That was my concern with Ainur - that it was a straight answer.
If the symphony is a musical one, it could be the Rohirrim (the blowing of their horns) or the dwarves making music after tea at Bilbo's (can't think of any others).
I'm inclined to think it's a *metaphorical* symphony and *metaphorical* tunes, though.
Two ideas (probably both wrong):
1. Various people set out alone for Rivendell, and met and gave their accounts ('sang their tunes') at the 'great symphony' that was the Council of Elrond.
2. Many people individually shouted praise for the Ringbearers on the Field of Cormallen, and it mingled into a great symphony.
