Ancalagon the Black - Johan de Meij

After 30 years, Johan de Meij revisits Middle-Earth, the enchanting mythological world of J.R.R. Tolkien, with his spectacular Symphony No. 5 Return to Middle Earth. Although there are thematic reminiscences of his monumental first Symphony The Lord of the Rings from 1988, De Meij is putting a completely different musical vibe into his new symphony. This instrumental movement vividly describes the black dragon Ancalagon, the largest creature in Tolkiens mythological world.
