  • Shore recorded this early version of "The Breaking of the Fellowship" with the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra. The sequence was reedited before the London recording sessions, so after he re-scored the music, the London Philharmonic was asked to perform the new arrangement. The NZSO's stunning performance, however, can still be heard under the Fan Club credits on the Fellowship Extended Edition DVD.
    Music composed, orchestrated and conducted by Howard Shore.

    Lord of the Rings has the biggest heart of any soundtracks written the last 100 years. No soundtrack touches the essence of its movie more than this one. It's not music, it's a living breathing organism that complements your soul. The only other music that ever did to me what Lord of the Rings did, is Richard Wagner's grail operas. Breaking of the Fellowship is a similar experience to hearing Lohengrin Overture for the first time. It transcends humanism. It opens up a part of your soul that may possibly never have been opened up until that moment.

      Yeah the soundtrack is my favourite 'character' of the trilogy.
      Those notes that hit as Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli give chase, cutting to Sam and Frodo, hits me like no other peice of music does

      Absolutely phenomenal perspective on this! This is one of the most essential, transcendental film scores of all time. The labor of love that Howard Shore put into every note, motif, and theme is something that, as you say, stands among the classical composers of yore. Just incredible and soul-stirring.

    This is amazing - the original version is the most memorable soundtrack music piece for me, and Howard Shore could top it with an (even better) alternate version. This version of the Shire motif at the end is just a real tearjerker, even more than the original.

    This should be used in a closing montage for the series finale of The Rings of Power. We see the harfoots settling in the shire, Elrond settling in Rivendell, Galadriel settling in Lothlorien, Isidulr in Gondor, etc etc…

    This track makes me do that face Legolas does anytime someone dies. I love how it dips in and out between the version in the movie and the parts that were changed, like it's both, all the way through, not just a whole section that got cut out or something. It's really moving and elegant and both the original, and this version, are my favourite parts of the entire LOTR soundtrack.

      Update after few months: After few hundred more listenings last few months, I'm happy to say that I appreciate this track a lot more. Still don't think that it's as good as final version that was in FOTR, but I love it so much. Listening to it is like a spirtual experience. I love how this particular version of The Breaking of the Fellowship was used in Andrew Lesnie's Tribute in Battle of the Five Armies appendices. Incredible flute parts.

    I agree that this version if phenominal, but cmon guys, its not better then the final version. I love the theme at 3:09, but the end of the movie is not the place to introduce a new leitmotif for the Hobbits. Using the shire theme for the moment where Sam and Frodo hug is far stronger. I really love swapping the Fellowship Theme coming before the Road Goes ever on theme at 4:15, but it doesn't make up for the fact that this version doesn't have the drums at the climax of the song. The drums completed the finished version in my opinion, and it feels a bit empty without them.

    0:55 God: So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All you have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to you.
    [1:14 At that moment, Straw Hat Ryan heroically decides that he will do everything he can to make sure there is a possible way to undo Ada's Omnipotence and restore everyone's memories of Boruto as well as bring Naruto and Hinata back to the shinobi world no matter what]
