Since 2004, he has toured the world conducting local orchestras in the performance of his new symphonic arrangement of his highly acclaimed "Lord of the Rings" scores. The new work is entitled "The Lord of the Rings: Symphony in Six Movements". There are two movements for each of the movies, and an intermission between the second and third (or first and second film titles) movements. The concert presentation of the symphony also includes projected still images of sketches by John Howe and Alan Lee relating the music being performed to scenes from the films. Recently, however, Shore has been busy with other projects, leaving other conductors including Markus Huber, Ludwig Wicki, Alexander Mickelthwaite, and John Mauceri to lead the orchestras.
