I asked my teacher (Paul Archibald) about this and he emailed me this reply:

Hi Jack

Yep, I did some of the Lord of The Rings soundtrack. Part 3 alone involved two symphony orchestras, over 150 hours of recording time and is without doubt the biggest recording project to have been undertaken for any film. Most of the film was recorded at EMI studios or at The Coliseum, Watford and the trumpet players on the project includedAndy Crowley, John Barclay, Maurice Murphy, Dan Newall, Paul Beniston, Tom Rainer and myself. A few different instruments were used including rotary valve trumpets and F trumpets (these are massive in length and a nightmare to play!) The composer,HowardShore, managed to win an Oscar for himself. Not surpriing really!!
