“Amazing Grace” IS already a pentatonic scale. Most shape-note hymns are

si k lo lavo bien el cerebro Morgoth!

Ничего толкового. Вокруг да около и ничего из перечисленного не в точку

Loved the Fellowship one! As a composer who doesn't understand too much about theory (sadly), I can only envy your skills!

I may not call myself necessarily our ear necessarily great but the fact that I can transpose a song makes me think I have an ear for music

The work on the show is so good, but it’s dragged down by bad writing and just weird inconsistencies throughout.

I dont think I'll ever understand the hate this show gets. I honestly love everything about it except the bowl hair cut kid is annoying and could just be removed. Everything else, I love it.

Question: What makes the dorian example dorian? It starts and ends with a C major rather than C minor, and also includes the flat and natural of E,A, and B across different chords. To me, the mode seems kind of ambigous (or at least not obvious). It sounds very good and I love the video, but I dont get this.

I love this content

Holy moly sometimes the algorithm is creepy. I’ve been wondering how to do something like this. I had an idea for a series of songs. But each one would have a different emotional theme. Yet I wasn’t sure how that was accomplished. Then this scrolls by. I hadn’t even said this out loud. Yet here is the path start leading in the way I wanted. Wild stuff

Very Good explanation! Thank you for this.

Great video! I especially like the Valinor rendition of the theme. One scale naming issue, though: If you say the Valinor version is melodic minor, then c would have to be the root of the theme as it is originally. But then your numbers below the notes of the scale suggest that g is to be seen as the root. So that does not match. I do hear g as the root of the theme, but then it is not melodic minor (also doesn't feel like it) but it is major with the flat 6th scale degree as a "borrowed note" from the minor scale.

The one that imitates the fellowhip is not dorian, but eolian.

Happy sixty-eighteenth birthday, Howard Shore! If anyone wants to play this stuff at a friend’s birthday party, Patreon has sheet music of these transformations for solo piano as a set of Lord of the Rings style variations for personal use. Over on Patreon, you can also grab my Mozart-style variations on Happy Birthday if you prefer to keep your silliness Classical.

Another amazing amazing quality video essay!!

The music is the only good thing about this series. Also word of advice, Annatar is not an Elf.

My mind was blown hearing how seamlessly the themes fit together 😮 great vid!

"It's easier to make an idea with less options" as someone who deals with indecision and analysis paralysis, thank you so dang much. I should not get into creating music (I don't have the background or resources) but like. this is definitely a subject I really like

That Harry Potter style is utter perfection. I'm not yet fluent enough in music theory to do it myself, but I'll bookmark this for later!

this is amazing. I love it. thank you so much.

Do you recommend any software to exercise these concepts?

I noticed the mediant harmonies in the Stranger's theme, and I also thought it fits really well in a LOTR show, but I didn't make this connection with Shore's themes. Awesome analysis!

This is hilariously evil in so many ways

"You may need to watch another video first" Nope... I need to watch a year's worth of videos first!

Whatever problems people have with the show, the music has been one of the redeeming factors

I've been looking for a more refined way to expand and develop themes beyond the basic ways for years and this is the first video I've found that fits what I've been looking for

Wow. Exactly what I want to see. Subbed right away! (I can hardly believe this is the same YT algo that fed me som much horrendous BS)

Great video! I love rings of power because, even though its different, so many parts of it pay homage to the PJ trilogies, and feel very thematically Tolkein-esque. The music is one of the pieces I think McCreary did amazing work! Orignal, but reminds you of Howard Shore. I love the theme for Numenor.

The brilliance of artists like Bear McCreary and the actors were distinguished by how terrible the writing of this show was. They were so afraid to make this show raunchy and politically incorrect that they made a vanilla nonsense show.

finally, the video I needed

UPDATE A MONTH LATER: 12tone just did a video on this exact topic. The first half of that video is almost exactly the same material as this video, but then it goes into some other nuances about vowels and more. If you're interested, you can watch that through this link: ua-cam.com/video/5oHY-cQH_4c/v-deo.htmlsi=3e1D_vCYCSG8IdY3

I didn’t understand much, but loved every second of it!

Thank’s so much my friend 😊 The Lord’s love + grace be with you His Hope + peace, in Life, and beyond the grave Hope you are all well and resting in Jesus saving love + grace 😊 Warmest Love + blessing’s friends 😊

I haven't red notation for many years and even I can tell every individual note I can't follow the melody. That's what's happening when you use piano roll for so long. That doesn't take away from how good the video is. I just wish things were more imediate for visal creatures🙂

I found my corner of UA-cam

Holy cow I have heard this composer and have been drawn emotionally to his music Thank you!!!

That last one could easily be a new theme for the Alien franchise. Or some other drama-horror flick.

I think the best thing is musics. Other things are far away from being good ❤

Good stuff. Great analysis. These kind of things are always so fun to me to hear, explained by someone with a better musically vocabulary and ear than I. Makes me miss David W. Collins's podcast. Thank you. I do wonder if as seasons of this show progress we will start hearing some of Shore's themes incorporated and mixed with Bear's own themes. I hope that ends up being the case. Would be great to hear the Rivendell theme as it starts to be founded and developed next season. I really enjoyed hearing all three Thor movie themes by different composers in Thor Ragnarök, sort of all representing different aspects of the film and moods of the character. For me that worked well in that movie.

Cool.

The only real redeeming factor of the Rings of Power is the music and Ben Daniels as Círdan.

Do I understand any of this? No. Did I stay and listen to be amazed? Absolutely.

I did not like the series at all, but this video is gold! Tolkien is all about music.

Whole Tone rocking those Majora's Mask Great Bay vibes. ❤ favorite one

I could watch Shore's music analyzed for hours even though I don't understand music theory at all!

Great job Galen!
