?

[guncannon109]

@Eedwards92 Then let us be rid of it... once and for all! I can't carry it for you... but I can carry you!

[MrXavozon]

what is the name of the violin type instrument that they use instead of a violin?

[krupa360]

@MrXavozon A cello

[sullivankandy]

@MrXavozon Its a Viola a cello doesn't play well in the higher register like a viola. but The viola is a baroque style which has a very distinct Irish sound

[Sms231]

I love this version - I get chills every time I hear it.

And for those of you wondering - a Viola playing the solo. The Cello's timbre is too low and the Violin's timbre is too high for this song. You can do comparisons with the many amateur videos of Cellos and Violins playing this song.

[Michaelmop]

Got this is my ''sadness'' playlist. It's amazing.

[dogsrcool099]

@barcino17 same i dunno y bu it reminds me of my dead grandad!:(

[dogsrcool099]

learning to play this on the piano!! But this is just breathtaking:P

[smithy2306]

Much prefer this without the lyrics!

[Galather0]

@smithy2306 Couldn't agree more.

[Michaelmop]

@smithy2306 Yup, instruments are so much stronger than a person's voice tbh.

[SajjQ]

here i thought the original song couldnt get better, then i find this and now im not so sure anything else can ever be better than this

[ironmaiden93ofangmar]

btw I said violin but I don't really know what it is xD aparently it's a Cello lol

[ironmaiden93ofangmar]

WOW! when I saw the title I thought that it was going to be the original version without vocals... instead I hear this beautiful violin! :OOO amazing

[SkybreakerStudios]

wonderful cello solo!

[fairlydogcat]

how a beautifull song <3

[shaheen408]

In a word ...."beautiful".



[Peachbubblegum2468]

absolutely beautiful. Howard Shore is just as much a genius as Einstein.

[ChanelCoco555]

is this a viola or a cello?



[fr1z3r]

@ChanelCoco555 that is a cello

[MrJordanian87]

I'm totally shocked by this great music .. it makes me feel better ~_~

[MrGomesAndrade]

I hope I will see all these things when my time to go into the west arrives...

[dk410]

I have not heard a soundtrack that surpasses Lord of the Rings! Howard Shore has a gift!

[pwnismaximus]

@dk410 Hans Zimmer. That is all.

[Thebriangriffinblog]

@pwnismaximus Although in my eyes, Lord of the Rings was the best film soundtrack ever made, Zimmer has made many more great pieces than Shore has.

[NormbrettaMod]

@Thebriangriffinblog

quality, not quantity.

[Jubernack]

wow this is amazing!

[HaggoZ88]

what a wonderful version of this great song
