Things are getting real!
A few days ago, an unreleased track from the upcoming, highly anticipated movie The Hobbit - An Unexpected Journey has been released - "Radagast the Brown"
Howard Shore's iconic signature music from The Lord of the Rings is immediately recognizable. Warm, soothing angelic voices from a children's choir open the piece ... you instantly feel carried back to the world of J.R.R. Tolkien ... yet, an unexpected, Slavic-influenced violin solo marks a fresh and new touch to the familiar sound of Middle-Earth. Agitated strings drive the piece forward, making it becoming darker and more dramatic.
It took me several times to listen to the entire track again to get used to that new sound. But with each time, I've more and more fallen in love with it. Now it belongs to my everyday playlist until the movie is coming out in theaters on December 14th.
Besides "Radagast the Brown", an old new track has made its appereance on the official Hobbit website - "Old Friends", already known from The Lord of the Rings, yet slightly varied, injecting some hints of adventure and mystery, quoting even the melody from the moment we see the famous map at Bag End in The Fellowship of the Rings. We are excited!
