The Rohan theme is gorgeous - I like the music a lot! I listened to both CD's in a row yesterday! <P>In the Rohan theme: <P>It's actually a Hardangerfela = Hardanger violin/fiddle - it's a Norwegian folk music instrument. Violin like, but a bit bigger as I recall (more like a viola?) & with extra strings attached underneath to provide extra sound & volume. There are probably other differences as well, but I'll leave that to experts.
