This is a great piece. It's unbelievable how even a few bars of the Fellowship theme makes me feel that everything's going to be alright. The repeated use of the theme in scenes involving narrow escapes and friendship has made me link it automatically with hope.

The military version of Lothlorien theme is very nice. Just with changing the rythm a bit and adding some drums on the background it's feeling changes completely. The only negative thing is that I think it somehow lessens the Elves' nobility and gracefulness because their theme resembles now quite much Men's war themes or the idea what such themes could be like. On the other hand it brings the Elves more close to Men and makes those two races more equal comrades in war.
