Events Description
The FILMharmonique Orchestra returns to the Arena at TD Place to perform the second installment of The Lord of the Rings trilogy, The Two Towers. With over 250 musicians of the FILMharmonique Orchestra and Choir and the Petits Chanteurs du Mont-Royal, audiences will journey back to Middle-earth and experience ACADEMY AWARD®-winning Composer Howard Shore’s epic score performed live to the motion picture in HD!
In The Two Towers, Shore develops the themes introduced in The Fellowship of the Ring and brings in new figures along with the new cultures and characters. Merry and Pippin, for example, carry the tunes of their beloved Shire into Fangorn Forest and mix the joyous themes with the austere music of the tree-herding Ents. The Ents relate to the cleansing waves of the Nature’s Reclamation theme, the purity of which is embodied in the voice of a boy soprano – the same vocal sound with which the Seduction of the Ring lures its victims. The One Ring’s principle motif, The History of the Ring, mixes with the Pity of Gollum, as the wretched, obsessive creature leads Sam and Frodo – and his Precious – ever closer to Mordor. Darkening the mood even more, Sauron’s shadow looms on the horizon, flaring and rearing up behind the hammering pestle of Isengard’s music, which echoes far and wide across the plains below, assailing the new Rohan Fanfare.
The noble Rohan music, in turn, finds an impressive ally: the Fellowship theme, now made up of a reduced coalition of Man, Elf, Dwarf and Wizard. And so, the connections continue, worlds of music circling and intertwining to create a vast ring of related themes. And across the grey slopes of Middle-earth, dusk deepens. The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers has toured the world to rave reviews, described as “A magical experience!”, “Perfectly orchestrated!”
