Abstract
RESUMEN:
En su obra literaria, Tolkien crea un complejo mundo ficcional en el que sitúa distintas etnias y pueblos con su propia historia y cultura. Debido a la motivación filológica de su obra, en obras como «El Señor de los Anillos» es posible observar la idiosincrasia de estas culturas ficcionales a través de sus ritos y costumbres, su lengua y habla e incluso sus nombres. La adaptación cinematográfica de la obra de Peter Jackson, sin embargo, ofrece un elemento añadido que permite representar la cultura de cada uno de estos pueblos: la banda sonora. La música de Howard Shore, de este modo, contribuye a la configuración de la identidad cultural de elfos, hombres, «hobbits» u orcos, gracias al uso de determinados instrumentos, temas, modos o dinámicas.
ABSTRACT: Tolkien’s literary work recreates a complex fictional world inhabited by different peoples and ethnic groups with their own history and culture. Given his philological motivation, works such as «The Lord of the Rings» show the idiosyncrasies of each people through their history and traditions, their language and speech and even their names. Peter Jackson’s film version, however, provides an additional element that contributes to the representation of these peoples and cultures: the soundtrack. Hence, Howard’s Shore music plays a major role in the configuration of the identity of elves, men, «hobbits» or orcs, by means of different instruments, themes, modes and dynamics.
