There is also a Lord of the Rings Symphony by the Dutch composer Johan de Meij. I know that Howard Shore is currently touring the world with his Lord of the Rings Symphony, but this one predates the movies by about 10 years and is quite nice. I know that it's not really the style of music this thread is discussing, but it is modern in that it was recently composed. It's in five movements, each titled after a character or a place in the story.
