Lord of the Rings, Return of the King

The music in Lord of the Rings: Return of the King was very similar to that of Williams music in Star Wars. The music in the film truly powered the fantasy of Middle Earth. The epic music heard in during the fight scenes to the eerie music that emphasised the rings power are just a few examples of the traits that are similar to classical Hollywood films. Another trait that is similar to classical Hollywood films are the wall to wall music. Leitmotifs, such as that of the ring itself, can be heard throughout the whole trilogy.
