#58 The Tales that Really Matter - a Reading by Maren

The Wisdom in the Myth of The Lord of the Rings

On this episode of “Death in The Garden,” Maren is reading her recent piece, The Tales that Really Matter - Part I. In this audio essay, you’ll hear tracks and clips from The Lord of the Rings films by Peter Jackson, and music composed by Howard Shore. Additionally, you’ll hear original synth soundscapes inspired by Howard Shore’s compositions, from the songs “In Dreams”, “The Road Goes Ever On…, Pt. 1”, and “Samwise the Brave”.

All credit for movie clips and songs used goes to Peter Jackson et al. and Howard Shore.
