Tolkien created one of the most extraordinary and inspiring stories of all time, and as a lifelong fan, it is an honor and a joy to join this amazing team. Tolkien's 'The Fellowship of the Ring' and look to focus on the 'Second Age' – a time when the Rings of Power were first revealed. The new stories will take place prior to J.R.R. From the darkest depths of the Misty Mountains, to the majestic forests of the elf-capital of Lindon, to the breathtaking island kingdom of Númenor, to the furthest reaches of the map, these kingdoms and characters will carve out legacies that live on long after they are gone.

Tolkien's The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, and will take viewers back to an era in which great powers were forged, kingdoms rose to glory and fell to ruin, unlikely heroes were tested, hope hung by the finest of threads, and the greatest villain that ever flowed from Tolkien's pen threatened to cover all the world in darkness.īeginning in a time of relative peace, the series follows an ensemble cast of characters, both familiar and new, as they confront the long-feared re-emergence of evil to Middle-earth. This epic drama is set thousands of years before the events of J.R.R. So for us, it was about going deeper into what we are, rather than worrying about what other folks are doing,' he added.Īmazon Studios' forthcoming series brings to screens for the very first time the heroic legends of the fabled Second Age of Middle-earth's history. There's the whimsy, friendship, and humour that Harry Potter is so beloved for – but there's sophistication, politics, history, mythology, and depth, too. But Tolkien was playing every note on the piano. 'Some of these other competing properties – they play one octave really beautifully. What would Tolkien do?' McKay offered, before revealing the 'secret weapon' that elevates them above the others. McKay Shares Key Difference Between LOTR and other Fantasy Properties (like 'Game of Thrones'): 'You can psych yourself out in keeping up with the Joneses, but one of the mantras on this was 'go back to the source material'. 'The Rings Of Power' doesn't try to compete with him,' McKay explained ( LOTR: TROP is set during the Second Age, and not the Third Age like Jackon's works). Just for the sake of curiosity, pianos usually have about 7 octaves.So How Do You Live Up to Jackson's Films? You Don't…: 'Anyone approaching 'Lord Of The Rings' on screen would be wrong not to think about how wonderfully right Jackson got so much of it. Check below to see how we return to the original note in 6 tones: Since Western music has 12 notes (12 semitones), we can conclude that an octave comprises the distance of six whole tones. The same logic can be applied to an octave below, where the sound gets lower. If we started from D, we would close an octave when we reached D again. We use the example of C here, but this is valid for any note, as long as it starts and ends on the same note. Note that B is the 7th degree of C (as we saw in the article “ What are degrees?“), making C the eighth degree. Whenever a cycle ends and the note returns to C, an octave is completed. If you are pressing the white keys, starting from C, from left to right, the sequence will follow: C, D, E, F, G, A, B, C… continuing in this cycle until the piano keys are finished.Īs the notes get higher, it is easy to see that the next C will be higher than the previous one. On it, the keys on the left are lower than the keys on the right. To say that a note is one octave higher means to say that the note is the same, but it is in a higher section of the instrument.
