Music Monday: Lord of the Rings

This past weekend was the Stockholm NaNoWriMo group's overnight write-in at a scout cabin in Upplands Väsby. It was great fun and also incredibly productive (for me, at least).  Our ML, Alba, is incredibly organized and clearly went to a lot of work to make it fun for everyone: there was chocolate, a warm and hearty dinner, screenprinting, and music. We didn't keep the music on the whole time, but for a couple hours it provided a nice ambiance. Cheesy television theme songs, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows Part 2, and The Hobbit kept us going.

In consideration of that last selection, and also in consideration of the fact that JV has gotten me hooked on War in the North, today's Music Monday is the soundtrack for the entire Lord of the Rings movie trilogy:

There you have it: nearly four hours of symphonic, cinematic mood music.
