The end of all things is not just a symphony, it represents a destiny forged by the hope of Gandalf and the fellowship of the ring to triumph over the darkness of mordor, it represents the essence of gollum as the internal struggle between chaos and order, it goes further beyond creative horizons.

I will never forget being present at these shows, seeing and listening to this orchestra performing the ultimate fantasy score live. This piece in particular. It will never get old.

[@matthewwhite6535]

So much went into these films that made it special. The incredible job of correct casting, John Howe and Alan Lee in the Art Department, Weta workshop, Fran, Phillipa, and Peter tirelessly re doing the script over and over. The masterpiece was made whole with Howard Shores score. There’s never been a score like it. When you listen to “the end of all things” “the return of the king” and “the grey havens” it’s made for the soul. I got to see all three films again in the theater this year but with my 12 year old daughter. It was her first time seeing any of them and she knew nothing. My daughter was blown away and we were both in tears in the last part of ROTK.

Remember this name: Aivale Cole (née Mabel Faletolu), is the solo singer on the original soundtrack recordings of the trilogy. For a spell, she lived in our community of Levin, NZ, with her husband and two children,and was the worship leader at our small church. She is hugely talented, and the easiest person in the world to get along with. We miss her. She now lives in the UK. She still sings, but it is sad that someone of her undoubted talent, is not a household name. She should be.
