Johan de Meij
Johan de Meij is a Dutch composer, conductor, and trombonist best known for his powerful and imaginative works for wind orchestra.

The piece garnered global attention and won several prestigious awards, firmly establishing de Meij as a leading voice in contemporary wind ensemble music.
Beyond his Tolkien-inspired symphony, Johan de Meij has continued to compose large-scale and programmatic works for band and orchestra, including symphonies like "Planet Earth" (Symphony No. 3), "Sinfonie der Lieder" (Symphony No. 4), and "Return to Middle Earth" (Symphony No. 5). His music is celebrated for its rich orchestration, cinematic flair, and imaginative storytelling. In addition to composing, de Meij frequently travels as a guest conductor with ensembles around the world.
