This piece is filled with the excitement of rhythmic animation that is unique to the percussion orchestra and the color of the harmonic pallet achieved with keyboard percussion.

Inspired by J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings: I. I Dreamt of the Dragon, II. The Drums of Moria, III. Recitative: Dark Towers, IV. Unto Long Glory. More so than any other composition by Daniel McCarthy, this piece is filled with the excitement of rhythmic animation that is unique to the percussion orchestra and the color of the harmonic pallet achieved with keyboard percussion. You can hear a recording of "Song of Middle Earth" on Daniel McCarthy's CD, 'Song of Middle Earth' (also available from C. Alan).
