DE MEIJ Symphony No. 1, Lord of the Rings: Mvt. 4 - "The President's Own" U.S. Marine Band

I for one enjoy the idea that band pieces can sound like they're written for a symphony orchestra.

My college band (Winona State University) played this for our spring concert this year! I will say that no recording will ever live up to what it feels like to sit in the middle of the band with this playing around you, but I will never get tired of listening to the recording!

LOVE that english horn solo at the end...great writing, and beautifully played!

The Gandalf theme at 5:45 et seq is a passage I find literally breath-taking.

The music is so good it literally killed the guy in the front row.
