Howard Shore or Hans Zimmer

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Howard Shore's work is vast and diverse, covering a very wide range of genres.  Maybe the problem is that when someone does the scoring really well, it fits the movie like a glove and nobody notices it, upon which they may conclude that, oh, he is nothing amazing as a composer. The idea of a score IS that it should not stand out except in the frames where the film needs the music to provide the required emotion.

	Two film music composers with list of films longer then one can remember with music to your most beloved films. I went over Howard Shores list of films and its quite staggeringly manny, and quite few of them are accadamy award nominated and won. Most famlus is hes score for Lord of the Rings whom is forever engraved into our minds with fondness. Hans Zimmer star hav shined from when he scored in Lion King in early 90s. Hes list of films is also endless. Hes use of electronics in fklm score sets him appart from the othef giants (like Williams, Elfmann, Newton Howard and Shore).
