Shore wrote many hours of music for The Lord of the Rings, effectively scoring the entire film length. Over 13 hours of the music (including various alternate takes) have been released across various formats. Shore conceived the score as operatic and antiquated-sounding.
He made use of an immense ensemble including a large symphony orchestra (principally, the London Philharmonic Orchestra), multiple instrumental "bands", various choirs, and vocal and instrumental soloists, requiring an ensemble ranging from 230 to 400 musicians. Throughout the composition, Shore has woven over 100 identified leitmotifs (or over 160, when considering the music of the Hobbit films), which are interrelated and categorized into groups that correspond to the Middle-earth cultures to which they relate, forming one of the greatest and most intricate collections of themes in the history of cinema.

The series music is widely regarded as one of the greatest achievements in the history of film music and became the most successful of Shore's career, earning three Oscars, two Golden Globes, three Grammys, and several other nominations. Some of his themes (like the Shire theme) and songs earned great popularity. The music was the subject of a short documentary film called Howard Shore: An Introspective, and has earned a dedicated research-based book by the musicologist Doug Adams. The music continues to be performed by choirs and orchestras around the world as symphony pieces, concert suites and live to-projection concerts. 2.3 First appearance in The Return of the King.2.1.5 Themes recurring from The Hobbit and in Alternate forms of the Soundtrack.2.1.4 Themes for Middle Earth: "Another Path" theme.2.1 First appearance in The Fellowship of the Ring.They were voted the best soundtrack of all time by a Classic FM listener poll for six years straight.
