The most popular work of de Meij is his Symphony No. 1 \u201cThe Lord of the Rings\u201d based on the mythological fantasy realm of J.R.R. Tolkien. Three decades removed from his first symphony de Meij returns to this world with Symphony No. 5 \u201cReturn to Middle Earth\u201d. Rather than go deep into the subject matter, Middle Earth is an incredibly descriptive portrait of the characters, beings and environment of this world. Unlike Lord of the Rings a solo soprano &amp; choir add a distinct flavor to this symphony as well as providing special vocal and percussive effects. The listener will immediately engulf themself into Middle Earth in all its magnitude. An incredible musical and thought provoking symphony expertly crafted by de Meij.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><a href=\"http:\/\/bandworld.org\/musiclips\/MiriNaFleanor.mp3\">Listen<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by\u00a0Johan de Meij Album Title: JOHAN DE MEIJ SYMPHONY NO. 5 RETURN TO MIDDLE EARTHRecording: St. Michael Thorn Wind OrchestraConductor: Ivan MeylemansSoloist: Claudia Couwenbergh &#8211;\u00a0 sopranoChoir:\u00a0Brabant ChoirConductor: Louis BuskensPublisher: AMSTEL CLASSICS \u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 Johan de Meij is a longtime friend of the American Band College and has written many significant compositions for wind orchestra.
