Beautiful trilogy; the same ancient heroic poems spoken around campfires surrounded by darkness many thousands of years ago have evolved into these films. The themes are still the same: inner/outer good vs. evil, the flawed hero against overwhelming odds, character development, and the acceptance of fate to name a few. Just watching these films awakens that nostalgic transcendence forever encoded into our genes from the thousands of generations of warriors, hunters, and farmers.

For the record, almost every composer for film works with computers to "mock up" the cues to demo for the director. When they sign off on them then they get transferred to real orchestras care of orchestrators and copyists. Sometimes Powell, Zimmer, and co. Will also layer electronics on top of the real players.

As much as I love Hans Zimmer, most of his newer work is done with synthesized instruments. John Powell is still keeping it real.

@ErikTributsch I've met him in 2007 at a convention. He is a very, very shy person. His publicist always protected him from his fans. I was lucky enough to get a photo with him after a praticing session. Anyway great talent, he just simply couldnt beileve he has such a big following and fan base.

@unemployedcomposer Actually, many, many movie scores now are done exclusively with very expensive computer systems. Man On Fire's soundtrack, by Harry Gregson-Williams, one of my favorites, was entirely fabricated by a PC. Someone taking the time, spending the money and putting forth the effort to work with an actual orchestra isn't as common as most people would think. I'm explaining this to you like I would to a child because you have the comprehension of one. Pssh. Troll.

@unemployedcomposer Um, no?
John Powell is definitely one of the most (if not THE most) underrated composers out there.

Powell is astonishingly astute with regards to nuances in music. WOW. If music be food, John Powell is a master chef.
