Heidi Steimel (ed.), Music in MIddle-earth (13/1)

Walking Tree, 2010. 1st edition. Paperback.

From the Grand Theme that the Ainur played before Ilúvatar at the beginning of the world, to the various songs encountered or sung by the characters of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, the world that J.R.R. Tolkien created contains numerous references to song and music. Indeed, musical elements form an integral part of his narratives. It is therefore surprising that, until now, discussion of this aspect of Tolkien's sub-creation has been sparse in secondary literature. The 14 papers presented in this volume set out to address this important gap.

Besides musical references found in Tolkien's own works, the scope of Middle-earth music has over the years been further extended by various attempts to either set Tolkien's song texts to music, or to create derivative musical works. Such creations range from the songs and music of the various films and radio adaptions to such phenomena as Tolkien-inspired Black Metal. Besides the musical refences found in Tolkien's own writings, this volume also looks at these works.*

David Wenzel, Gimli concept print

After The Hobbit graphic novel was completed plans were made to publish The Lord of the Rings in graphic novel format as well. A lot of pre production work was developed for the project. Even though the publisher was very gung-ho on the project the ultimate decision rested with the Tolkien estate, which ultimately decide they did not want any derivative versions of J.R.R.'s writing on the market. The artist has been holding onto sample pages, sketches and some prints since that event and he feels the time is right to start letting some of them onto the market place. The first items are prints of the Nine (Aragorn, Gandalf, Legolas, Gimli, Frodo, Sam, Merry and Pippen) that were developed to establish the first look of the main characters. (Other views of the characters and many of the dark forces were also conceived.) This print shows Gimli the dwarf dressed in mail and brandishing his axe. The print's outside dimension is 13'x 19"/27x47 cm. It is a giclee print on archival paper printed with archival inks. It is signed in the lower right corner by the artist David T Wenzel.*
