Request for Lotr MIDI files

[Isilmacil]

Greetings all. While I love the music system (and have recently joined a band), I wanted to find some MIDI files from the lord of the rings soundtracks. However, the only pieces I could find online were few, and none were the pieces I was specifically looking for.

Now I have no musical talent in making my own, so I was wondering if anyone already has a MIDI library of the lord of the rings music from the movies, or would be willing to make it for the music community to share.

Any and all all help will be greatly appreciated, thank you!

This thread is old, but I'll answer it anyway

Check out Alcaeru's Sheet Music for Hobbit and LOTR songs. The Fellowship of the Ring complete transcription includes every song from the first movie and it's particularly good.

I also found a Howard Shore Collection Vol 2 sheet music collection in my local library that included a few songs that I don't think Alcaeru has, such as "The End of All Things" from Return of the King, "Dreaming of Bag End", "Erebor" and "The Dwarf Lords" from The Hobbit: Unexpected Journey, and "Beyond the Forest" from The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug.

If you have Musescore, you can import a .PDF file of sheet music to listen to the playback of it. If you like the playback of it, you can export the file to MIDI, or with an added plug-in, export the file to an .ABC format that can be used in a LOTRO band.

Pibgorn actually sounds really good when it's paired up with a bagpipe and a sorrowful song Don't laugh. Nobody ever writes for a pibgorn these days.

If you are listening to The Eagle Song in the ABC Player, keep in mind that the dynamics don't work in the ABC player and the lute and bagpipe will overwhelm the main voice line when they're all played at the same velocity.
