Lord Of The Rings Question 6
"The Return of the King" Extended Edition - During the Battle of the Pelennor Fields, we see Eowyn dueling with the Witch King of Angmar after King Theoden has been mortally wounded. In the Extended Edition of "The Return of the King", which other minion of Sauron does Eowyn fight?
The correct answer is 'Gothmog'
Gothmog almost ends up killing Eowyn, but is fortunately disposed of by Aragorn as he, Legolas, and Gimli sweep the Pelennor Fields with the Army of the Dead. Shagrat, Gorbag, and the Mouth of Sauron are nowhere near the battle. It is also interesting to note that Lawrence Makaore, who played "Lurtz" in "The Fellowship of the Ring," plays both the Witch King of Angmar and Gothmog!
Lord Of The Rings Question 7
The REAL Lord of the Rings! (for musicos) - The oboe plays the famous rising three semitone figure the first time it is heard at the very beginning of "Tristan". Which instrument plays it when that phrase is immediately repeated a minor third higher?
The correct answer is 'clarinet'
Why did Wagner not simply repeat the orchestration for the second phrase? Any suggestions? I dunno, but obviously it works! The clarinet is a smoother-sounding instrument than the sharper oboe. Perhaps it highlights the relaxing effect of the change from the dominant of a minor key (A minor) to that of its relative major; the relatively more "relaxed" feel is perhaps also heralded by the cellos' leap of a major, rather than minor, sixth.
