Faithfully presented in this exciting suite, these selections from Howard Shore's brilliantly conceived original soundtrack capture the adventure, excitement, and tender moments of the first of the prequels to the epic The Lord of the Rings trilogy. Including "Old Friends," "The Adventure Begins," "Axe or Sword?," "Song of the Lonely Mountain," "The Dwarf Lords," and "Dreaming of Bag End," this lovely arrangement, in five movements, is intended for use at the high school level and is not difficult at all to master.
