"The book is so musical, you wanted to have some aspect of that writing in the film," Shore said
Some of the elvish songs gain a floating, ethereal quality through long passages of sustained notes at the highest and lowest ranges of the human voice, Walker said, "so it's vocally very demanding
Die-hard worldwide "Rings" fans saved the expensive production from cancellation in Columbus as the symphony, amid layoffs, looked last fall to drop undersold events, Hart said
"We had never seen such advance sales on a show," Hart said "In Montreal, I saw lots of 'Lord of the Rings' books around (at rehearsals) Tolkien's three novels
The songs are beautiful and otherworldly â€â€? and a challenging teaching tool, said Gayle Walker, choral director at Otterbein in suburban Westerville

The live work features many of the score's vocal pieces, which Shore said represent the poems and songs peppering Tolkien's pages R "
Walker, who read the books four times in junior high, said the movies and music captured them perfectly
In a time of static classical music audiences, the orchestra committed to an expensive, complicated production involving 200 performers, including two choirs that must learn invented languages, a full orchestra and musicians playing Norwegian fiddle, Japanese drums, African flutes and clanking chains
"This thing was definitely on the block," Hart said He's also still "shaping" and editing the concert work Then he looked at sales of the $15-to-$65 tickets, which hit $3,000 "right off the bat" in August and continued at a steady clip as links to the performance were posted on Tolkien fan Web sites

Future performances are scheduled in Antwerp, Belgium; London; Atlanta; Philadelphia; Seattle and Pittsburgh Even on its own, she said, "It's a lovely work to listen to
premiere of the score as a live symphonic work in six movements, each corresponding to a "book" in J c om
www Director Peter Jackson has often referred to the gamble producers and distributors took in financing a three-film shoot in the previously ill-regarded fantasy genre, with no tickets sold until two years of work had been done
"We're always on the prowl for new and interesting projects," said Dan Hart, symphony president and executive director "
Shore conducted the work as part of the "Return of the King" premiere in December in New Zealand, where the movies were filmed, and last month in Montreal, in his native Canada He's bringing one mezzo-soprano on tour for a solo, but hasn't imported the New Zealand tribe members "It seemed like a perfect opportunity to introduce the symphony to a whole different group of people Some songs are deliberately not in harmony, and some break into 12-part harmony instead of the traditional four, leaving about six singers to sing some parts columbussymph ony "
There are more than 50 leitmotifs, musical phrases associated with characters and ideas in the story, such as the pastoral tune evoking the hobbits' home in the Shire and the brassy industrial march in off-kilter beat for the evil wizard Saruman
"I hope we have some real good grunting basses," Shore said com

When Howard Shore accepted the task of composing 12 hours of music for the film versions of the beloved "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, he says he felt like Frodo carrying the ring to Mount Doom Last week, Shore was in England recording additional music for extended scenes for the "Return of the King" DVD "
Shore used a chorus of Maori men on the soundtrack to chant in dwarvish for scenes in cavernous mines His first Oscar was for the score of the first movie, "Fellowship of the Ring
The Columbus Symphony Orchestra accepted its own burden when it booked a live performance of the score nearly two years ago â€â€? before all the music was written
