very stravinsky! i love the percussion and horns and those fantastic chords, though there is a passage in shore's score that conveys the sense of wonderment in moria that I miss.

I'm playing this, together with "the hobbits" and "gandalf" with the orchestra that i'm in. I must say that it are the hardest 'songs' that i have ever played.
I like johan de meij, he makes very good music. Like "Banja Luka". That was fun to play :)
(btw, sorry for my mistakes in English)

@medusa2645 Thats all up to interpretation. This piece was written based off the books which have a much different feeling than the film.

Such fantastic major chords in the brass!

I wonder if Howard Shore drew any inspiration from this....
Agreed. And I love the french horn parts.

this is my favorite movement of the symphony, the marcia funebre is gorgeous and the theme of gandalf just before captures perfectly the mood and the situation
