You don’t need another human being to make your life complete, but let’s be honest. Having your wounds kissed by someone who doesn’t see them as disasters in your soul but cracks to put their love into is the most calming thing in this world.

Tolkien Characters as Orchestral Instruments
Strings: Elves (everyone else thinks they're divas but they are an integral part of an orchestra, whilst being able to stand alone).
Violin 1: Arwen (shines brightly over the orchestra)
Violin 2: Legolas (in the texture, hard-working and when accompanying, bouncing off the beats from the double bass...)
Viola: Elrond (in the heart of the sound, making everyone else sound amazing)
Cello: Aragorn (supportive role for the entire orchestra with occasional beautiful melodies that everyone wants to listen to)
Double Bass: Gimli(the percussion section of the strings, plodding along-also, imagine a dwarf playing the double bass xD)
Harp: Galadriel (not always there but when she is, you listen)
Woodwind: Hobbits and beings close to nature (not as in the limelight as strings/brass but they have very important solos that shape the mood of a piece)
Flute: Frodo (not the most obvious soloist but comes out of the texture with important melodies)
Piccolo: Merry & Pippin (supports the flute but sometimes is just a little too loud over the orchestra)
Oboe: Bilbo (Boboe :P) (tunes the orchestra-effectively starts the orchestra off; quirky with very occasional solos but usually in the background)
Cor anglais: Gollum (darker than the oboe, with haunting laments as solos but does not come out of the texture often)
Clarinet: Sam (literally sitting behind the flute, carrying the harmony as the melody from other instruments projects)
Bassoon: Radagast (can sound eerie or weirdly beautiful, usually supporting the woodwind and underpinning the bass line of the orchestra)
Bass clarinet: Fatty Bolger (not always aware that they are playing but a very necessary extension of the clarinet)
Brass: Men (loud and important)
Trumpet: Boromir (unapologetic and bold)
Trombone: Théoden (important but not as willing to be in the limelight)
Bass Trombone: Éomer (occasionally forgotten about but adds richness and depth to the section)
Tuba: Denathor II(underpins the section so has the power to mess up the section the orchestra, whilst not being immediately noticeable)
French horn: Éowyn and Faramir (sat on the other side of the orchestra from the brass, next to the woodwind and can support both sections; it doesn't solo often but when it does, no other instrument could do it justice)
Percussion: Dwarves (more in the background and doesn't usually team up with other sections but integral and will come to the forefront if necessary)
Timpani: Thorin (arguably most important percussion instrument for an orchestra)
Cymbals: Fíli & Kíli (loud, brash and sometimes exactly what you need)
Claves: Bifur (not easy to pick out of the sounds and just involves whacking)
Gong: Bombur (big, round and loud)
Tubular bells/chimes: Bofur (instrument with pitch but does own thing)
Xylophone/Marimba/Vibraphone: Balin (arguably most difficult/complicated instrument)
Bass drum: Dwalin (big and strong support)
Guiro: Nori (he is sneaky and you don't know he's there and nobody knows the name of this instrument, even though everyone likes it)
Castanets: Dori (he's fussy, prim and sharp)
Triangle: Ori (bright tone, trying to be a cymbal and highlights important moments)
Cowbell: Óin (shouts over the orchestra and his ear-trumpet looks a bit like one)
Tambourine: Glóin (a support to the section and sounds a bit like money, as he was the money keeper)
Misfits:
Recorder: Treebeard (was once very important but now does not fit into the orchestra unless very old music is being played)
Composer/bagpipes: Tom Bombadil (you could just imagine him coming on stage saying 'yeah this is my piece, I'm gonna improvise on the bagpipes')
Saxophone: Saruman (very charismatic, alone or with the support of brass but is out of place in the orchestra and can cause a disturbance in the texture)
