I may have set my hopes a little too high on this, but I can't help it. But, like I said, I think this is the best opportunity for Hayley as far as major movie soundtracks at this moment in time. That's why I had to at least try! Just remember, even if she doesn't get to do the first movie, remember there will be 2 other chances for her to do it. So, please, I beg you, no "I told you so's" until 2014. And no more pessimism, either. Thank you. i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif |

Don't worry Libby, I for one applaud your efforts on Hayley's behalf. You will never know what could have happened if you don't try.

Thanks your support, guys.  I'm with you, Libby. One day we will get to see her here. Don't give up. Yes, I certainly hope so. But oh, how wonderful it would be to hear Hayley's voice in the movie theater... and to see her performing on the Academy Awards! Oh, I can dream, yes, I can, and I won't let any tiremen spoil it for me!  |

I'd love to hear her sing some of the songs Tolkien wrote for his novels, honestly. I think the greatest songwriter of Middle Earth will always be Tolkien himself. Hayley singing the 'Elbereth Gilthaniel' chant thing (Well, it's all Elven - how would you describe it?  ) would sound amazing. Also, I have to say that Libby is not remotely grovelling, just trying to support her artist. |

BREAKING NEWS: According to the author of The Music of the Lord of the Rings, Doug Adams, recording for the Hobbit is "commencing" today! www.theonering.net/torwp/2012/08/20/61016-on-the-hobbit-recording-sessions-doug-adams-book-the-music-of-the-hobbit-films/ Also, he's going to write a book on The Hobbit's music. I need to check out the LOTR one from the library!  I asked him (via twitter) if he knows how long it might take to record the whole soundtrack. Let's see if he answers, or even knows. The minute I saw the news, pessism began to set in. I'm beginning to think that even if Hayley is chosen, it probably won't be in the first film, just to torture me. LOL However, I don't expect any theme songs to be recorded the first day. I'm remembering vaguely that Hayley's album Paradiso took about 3 or 4 days, according to her twitter. But then, some of the tracks in movie scores are fairly long, so I bet it takes a little longer to record a movie score than a singer's album. I keep hoping the London Philharmonic (or even Hayley) will drop a hint on their twitter page, but they haven't said a word about it yet. I also wonder at what point they'll reveal any singers involved; will they tell us ahead of time, or will they make us wait till the movie comes out? Oh, the agony!  |

Everyone involved is probably sworn to silence, right now. It's not like the story can be spoiled, as it's one pretty much everyone has read by now, but there's a lot of things they can do for the film that will look - or sound - awesome. Even though the quickest artists just wander into the studio, sing and record, and are done, that's the really fast part of the whole thing, from what I understand. The mixing studio stuff can take months and that's nowhere near as complicated as a film score, which is going to be at least twice the length of a normal album and probably anything from 4-6 times the length for The Hobbit specifically. So if Hayley is involved, we likely won't know it for a while yet. We can certainly hope, though |

Libby,
I think Paradiso took much more than 3 or 4 days to record. She was in Rome for weeks - and has said she spent most of 2010 doing it. She even cancelled several concerts if you remember, so it might have taken longer than expected.
The one that was really quick was HSJS1. That was recoded in 3 days we were told, in the week before her first Buxton concert and her 21st birthday.
As for the film, she is doing other things this week as we know, so she won't be involved right now. But I would expect that the recording will take many weeks, so she could be involved later. We can always hope.

No, I'm actually I'm talking about Hayley herself recording the vocals, not the entire process. I will have to go back and find those tweets about it. I know she mentioned the number of days she'd been doing it, and I'm pretty sure she said 4. But I'll go back and find it. But thanks for your encouragement. Your comment makes me feel a little better. I have been worried about her schedule for this week and next, as far as how busy she is for an extra thing like that. But, knowing PJ and team, if they really want someone in their movies, they will accomodate them. That's what they did for the guy playing Bilbo, Martin Freeman. He initially turned it down because of his busy schedule with that Sherlock show he's in, but PJ really wanted him and adjusted the shooting schedule just for him! I'm hoping to read the Music of the LOTR book soon, to see if there are any details on the singers' role in the music. |

I get the impression the orchestra is mostly done with the recording. The author of the book, Doug Adams said his fingers were numb from typing, and it seemed to mean that he was done for the time being. I asked him if he'd been doing some writing for the Music of The Hobbit, and he said "Oh, a little of this, a little of that". i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif |
