tHE lorD oF tHE riNGs: tHE rEtUrN oF tHE KiNG

The climactic chapter in Howard Shore’s music for The Lord of the Rings, The Return of the King gathers all that has come before and sets it charging relentlessly towards conclusion. Each character theme, each cultural style, every motif associated with the precepts of Tolkien’s work must reach the destination set before it in the previous two scores.

The Fellowship theme, after forming then breaking, must draw itself to a newfound level of heroic focus as the Company reaches Mount Doom. The Elves’ themes must bestow their final melodic gifts upon Middle-earth before receding into the West. Isengard’s metallic fury must meet its wrenching demise, but not before scraps of its rhythmic and melodic gestures migrate to Sauron’s domain and join with Mordor’s twisted themes, which are consolidating into their own terrible apotheosis.

Combating Mordor’s rise, the two kingdoms of Men summon their might—Rohan by aligning itself with Nature’s Reclamation, Gondor by calling upon the two grand themes established in The Fellowship of the Ring, the Realm of Gondor and Minas Tirith. These two lines, heretofore heard in isolated statements, are brought to the fore in The Return of the King, assuming lead roles in the breaking war.

And yet it is the Ring itself, that slim band of gold that has become the focal point for all Middle-earth, that undergoes the most profound and disturbing musical fusion. The Ring’s long journey to Mordor is nearing completion. Heeding its master’s call, the Ring has united its characteristics: Shore’s three principle Ring themes—history, seduction and evil—now impact each other directly, intertwining contrapuntally or pulling at melodic contours to form new lines, exposing the Ring at the dangerous height of its wicked promise.

In the end, Middle-earth survives the War of the Ring to enter its Fourth Age. ushering in a new dawn of peace and unity, Shore grants the surviving cultures Fourth Age themes that maintain the aesthetics of each society, but which cultivate newly enlightened ideals. Men are granted respite; the Elves, peace; hobbits, wisdom—and the Ring is granted its just fate: destruction.

Howard ShoreComposer

Howard Shore is one of today’s premier composers whose music is performed in concert halls around the world by the most prestigious orchestras and is heard in cinemas across the globe.

Shore’s musical interpretation of J.R.R. Tolkien’s imaginative world of The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, as portrayed in the films directed by Peter Jackson, have enthralled people of all generations for years. This work stands as his most acclaimed composition to date awarding him with three Academy Awards®, four Grammy Awards®, two Golden Globes® as well as numerous critic’s and festival awards.

He is an Officier de l’ordre des Arts et des Lettres de la France and has also been recognized by Canada with the Governor General’s Award for Performing Arts. The National Board of Review of Motion Pictures honored Howard Shore with an award for Career Achievement for Music Composition and the City of Vienna bestowed him with the Max Steiner Award. Shore has received numerous other awards for his career achievements.

Perhaps most notable from his early career, Shore was one of the creators of Saturday Night Live and served as musical director from 1975-1980. At the same time he began collaborating with David Cronenberg and has since scored 15 of the director’s films, including The Fly, Crash, and Naked Lunch.

He was awarded Canadian Screen Awards for Maps to the Stars for score and Cosmopolis for both score and song. His original scores to A Dangerous Method, Eastern Promises and Dead Ringers were each honoured with a Genie Award. Shore continues to distinguish himself with a wide range of projects, from Martin Scorsese’s Hugo, The Departed, The Aviator (for which he won his third Golden Globe Award) and Gangs of New York to Ed Wood, Se7en, The Silence of the Lambs, Philadelphia, and Mrs. Doubtfire.

Other recent works include the piano concerto Ruin and Memory for Lang Lang, and a song cycle, A Palace Upon the Ruins, featuring mezzo-soprano Jennifer Johnson Cano. Mythic Gardens a cello concerto, and Fanfare for the Wanamaker Organ in Philadelphia.

His opera, The Fly, which premiered at the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris and at Los Angeles Opera, recently completed a successful run in Germany at the Theatre Trier.

