Thanks for watching! The next video will be a new composition.

I really like the fact that you took inspiration from that scene in The Two Towers where the final note of the Shire Theme is held until it sounds ominous, signaling Gollum's presence & his oncoming theme. It's so satisfying to hear when two themes melt into each other this seamlessly. It also reminded me of your elegant solution to the rescored "Farewell Dear Bilbo" scene that incorporates a great transformation from "The Seduction of the Ring" into "Dreaming of Bag End" motif – that time the atmosphere was the other way round, from worrisome to warm. Either way, it's so great to hear!

I love both the music and the way it is described. They are both top tier

You composed tracks in the LOTR style?! Man you're amazing

3:24 Why are there unison whole notes in the last two bars? I've seen something like that before, but I don't get it.

Good video. Can't beat a good chronatic mediant! Could you maybe do a version where you speak the text
