don't blame him for not doing it alike the movie gollum because he wrote the piece before the movie went out.. like...long time ago...

[ArneBelg1994]

I think the music really captures the schizophrenic character of Gollum/Sméagol.

I'm jealous of anyone who got to play this piece...I only played the Hobbit theme but I've always wanted to play the whole thing.

I played this as soprano sax lead wiith the West Virginia University Wind Symphony. With so much character written into the part it was great fun to play!

I played the whole symphony in 98 with my college wind Ensemble. We were conducted by David Warble (California Wind Orchestra) and had George Takei doing a narration part they had developed. It was a great experience, because we were outside for a summer concert and nature decided to lend us a hand with a quick moving thunder storm. It obliged with rain at the right parts and a single clap of thunder right where it should have been. It will be something I never forget. A lot of fun to play

I might be playing timpani for this. Is there a part where the timpanist plays with an upside down cymbal on the drum and does glissandos. Ive seen videos with it sometimes happening and sometimes not.

I played the concert band version of the entire Symphony at Idlewild in 10th grade and let me tell you, the French Horn part is wacky, but you never hear it, haha.

Back in 94, my college wind ensemble played the whole symphony at the END of a program. This symphony by itself is 45 minutes long. I played second chair trumpet at the time and by the end it was rather difficult to get those last few high notes in Hobbits.

@WAKIQuartet I really think it is a soprano

[agitatostyle]

some of the pictures scared me ^^

[WAKIQuartet]

I might be wrong but isn't the solo at the beginning a soprano sax? I know it is in the concert band arrangement. So why's everyone saying it's an english horn??
