Howard Shore

thumb|Howard Shore Howard Leslie Shore (born October 18, 1946, in Toronto, Ontario) is a Canadian composer and conductor. Quotes I like to read a lot. I like the printed word. I find that structure–of words and sentences and paragraphs and chapters–a very good structure for writing music. Music also has a very linear quality on the page, of those five parallel lines and the bar structure of music. I start on projects always by reading. Interview with Brilliant Composer Howard Shore (February 16, 2005) I’m close to nature, and I draw a lot inspiration from nature. And I think my connection to Tolkien was also through nature. I think that’s how I made that connection to his writing: the love of everything green and good.
