I don't like being critical because this piece is so beautiful, but the conductor changed form for almost every measure. I would have a very tough time following her.

Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin listened to this movement moments after they landed on the moon, July 20th, 1969. They admired the lunar surface as no two other human beings ever had before them with this playing in the background. TRUE STORY.

@ewinenger I'm not sure if this is what you mean, but the theme played by the cor anglais is very much similar to the hobbit theme of the lord of the rings.

@discouniverse Where is the beauty? If you were born in Czech Republic, Slovakia, or any middle- European country, you would know where the beauty is. When i close my eyes, I can see clearly all the things I did as a child. Playing on beautiful meadows, running through high grass, listening to the river, playing with dandelions, getting wet in warm summer rain, eating raspberries and apples... Unless you lived through this, you will nut understand. Just please, respect others..

@ewinenger not sure if it's in a Disney film, and sorry to be pedantic, but its a Cor Anglais not an Oboe.
