Tolkien Linguist in St. Louis



Riverfront Timesspeaks with Paul Hahn, who helped prepare the St. Louis Symphony Chorus' pronunciation for this weekend's performance on the LOTR Symphony.

Choice quote:

[after whistling the piece] I read somewhere the composer has it rising-falling, as if it were breath because he wanted to convey that the ring was a living thing.”

Gee, wonder where he got that! :)
