Hey, Dragoneyes! Good to see you. I think the recorder wouild be just fine for that song; there's one part on the soundtrack where I think the tune is carried by a recorder or something that sounds prety similar to it. You can get to the second octave on the recorder, right? Check the fingering charts if you have any questions, some of 'em are a ittle wierd.

I have the BBC recording of LOTR, thirteen cd's, which I bought essentially for the music. However I was rather bummed. The BBC version of what the tunes would sound like just didn't do it for me in many cases. My imagination tends much more toward the celtic or scandinavian than they did. But the "Bilbo's Last Song" at the end, with the choir boy, has possibilities.
