You couldn't get much more of a reference performance than this. The original composer, and a band assembled of the commitment level of the US Marine Corp. Wonderful.

I performed this song around 20 years ago. Couldn't remember who composed it and the movies made this really hard to find. So glad I did though. I love this piece.

Does anyone else think the conductor looks almost exactly like James May?

Yeah, they're Marines, but the trombones are still manspreading all over the place.

@KZfaq - shame on you for putting an ad 20 seconds before the end of this symphony.

We played this in 2004 if I am not mistaken and I love this piece so much. So many memories with every note. This recording made me cry a little. Amazing.

This is hands down my favorite movement, it really captures the vibes the hobbits give off! It makes me so bouncy and happy and ready for an adventure

I first heard a recording of this piece (by the Dutch Royal Military Band) in the early 1990s (just happened to see it in a record store), and got my band to perform it in 1995. Glad that in the ensuing 25 years it has become a classic. Was at this performance, which is at the customary phenomenal standard of the Marine Band.
