This is incredible. Thank you to the members of the Academy. I had
the good fortune of having such fantastic collaborators on this
project. Peter Jackson, Fran Walsh, Philippa Boyens who guided me
on an amazing journey through Middle Earth. It was just a tremendously
rewarding experience to translate the words of Tolkien into music
and I just feel blessed to be a part of this production. I want
to thank my wife Elizabeth and daughter Mae whose love and support
are incredible to me and have just guided me on my journey. Thanks
to Bob Shaye, Michael Lynne, Mark Ordesky, Paul Broucek, Barrie
Osborne, everybody at, the crew in Tuxedo. I love you all. Thank
you very much.
Additional Thanks
Thank you so much to the Academy. I was so lucky to have Peter Jackson,
as well as Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens, guide me on an incredible
journey through Middle Earth, a journey rewarding on so many levels.
It is immensely gratifying to have the oportunity to express musically
the worlds of J.R.R. Tolkien, a dream come true. Now to be rewarded
in this way is both humbling and exhilarating!
Especially thanks to my incredible wife Elizabeth and daughter
Mae, for their unwavering love and encouragement and for continuing
to make my life fun.
I have many people to thank, foremost Bob Shaye and Michael Lynne
for believing in this film from the start. Mark Ordesky for his
strength and conviction. Barrie Osborne, Danny Bramson, Toby Emmerich,
Russell Schwartz and Rick Porras for their tenacity. Paul Broucek,
Michael Tremante, Susana Peric and John Kurlander for their admirable
stamina and creativity. To all of the musicians and vocalists for
