I sang in an a cappella divisi (8-part) choral arrangement of “Into the West” several years ago. It was one of those rare moments when I, a semi-professional chorister, nearly choked up while singing.
(Of course, after reading the LotR more than 24 times - lost count at that point - and having performed in the Howard Shore live productions in a major venue, I am hardly impartial.)
THAT IS AMAZING!!
I love choral music. Sang in high school and college and still get chills from a good choir. Our nun was trained in Rome and she could do amazing things with our group.
What an amazing time you must have. Few things beat joining with others to create beauty.
