Description

In their first festival performance, the newly formed Fernleigh Wind Ensemble will bring Johan de Meij's new symphony to Newcastle. After 30 years, composer Johan de Meij revisits Middle-Earth, the enchanting mythological world of J.R.R. Tolkien, with his Symphony No. 5 Return to Middle Earth. Although there are some thematic reminiscences of his monumental first symphony, The Lord of the Rings from 1988, De Meij puts a completely different musical vibe into this new symphony. There is an important role for a solo soprano and a mixed choir: they sing in Ilkorin, one of the Elvish languages of Middle-Earth. The ensemble welcomes Sara Carvalho as soloist in this great new work. Program: Johann de Meij Symphony No 5 'Return to Middle Earth' for Wind Orchestra, Soprano Soloist and Choir Images: Fernleigh Ensemble - Lauren Moulton/Dru Maher-Brooks | J.R.R. Tolkein, courtesy of the Tolkein Gateway
