Music

Diplomacy music:

From Elda King's suggestions:


EDAIN - Minas Tirith theme (perfect bit in mind)
MIDDLE MEN - Rohan theme
DARK MEN - I'll see if the ROTK soundtrack has any Harad bits, or maybe the Isengard theme
NOLDOR - the Lórien theme (the bit at the very beginning of the Lothórien bit)
SINDAR - something from Rivendell
AVARI - random Elf music
DWARVES - I'll see what I can pull out of the Moria bit
THE SHADOW - the Minas Morgul theme, or something else if it happens to be more suited.

and from Pariah's suggestions:

*Númenórean Empire - Nazgûl stuff
*Arnor Empire - maybe some Aragorn-related music
*Gondor Empire - Gondor theme - know the perfect bit (as I said)
*?Edain Empire - no idea, maybe more Aragorn-stuff

*Druedain or Púkel Men Empire - no idea
*Variag Empire - no idea

*Noldor Empire - probably some bits from Lothlórien

*Teleri Empire - no idea
*Sindar Empire - The poem-song I mentioned earlier
*Nandor Empire - no idea
*Falas Empire - no idea

*Vanyar Empire - no idea
^Probably for all of those I'll just take some random Elvish music

*Hobbit Empire - Flaming Red Hair [the party song]
 
I don't know if I should...
I don't have your email address anyway.
 
For the elven songs, i was thinking about some nightwish's song, like moondance (which, in my opinion, would fit perfectly), or evlenpath. Would need a bit of music editing though, since we'de have to remove the voices and tone them down a bit, but still that'd make great elvish music.
 
I would suggest to use some Enya, as well as some songs from Blind Guardian like Gandalf the Magician, Gandalf's Rebirth, By the Gates of Moria, and if we can remove the voices we can use Lord of the Rings, The Bards Song, and the album Nightfall in Middle-Earth.
I don't know Nightwish very well, but I'll see it.
 
Awesome! I didn't know Blind Guardian had songs about ME. I got one or two songs from them (the old Kazaa day) and I like the band. Maybe I'll get an album or two if I get to buy some music.
 
Do You know that Jimmy Page and Robert Plant (members of Led Zeppelin) were ispired by the books of The Mighty Tolkien.
Some songs, for example talks about warriors and the cultures from the north, like the celts.

-Immigrant Song, Ramble On and The Battle of Evermore.-
 
If we need some Shadow music, we could use o fortuna from Carmina Burana, by carl orff.
 
Yeah, music will be very important, maybe a cool LOTR theme song from the movie could be going at the main menu? :)..would be great.
 
Would it be legal to just use music from the LOTR soundtracks
 
Truly, not. It's illegal even if we are not going to have any profit with the mod. But, in rigour, using names like Middle-Earth, Gandalf and such is also illegal. I discussed this with other Middle-Earth related modders for many games, they consulted lawyers and some even contacted the authorities (if I remember well, it was Saul Zaents Company), and truly all images, names and musics of the books and the movies are copyrighted, so we theorically would need to change everything a little. Also, putting excerpts from the books, using images from the movies and drawings by various artists (we found them on the Internet, and sometimes we don't even know the artists), using music from the movies, and everything is not legal. But, as far as we don't get any money with it, I don't think we are doing anything wrong, and they probably won't care about it. It's not like we are putting the whole soundtrack for download and speaking on the TV about it.
