My Big Score

Composer Stephen Gallagher and Score Mixer Mark Willsher join us to discuss the new animated film The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim (now streaming on HBO Max)! We discuss building new music and themes in such an august franchise, how to keep momentum going when a 'journey' comes to a halt, how to create the feeling of cold, and much more. Join us, won't you, as we discuss The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim.
