"Howard Leslie Shore is a Canadian composer and conductor, most noted for his film scores. He has composed the music for over 80 films, including The Fly, The Silence of the Lambs, Gangs of New York, A History of Violence, King Kong, and Spotlight. He won three Academy Awards for his work on The Lord of the Rings, and the scores are often considered to represent one of the greatest achievements in the history of film music in terms of length of the score, the size of the staged forces, the unusual instrumentation, the featured soloists, the multitude of musical styles and the number of recurring musical themes used.
The music for this suite comes from all three movies: The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, and The Return of the King. The suite also features the songs In Dreams, The Edge of Night, and Into the West, as well as solos from the violin and instruments throughout the wind ensemble. In all, 17 separate musical moments from the film score are used."
