Lord of the Rings, The (Symphony No. 1) – Hobbits – Mvt. V

This monumental work, inspired by J.R.R. Tolkien’s literary masterpiece, is a challenging and uniquely rewarding composition for the advanced concert band. The fifth movement expresses the carefree and optimistic character of the Hobbits in a happy folk dance; the hymn that follows emanates the determination and noblesse of the hobbit folk.