Fran WalshLyricist

In 2004, Fran Walsh was awarded Academy Awards for Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Original Song, and Best Picture for The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. For her work co-writing The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, Walsh was nominated for an Oscar, a British Academy of Film and Television Arts award and Writers Guild of America Screen Award, and (along with Peter Jackson, Barrie Osborne and Tim Sanders) won the AFI Film Award. Walsh first garnered an Academy Award nomination for Best Screenplay for the feature Heavenly Creatures, which she co-wrote with her collaborator Peter Jackson. Walsh, who has a background in music, began her writing career soon after leaving Victoria university where she majored in English Literature.

Philippa BoyensWriter

Since being named by Variety in their list of Ten Writers to Watch in 2000, Philippa Boyens, who made her debut as a screenwriter with The Lord of the Rings trilogy, has won an Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay for The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King and was previously nominated for an Oscar, a British Academy of Film and Television Arts Award and a Writers Guild of America Award, among others. Boyens worked in theatre as a playwright, teacher, producer and editor. Boyens moved to film via a stint as Director of the New Zealand Writers Guild. Her love of J.R.R. Tolkien’s work brought her to this project, having been a fan since she was eleven years old.

Peter JacksonDirector

Jackson has made cinema history in making The Lord of the Rings film trilogy, comprising nine hours of a continuous cinema that can be enjoyed by audiences worldwide. The films have become a phenomenon cross culturally around the world, not only embracing the respect of established Tolkien fans and scholars, but introducing young audience to Tolkien’s classic novels. He was awarded three Academy Awards for Best Director, Best Picture and Best Adapted Screenplay for The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King.

Ludwig WickiConductor

A native of Lucerne, Switzerland, Ludwig Wicki was raised in a musical environment influenced by church and folk music. As a child and young adult, he studied trombone and became a member of the Lucerne Symphony Orchestra, eventually expanding his studies to include orchestral and choral conducting.

Maestro Wicki’s long-time passion for film music reached an important milestone in 1999 with the creation of the 21st Century Symphony Orchestra. This professional ensemble, which he leads as its sole Artistic Director, currently offers a series of more than ten projects every season as well as guest appearances in London, Paris and New York. Maestro Wicki and the 21st Century Symphony Orchestra have developed partnerships with renowned film composers, including Howard Shore, Michael Giacchino, Patrick Doyle, Randy Newman, Martin Böttcher, and George Fenton. The 21st Century Orchestra also accompanies silent classics of Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton, as well as cult films, such as Nosferatu.

In 2008 Ludwig Wicki led the 21st Century Symphony Orchestra and Chorus in the world premiere of The Fellowship of the Ring at the KKL in Lucerne. In April 2015 and for the first time ever in the united States, Maestro Wicki conducted the entire The Lord of the Rings Trilogy in seven concerts at the David H. Koch Theater at Lincoln Center, in New York.

Ludwig Wicki teaches chamber music and conducting at the conservatories in Lucerne and Bern. In 2007 he was honored by the city of Lucerne for his accomplishments as a musician and educator. In 2013 he was given the Award for Excellence in Cultural Creativity from the Global Thinkers Forum.

Grace DavidsonVocalist

“Grace Davidson has one of the most beautiful and pure soprano voices on earth.” Eric Whitacre, composer

“Grace Davidson sings with gorgeous purity and warmth and hits some extraordinarily ethereal high notes.” Classic FM

Grace Davidson is an English soprano who specialises in the performance and recording of Baroque music. Winner of the prestigious Early Music Prize whilst studying singing at London’s Royal Academy of Music, she has since carved a successful international career working with the leading Baroque vocal ensembles of our day under the batons of Sir John Eliot Gardiner, Paul McCreesh, Philippe Herreweghe and Harry Christophers.

Her discography includes a decade of CDs with The Sixteen, many of which feature her as soloist: Handel’s Jephtha (as “Angel”) and Dixit Dominus, Monteverdi’s 1610 Vespers and Pianto Della Madonna and the Lutheran Masses of Bach.

Grace’s solo credits extend into the realm of contemporary classical/crossover music where widespread critical acclaim for her exceptional purity of tone has resulted in a number of successful recordings with high-profile composers. Most notable of these is the Grammy award-winning Light and Gold disc by Eric Whitacre, several albums for Christian Forshaw and The Sanctuary Ensemble and Patrick Hawes’ celebrated album Angel. Hollywood film credits include The Hobbit, The Desolation of Smaug, the Five Armies and Pirates of the Caribbean 4 in which Grace sings the voice of the evil mermaid.
