    All of the sounds you hear were created by cello, piano, and vocal textures
    This video was all filmed at outdoor locations located within a 20-mile radius in Southern Utah. No green screens were used in the making of this music video. Read about the location miracle here: thepianoguys.com/pages/lord-o...
    Story behind the song:
    Since the beginning of The Piano Guys, "Lord of the Rings" has been our most requested work. As we reach one million subscribers we wanted to dedicate this arrangement to our "subs." This was an intimidating project -- encompassing the power and the beauty of the many musical themes throughout the movies; capturing the emotion and the "epic" nature of the story; and all with a few cellos, a piano, and a couple Canon 5D Mark IIs. We normally write our tunes during intense compositional binges -- the bulk of our songs have been written within the period of a few days. This one was different. It was a drawn-out process during which we studied the music of The Lord of Rings, contemplated what themes to incorporate, how they could tell the story by flowing from one to the other. We also spent a lot of time finding new ways to imitate instruments from various sections of the orchestra using Steve's cellos -- from the brass section through the woodwind section to the percussion section.
    We love the story of The Lord of the Rings. It is a tale that has spiritual meaning for us. We love its messages -- that "even the smallest person can change the course of the future," that "there's good in this world and it's worth fighting for," "All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us" ... and that everyone should have a "second breakfast." =) We love the poignant depiction of loyalty between the Fellowship of the Ring (we even included the "Fellowship" theme three times - at 0:18, 3:58 and at the end of the arrangement - to feel like a common thread in the music as it is in the story.) We wanted to paint these messages musically as vividly as possible. Like so many things in the creative realm, and to paraphrase Mr. Bilbo Baggins, the hardest part was the first step. After a brief introduction of the Hobbit Theme and Fellowship Theme (arguably the most relevant musical moments) we felt strongly that we needed to begin with the deeply touching melody that serves as the soundtrack to Arwen's vision of her future son (in the extended version of Return of the King). That gave way to a Divinely-led journey from the Shire and Rivendell through Isengard and Rohan to Gondor's victory over Mordor. We endeavored to represent each of the major allies and opposing forces in the story:
    The Elves 0:44
    The Ents 1:48
    Rohan 2:08
    Mordor and Isengard 2:32
    Hobbits 3:08
    Gondor 4:11

Sam is plenty of people's favorite character, including mine. But Frodo sacrificed the most. In order to save the Shire and Middle-Earth, he had to give them up. That's why their friendship is so beautiful: neither can do their part without the other.

    I rewatched the whole trilogy a couple days ago and I cannot believe I thought Two Towers and Return of the King were better than Fellowship of the Ring. I guess in terms of action they're better and more exciting, but Fellowship has a lot more to offer. It has much better pacing and is more emotional than the 2nd and 3rd movies imo. 1st time I watched Fellowship, I thought it was just a great movie. But watching it again, paying attention to every detail, and listening to every line the character spoke, it hit me pretty good. Like when Boromir in Rivendell told Aragorn "Gondor has no king, Gondor needs no king" to when he's about to die and admits to Aragorn "I would have followed you, my brother. My captain. My king." Fellowship is so underrated.

    These guys really do take you on a journey with this piece. In the description, they mention how most of their compositions come from musical binges and are completed within days. but this one came from intensive study and was way more thought out, to try and encompass what that movie means to its fans. At some points it feels like you’re embarking on an adventure, walking peacefully through a meadow, in the midst of trying to escape death, coming home... The video accompaniment is gorgeous, and to me it accentuates the music, amplifying how epic it is. As a Hobbit/LOTR fan, I really enjoyed this piece. It took me back to the books and movies, and I think it did real justice to the creative source from which they came.

Steven Sharp Nelson does the same thing, even more vividly: one can see his love for the music he makes, his joy in playing, his delight in harmony -- marvelous!

      думаю никто не может утверждать что он самый яростный поклонник the lord of the rings. это такой фильм который можно либо обжать в наибольшей степени либо быть равнодушным. к последнему немогу найти ни одной причины (может быть отсутствие сердца) но я говорю это не в упрёк к тебе. ни в коем случае. А хочу показать этим величие этого фильма покорившего множество стран.
      dumayu nikto ne mozhet utverzhdat' chto on samyy yarostnyy poklonnik the lord of the rings. eto takoy fil'm kotoryy mozhno libo obzhat' v naibol'shey stepeni libo byt' ravnodushnym. k poslednemu nemogu nayti ni odnoy prichiny (mozhet byt' otsutstviye serdtsa) no ya govoryu eto ne v uprok k tebe. ni v koyem sluchaye. A khochu pokazat' etim velichiye etogo fil'ma pokorivshego mnozhestvo stran.
      I think no one can say that he is the most ardent fan of the lord of the rings. this is the kind of film that you can either compress to the greatest extent or be indifferent. I cannot find a single reason for the latter (maybe the absence of a heart), but I am not saying this as a reproach to you. in no case. And I want to show by this the greatness of this film that has conquered many countries.

      I'm Irish too, I wouldn't agree with your sweeping statement that you would know due to that.

And I'm studying my pHd in this, that is why I claim "I would know"!

    This music is pure gold.

      All that is gold does not glitter,
      Not all those who wander are lost;
      The old that is strong does not wither,
      Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
      From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
      A light from the shadows shall spring;
      Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
      The crownless again shall be king

      Dude sir, I agree but you didn't have to write a whole essay about it.

      The poem is Tolkien and is actually written in the book this music was written for... Sigh

    I love how with each theme there is a change in brightness and location for e.g. The Shire ( I think that's what is called) takes place in a green surrounding with small trees and the sun shining down, exactly how the Shire should be, a beautiful place with simplistic people.
