I noticed there is another leitmotif, which is Ludwig’s percussion pattern

I was looking for something to help me to understand this score better, and this blog was super helpful! I have always been a fan of Desplat’s ever since his collaboration with Anderson’s Fantastic Mr. Fox! Thank you so much!

In reply to Paul. Thank you for the supportive words, Paul. If not this year, I have a feeling Desplat will earn an Oscar in the relatively near future, given that he's becoming a regular in the list of nominees. It's always solid music.

Hi Mark,

Thank you so much for doing the Oscar nominees again!
A wonderful analysis as others have pointed out, Desplat surely has a good chance of finally winning an Oscar this year

In reply to bram. Thanks, Bram. Lord of the Rings is certainly on my to-do list. It's just so much music that I haven't had the time to analyze it in depth (which would go beyond merely pointing out the leitmotifs, a task that Doug Adams has done quite well).

hi,

thank you so much, very clear and to the point analyses. maybe a lord of the rings 1 to 3 analyses would be interesting? keep up the good work!

Hi Mark,

Wonderful analysis, as ever, and so very interesting and logical. This has engaged my interest in a film I otherwise wouldn’t have bothered to see. Thanks!
