LISTEN to the complete The Hobbit soundtrack


Yesterday Peter Jackson and team unveiled Neil Finn's song from The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. Today, we have the full soundtrack for your listening pleasure, and it's embedded below. Listen, enjoy and get a taste of what we're in for come December 13 when the film hits screens.

Howard Shore is the composer here, building on his own work from The Lord Of The Rings trilogy. You'll hear very specific echoes of elements from that work throughout the whole album, giving this a clear link to our first adventures in Middle-earth, but there are new themes here for the new characters too.

Unfortunately, because of copyright concerns, the widget doesn't allow you to skip from track to track, but you can listen to the full thing here, which we think is worth that slight inconvenience.

This soundtrack will be available to buy on December 10 in a regular and deluxe edition from all good retailers both physical and digital, and you can pre-order it at the link above. The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey of course hits cinemas on December 13, and you can read all about it in the current issue of Empire, either in all good newsagents or on the iPad edition or US iPad edition.

Whoa OP, at first I thought you said the soundtrack was an utter flop. Then I reread the sentence and felt dumb.

Anyways, gorgeous music.

i'm looking forward to seeing what they're going to do with the third film tho since it's based mostly on the appendices

All the LOTR flashbacks are making me so emotional.

WEEPING.

OMFG, so beautiful. Howard Shore, you own me. I hear "Concerning Hobbits" in there.
doverz 13th-Nov-2012 07:50 pm (UTC)
There's so much LOTR music in it. It's so awesome.
fatesarchitect 13th-Nov-2012 08:16 pm (UTC)
My husband is laughing at me because I'm crying. But it's so sweet. At the risk of sounding totally stupid, I'd never thought I'd feel like this/hear this music again for a new movie. SO MANY FEELS.

I'm worried that my ish with Martin Freeman is going to take away from my enjoyment of the movies.

IDK IDK.

I've accepted that I will never love the Hobbit cast as much as the LotR cast, which makes me a bit sad, but castingwise, I actually think he is perfect, much as I dislike him
anchors_oceans 13th-Nov-2012 08:06 pm (UTC)
you might grow into them. keep an open mind, bb.
jaimelannister 13th-Nov-2012 08:06 pm (UTC)
Just focus on Richard Armitage and Aiden Turner's beauty.
radwimp 13th-Nov-2012 08:07 pm (UTC)

imkevinspacey 13th-Nov-2012 08:44 pm (UTC)
Same, I feel like some divine power put Richard in to placate me. One of my favs for someone I despise.
bexclare 13th-Nov-2012 08:00 pm (UTC)

Well, my life is at a complete stop for the next hour and forty five minutes or so.
