The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King Soundtrack - 07. The Ride of the Rohirrim

We see here the return to the theme of the people of Rohan with their brisk and joyous tune. But this is not a time for joy, the Rohirrim are headed to war and to aid Gondor. The grand scene of the thousands of horsemen riding to Gondor is a sight to behold and Shore makes sure he marks out the visual scene well. The Rohirrim will be critical to the battle ahead and will lend a hand to Gondor who is in dire need.

What instrument is it that gives the Rohan songs that stringy quality- you can hear it at about :05, and it shows up again a lot in the Rohan tracks. Is it a Norwegian violin, or bagpipes, or what?

I read that when they got to Pelennor fields it was the greatest (numbers wise) calvary charge in cinema history!!
