Abstract

Ovaj diplomski rad istražuje glazbu Howarda Shorea u filmskoj trilogiji Gospodar prstenova, s posebnim naglaskom na lajtmotive i simboliku koja prati priču. Analizirat ćemo kako Shoreova glazba doprinosi stvaranju epske atmosfere i pomaže u karakterizaciji likova i događaja. Također, istražit ćemo kako se glazbeni motivi mijenjaju kroz tri filma, oblikujući emocionalni intenzitet scena. Cilj rada je otkriti ulogu glazbe u Tolkienovoj mitološkoj priči te njezin doprinos ukupnom doživljaju trilogije, s posebnim osvrtom na povezanost glazbe s likovima iz Tolkienovih knjiga. Kroz ovu analizu pružit ćemo novi uvid u Shoreovu tehniku skladanja i njegovu sposobnost da kroz glazbu prenese bogatstvo Međuzemlja.

Abstract (english)

This thesis explores Howard Shore's music in the Lord of the Rings film trilogy, with a particular focus on leitmotifs and the symbolism that accompanies the narrative. We will analyze how Shore's music contributes to creating an epic atmosphere and helps in the characterization of both characters and events. Furthermore, we will examine how the musical motifs evolve throughout the three films, shaping the emotional intensity of the scenes. The aim of this paper is to uncover the role of music in Tolkien's mythological tale and its contribution to the overall experience of the trilogy, with a special emphasis on the connection between the music and the characters from Tolkien's books. Through this analysis, we will offer new insights into Shore's compositional technique and his ability to convey the richness of Middle-earth through music.
