The cue by cue pages contain
information about the
regular (OST) or limited edition
(LE)
soundtrack CDs.
Each page has the
following sections (as applicable):
TRACK LENGTH &
GENERAL SCENE DESCRIPTION
CUE BY CUE: this is
a moment by moment description of the music and
how it fits with scenes from the movie. It looks
like this:
|
0:00 |
– |
Chorus sings the
Rivendell Theme
over a distant view of Rivendell with an Elven Rider in the
foreground. Cut to Frodo’s reunion with Sam then Merry and Pippin. |

0:00 |

A Elbereth Gilthoniel Silivren penna míriel

Time stamps in
the left column correspond with the track's
progress. Included in this section are
-
THEMES heard
during the track - these names are links
that will take you to that theme's page. If
you have not visited that page yet, the link
looks like this.
Once you have visited the page, it looks
like this.
-
LYRICS sung
during the track. These are in
green.
-
GREY LINES:
When the action of the screen is not
continuous, I've inserted a grey line. The
scenes before and after the grey line are
not contiguous with each other in the
movie... or the music before or after the
grey line is not in the movie.
SOURCE TEXT
INFORMATION: this identifies the source text for
any singing heard in the track. The name is a
link that will take you to that source text's
page. On that page, you can find the full source
text, other places that text was used, and
information regarding language, translation,
composer, author, artists, etc. It looks like
this:
DETAILED TIME
STAMP INFO FOR LYRICS: this section is for the
fan who wants to sing along. I have this
information for many of the 'songs' on the
soundtrack but not all. The times stamps on the
Cue by Cue pages are for the regular/special
edition soundtracks. The times stamps for the
Complete Recordings have their
own page.
NOTES: These give
more information on some aspect of the
information on the page. Often, it is a
speculation or information as to what a piece of unused music
might have been intended for. In a few cases,
towards the end of the ROTK Cue by Cues, I made
some personal notes about finishing this aspect
of my site.
LINKS TO OTHER
TRACKS: If you're moving through the soundtrack,
you could use the PREV. (previous) or NEXT
buttons or just click on another track for that
same movie CD.
