The Lord of the Rings - Instrumental Solos (Cello/Piano)
Cello (with Piano Acc.)
By Howard Shore

I am thrilled with this purchase for my great nephew. Sending to him so cannot at this stage say much more except I think it is well-presented and enticing to a student of the cello, particularly also having the CD.

My son loves his cello and his LOTR. I bought this not knowing what to expect, but my son loves it. He plays his cello more often now which makes me happy. He says its very good sheet music with most of the 'good' melodies from LOTR.

Howard Shore clearly loves the cello! I have been playing for about a month, and was able to read and play (roughly for now) the cello solos (I haven't tried the piano parts yet). If you are a fan of the LOTR movies, you will especially have fun playing...

from this book. The toughest part was picking out what to learn first. The CD comes with a version of each song that includes the solo, and one without (to play along). Lots of fun and helpful for learning.

I bought this for my 10 year old daughter for Christmas. I was looking for music that was exciting for her as she was getting bored with the classical she was playing. This music has been a big hit. She now plays everyday without asking. The CD's make it...

very easy to play with, plus we listen to the music when she isn't playing :) Highly recommended.

Quality transcription. CD allows for simulation of "orchestra" play & solo play. Requires ability to sight read, follow tempo. It was an incentive that in accomplishing, the remembrance of the wonderful story could be felt.
