Tolkien&#8217;s Middle-earth, featuring more than 200 musicians and singers, with large original illustrations projected above the Jones Hall stage. The images will be projected on a gigantic screen hung above the orchestra and will chronologically align with the music as the story of the Hobbits&#8217; journey from the peaceful Shire to the dreaded land of Mordor unfolds.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This Lord of the Rings Symphony is a two-hour piece based on the 12 hours of music I wrote for the three films,&#8221; says Howard Shore. &#8220;Each film was a four-hour composition. And this new symphony takes a concert audience through the story of the Lord of the Rings in a narrative way, using the choirs, using the singing.&#8221;  The choruses will sing in &#8220;Elvish,&#8221; and musicians will play such instruments as Norwegian fiddles, Japanese drums, African flutes and Tibetan gongs.<\/p>\n<p>The Houston Museum of Natural Science and the Houston Symphony are offering a family package that includes four rear orchestra level tickets to the symphony concert and four passes to the The Lord of the Rings Motion Picture Trilogy: The Exhibition ? all for $189.
