Stephen Oliver - Lament for the Fallen (from the BBC adaptation of "The Lord of the Rings")
This piece is my personal favourite, but I've always loved all of Stephen Oliver's music for the classic 1981 BBC Radio dramatisation of JRR Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings. This kind of English pastoral music is in my blood, ever will be. Alas, the soundtrack is only available on previously-owned vinyl LP (unless someone could kindly point me to a CD version which has NOT merely been taken from a vinyl copy, as with the BBC re-issue of 2002. Doubtless, they either destroyed or "lost" the master tapes). From Wikipedia: " [Inter alia] Stephen Oliver composed the score for the thirteen-hour radio dramatization of Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, first broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in 1981. The work combined a main theme with many sub-themes, all composed within the English pastoral tradition". I don't monetise my Channel, but many people, including myself, hold this BBC adaptation in the highest esteem, so if you are interested in buying all 13 hours of it, here's a link to the boxed set of 13 CD's at Amazon UK: https://www.amazon.co.uk/d/Books/Fell... This piece by Oliver is intended to convey the terrible consequences in the immediate aftermath of the Battle of Pellenor Fields at Minas Tirith. I may have misattributed some images; if so, my apologies - better that I think than a single static screenshot of an album cover ;) Note: I've just discovered that the painting of the mounted soldier at the stone is "A Knight at the Crossroads") by Viktor Vasnetsov (1848 - 1926). Conductor: Stephen Oliver (c) BBC 1981
