Description
SKU: CN.09081
Composed by Kimberly Archer. Score only. Duration 3:20. Published by C. Alan Publications (CN.09081).In the Gathering Dark is the first installment of an unofficial Lord of the Rings triptych. The title refers to a moment in the second film where, as two massive armies brace for a cataclysmic battle, a narrator reminds the audience that in the gathering dark, the Ring's power continues to grow. The music is largely minimalist (a pulse-based style developed by John Adams, Philip Glass, Steve Reich, and others), with explosive moments.
In the Gathering Dark is the first installment of an unofficial Lord of the Rings triptych. The title refers to a moment in the second film where, as two massive armies brace for a cataclysmic battle, a narrator reminds the audience that in the gathering dark, the Ring's power continues to grow. This struck me as a particularly vivid image: the gradual descent of darkness and dread. The music is largely minimalist (a pulse-based style developed by John Adams, Philip Glass, Steve Reich, and others), with explosive moments.
