THE BATTALIOS
“Lord of the Rings: Return
of the King - OST”
Composed by Howard Shore
Virgin Records
Howard Shore, music composer for the “Lord
of the Rings” trilogy, returns to Middle Earth for
the third installment of the “Lord of The Rings”
trilogy. Like “Return of the King,” Shore ends
with a sweep and flourish worthy of one of the
greatest trilogies of our time. His music contin
ues to give the movie a feeling of authenticity,
and he has clearly grown more in tune with
Tolkien’s classic.
His score continues in the same vein as the
previous movies, but he has toned it down to the
bare minimum. Shore relies more on the subtle
shadings of nuance and mood to convey the
movie’s atmospheres and auras. This works
extremely well given Shore’s amazing ability to
use music that resonates with one’s emotions
and feelings. The entire album takes listeners
deep into the psyche of the film, and it results in
an endearing emotional rollercoaster ride. “Hit
Ride of the Rohirrim” inspires, “End of
Things” makes the listener despair, “Shell
Lair” frightens and “Into the West” saddens ani
fills the audience with longing.
The entire score does an excellent jobol
reaching out and grabbing the audience ei»
tionally. Pippin Took’s (Billy Boyd) ami
Aragorn’s (Viggo Mortenson) songs are simplt
yet extremely moving, perhaps even the mosi
moving parts of the film. Anne Lennox’s Oscai-
nominated song “Into the West” gives a powei-
ful ending performance that allows the movieio
sail into memory as something more thanthelis-
teners can understand. The entire scoreisatii
umph and Howard Shore has done an amazingjol!
bringing Middle Earth to life through his music.

PEOPLE IN THE NEWS

Affleck gets "bumped
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla.
(AP) — Actor Ben Affleck got
the loudest ovation among the
celebrities who attended the
Daytona 500, but he also got
some bad news.
“They told me I was going to
be bumped, and I was like
’bumped?’ What are you talking
about bumped? Who’s bumping
me?”’ said Affleck, who drove
the pace car. ‘The President of the United States.’
”OK, terrific. Guess I’m bumped then.”
Affleck served as the grand marshal — even
though some of his duties were given to President
Bush. Whoopi Goldberg was an honorary starter,
and LeAnn Rimes sang the national anthem and
was the featured performer in the pre-race
“Tribute to America” show.
Lee Greenwood and the reigning Miss
America, Ericka Dunlap, also sang.

am very severely criticized by people who i
bother to read me at all.”
“Meridian,” first published in English in
explores the private internal and interpersowl
struggles of a young protagonist by the samen;
who is involved in the civil rights movement intk
United States.
“I feel that Meridian understands a very impoi
tant basic thing, which is that it is very importi
to choose the people who make up the majorityof
the planet, to stand with the poor and to stand wil
people who are struggling, because in the endm
will win,” said Walker, 60.
Walker, a Georgia native, won the Puli®
Prize for her 1982 novel “The Color Purple.”
Walker unveils book in Cuba
HAVANA (AP) — Pulitzer Prize-winning
author Alice Walker debuted
the Spanish translation of her
novel “Meridian” in Havana,
telling her Cuban fans there is a
direct correlation between the
U.S. civil rights movement and
the socialist revolution that
brought Fidel Castro to power.
“I thought about Cuba a lot
when I was writing this,”
Walker told a packed audience
Sunday at an international book fair. “It has meant
very much to me that Cubans have understood
