Movie Music Tournament Round 2

Composers have a huge responsibility when they're hired to write music for movies. They need to set the right tone for not only the scene itself, but for the whole arc of the movie's storyline. Submitters sent in their favorite choices for movie music that set the tone in this way, and now you get to vote for the best one!

Which track is better?

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring: Concerning Hobbits

The Lego Movie: Emmet's Morning

Remaining time: 6 days 18 hours

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring is Peter Jackson's opening film of the trilogy of movies based on J.R.R. Tolkien's novel series. The movies are considered some of the last films to masterfully use practical effects and miniatures (some of which were referred to as "bigatures" because they were so large for miniatures), in combination with CGI and other modern VFX methods. Released in 2001, the movie was both the most recent movie added to the American Film Institute's 2007 list of the 100 Greatest American Films in History, and the only one added from the 21st century. The story follows the adventures of Frodo Baggins and his eponymous Fellowship of travelers, who seek to destroy the One Ring.

The score for the trilogy of films was composed by Howard Shore.

The Lego Movie is a 2014 animated adventure comedy film based on the Lego line of construction toys. In a Lego universe, wizard Vitruvius fails to protect a superweapon called the Kragle—a tube of adhesive—from the maniacal Lord Business, but prophesies that a person called "the Special" will find the Piece of Resistance, an item capable of stopping the Kragle. Years later, construction worker Emmett Brickowski becomes embroiled in trying to solve the problem.

The score for the film was written by Mark Mothersbaugh.

Propaganda from the submitter, @tj-dragonblade:

Chock full of menace and awe. The bottom end of the orchestra really shines on this one. Very heavy-metal sensibilities for an orchestral piece.

The score for the film was written by Mark Knopfler.

Le Chat du Rabbin (Eng: The Rabbi's Cat) is a 2011 adult animated film made in France. A rabbi, living in 1920s Algeria, owns a mischievous cat who swallows his parrot and realizes he can talk. Due to discovering his rude and arrogant nature, however, the rabbi begins to teach the cat about Torah, and the cat requests to have his Bar Mitzvah in response. The two then go to the rabbi's rabbi for a consultation about the idea, and the session does not go well.

The score for this film was written by Olivier Daviaud.
