Fellowship of the Ring w/ Nicolás Repetto

My Big Score

We journey back to Middle-Earth with composer Nicolás Repetto (Empire Queen: The Golden Age of Magic) to discuss Howard Shore's first swing at the Lord of the Rings with The Fellowship of the Ring. We discuss thematic construction, fantasy movie music tropes, Nicolás' origin as a composer, and what it takes to score a watch. Not a watch commercial, a watch. Join us, won't you, as we head to the Shire for Fellowship of the Ring!

You can find more of Nicolás' work here: https://www.nicolasrepetto.com/ and you can find him on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/repettomuzik/
