It is a tale that has spiritual meaning for us. We love the story of The Lord of the Rings. We also spent a lot of time finding new ways to imitate instruments from various sections of the orchestra using Steve's cellos - from the brass section through the woodwind section to the percussion section. It was a drawn-out process during which we studied the music of The Lord of Rings, contemplated what themes to incorporate, how they could tell the story by flowing from one to the other. We normally write our tunes during intense compositional binges - the bulk of our songs have been written within the period of a few days. As we reach one million subscribers we wanted to dedicate this arrangement to our "subs." This was an intimidating project - encompassing the power and the beauty of the many musical themes throughout the movies capturing the emotion and the "epic" nature of the story and all with a few cellos, a piano, and a couple Canon 5D Mark IIs. Since the beginning of The Piano Guys, "Lord of the Rings" has been our most requested work. No green screens were used in the making of this music video. This video was all filmed at outdoor locations located within a 20-mile radius in Southern Utah. All of the sounds you hear were created by cello, piano, and vocal textures.
