Band

See item 04000024 for a description.

Experience the depth and power of Johan de Meij' award-winning symphony for band (grade 6) in this easier edition. Working directly with the composer, Paul Lavender has masterfully arranged and condensed three of the original five movements into a practical concert version, written at a level and instrumentation that brings this dramatic work within the reach of most bands. Already becoming a staple for contests and festivals, this version includes optional cuts allowing several performance lengths and options. (Grade 3.5) Also available - Orchestral Version Recording: Symphony No. 1 - The Lord Of The Rings by Johan de Meij - Recorded by the London Symphony Orchestra - 04000150/$20.00

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 second movement is an impression of Lothlorien, the elvenwood with its beautiful trees, plants, exotic birds, expressed through woodwind solos.
