tifo: you might check your local library. THe BBC production has been arund for a while and is now (because of the movies) quite popular. I've seen lots of them on ebay.
How much music... oh, not THAT much. Somebody on this board somewhere (brain like sieve [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] ) said that once upon a time there was a tape available of just the music. That was what i really wanted, but it wouldn't have been worth it; actually the a"acting" is better than the music, IMO.
dragoneyes: Are you able to get the second octave out of your recorder? It's easier on a tinwhistle. I completely agree with tifo-- no musician should be without a tinwhistle; they're indestructable (friend of mine dropped one down a cliff-- undamaged.) You can take 'em just about anywhere. It would have been "the Middle-Earth instrument of choice" for rangers and elves, and probably hobbits too, at least travelling hobbits. (Too small and delicate for dwawrves?) Get a "D" for your first one. (I've got a D, C, and G. At seven bucks apeice...)
