The Lord of the Rings (symphony) is an orchestral piece composed by Howard Shore, the composer for the music of the original The Lord of the Rings film trilogy. This orchestral piece is not like a regular symphony for it is accompanied by a light show and art by Alan Lee and John Howe. This symphony is essentially a retelling of The Lord of the Rings, two movements for each of the three films, or one movement for each of the six books of the novel.
