Greetings,

I saw a report at Theonering.net about Miller Park, the stadium that is home to baseball’s Milwaukee Brewers playing music from FOTR.

I wanted to go ahead and clarify the accuracy of the report for you…

My name is Colin Deval, I am the Audio Producer for the Milwaukee Brewers. The music we play is actually a 9:45 mix from multiple selections in the three LOTR scores by Howard Shore. I’ve put pieces of the following selections into a seemless mix:

Foundations of Stone (Two Towers)
Minas Tirith (Return…”beacons of Gondor” scene)
Bridge of Khazad-dum (Fellowship)
The Uruk-hai (Two Towers)
Treason of Isengard (Fellowship)
Amon Hen (Fellowship)

It was nice to see that report on your site!!
