I don’t know if you can use this information, but I checked the soundtrack wesite and saw that, in addition to Hoawrd Shore and Enya, Elizabeth Frasier was credited on the page. She is the vocalist for a group call Cocteau Twins, and has a very distinctive vocal style, so if any site readers are familiar with her work, they know that the sound she goes for is very ethereal.

The december playboy has an advertisement for lord of the rings merchandise. It is listed under the Noble Collection, Holiday 2001, and includes: Sting, The Sword of Frodo; Quest for the Ring; and The One Ring Mirage Holographic Image Chamber.

(these are, in fact the same Noble scans that we have posted earlier this week -Xo)

They gave elvish swords an art nouveau feel; dwarves’ equipment was more Celtic. Dan Hennah loves to brandish the sword of Gandalf the Grey. Hennah confidently slashes the aluminum sword through the air as he stands surrounded by fantasy props he helped design, such as a demon’s mask, elf suits, and an orc’s torture chamber. [More]

They had about a five minute blurb on CityTV’s Breakfast Television this morning @ about 7:20 AM. They had Dan Hennah who was introduced as the Supervising Arts Director? for the upcoming movie.

He and his wife? were there with some of the props. They had Glamdring, Sting, Gimli’s axe and Legolas’s bow as well as Gandalf’s hat and well as a rubber mask of one of the “background” orcs.

It was pretty cool except for the fact that the Host – Ann Rohmer acted as if she knew all about the
“Trilogy” as she kept referring to it but actually knew nothing at all. It was hard for Dan to get a word in edgewise.
