"Composing the music for The Lord of the Rings: War in the North was a very inspirational, creative process," said Zur. "The story is very compelling, and this had a direct influence on my music. As a long time fan of The Lord of the Rings, I always dreamed to be a part of this franchise, and when this dream came true, I was extremely motivated to tell the emotional story of this dark heroic adventure and its captivating characters. Bringing on board the London Philharmonia Orchestra at the legendary Abbey Road studios magnified the music to new heights. I am so grateful to Warner Bros. for their support and Im very excited to have you, the players, be a part of this musical experience and hope you will be as engaged as myself."
