100%. The score of Lotr is 10/10... so good. And so fitting.

Greatest score of all time, no question

Life changing. The sound made the movies more alive. It is beautiful.

I had the honor of watching him conduct his LOTR Symphony years back. They showed concept art as they played, it was such a cool experience.

[@LeWacoKid]

The films wouldn't have been as good without the score, tremendous work.

We remember lord of the rings through his music

I will always be grateful for this man.

[@RizztrainingOrder]

The perfect musical creation that guides the viewer through a fantastical world resulting in sheer joy, it truly is the epitome of perfection and The pinnacle of film scoring!

[@memphismartin196]

The absolute greatest film score of all time. I love the movies and I can just listen to Howard's work without Peter's movies and it still make me transport to middle earth immediately.

[@robertjohnston1920]

Literally amazing music that guides you through each chapter and character's vignette in each scene. So elegant and perfect, the choir is just tremendous for the atmosphere of the film.

[@smith9808]

IMO it’s the greatest soundtrack of all time.

Best film score ever

[@creativelightning9703]

When I watch lord of the rings I always wonder if the intense love I feel is because of the movie amplifying the music or the other way around. I think it is both
