"James Hannigan has been composing music for games since the early 1990s including classics like Freelancer and Evil Genius, and has won numerous awards for his work – most notably a British Academy Award in 2000. He turned out to be a remarkably apt choice to score The Lord of the Rings: Aragorn’s Quest not only because of his sheer musical talent – reaffirmed by recent titles like Red Alert 3, Command & Conquer 4 and the current Harry Potter games – but also because of his love of the game’s subject matter."
