Focuses too much on the vocal parts of the score.By TomasThis book focuses on the vocal pieces from the movies. like the tracks that have Elvish lyrics. Im very disappointed.There are some gorgeous parts of the soundtrack that are left out of this. especially one of the main themes that sounds very grandiose that is played when they are walking through the mountains (from 1:15 in "The Ring Goes South"). What the heck?! Who decides not to include that theme?Example: perhaps the best track in all of the Lord of the Rings trilogy is "The Grey Havens" (in my opinion of course). It is beautiful but isnt in this music book."Return of the King" in the third movie is another beautiful track that is 10:14 long. However they only have a small portion of the piece: the portion that has vocals.13 of 13 people found the following review helpful. Great up until the endBy Amy PresleyI was excited to get this book in. I was mostly looking forward to "Concerning Hobbits" and "Into the West." "Concerning Hobbits" is great. but I was really disappointed in "Into the West." Its just the piano accompaniment with the melody/solo line above it. I would have liked a more "piano solo." You can hardly tell what it is just playing the piano part from this book. I love that song. so Im going to keep looking for a true piano solo arrangement. And I wish "Grey Havens" was in this book. but its not. But if you like most of the music from the trilogy. absolutely get this book. Its a great value. and cheaper on than on other sheet music sites. though I think delivery time might have been longer.

It i not too difficult and captures the moments quite well. But this is NOT IN ANY WAY PIANO SOLO. Most of the songs are for piano and voice/choir. Usually the piano accompniment includes the parts. but not always. This is the only reason it does not deserve the 5 stars that it should have.
