    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

It holds my heart and there is no form of entertainment that has been more impact and meaningful to me in my life, ever. Thank you for doing this guys. And even more so, thank you Tolkien for writing such perfection that inspired not only film makers but musicians alike to craft such beauty all because of the amazing world and stories you created.

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.

    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.

      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.

      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. I think the song largely sampled (Concerning Hobbits) is distinctly linked with the Irish culture, with trad notes and progressions...though not in the genre of Drunken Sailor of course. And I'm studying my pHd in this, that is why I claim "I would know"!

    This video is the reason I'm subscribed to the PianoGuys. Not only do they show such respect and love for one of my most beloved films of all time, but they are able to weave a story with their music. They are able to incorporate an orchestral sound using only a piano and cello. Plus, the cinematography and location is, as usual, stunningly beautiful.
