Symphony No. 1 "The Lord of the Rings" is the first symphony for concert band written by Johan de Meij. It premiered in 1988 with the Groot Harmonieorkest van de Belgische Gidsen conducted by Norbert Nozy. The CD by the military band Koninklijke Militaire Kapel made the symphony famous.

In 1989 the symphony was awarded the Sudler Composition Award [cite web|title=Johan De Meij|work=The Flying Inkpot |url=http://www.inkpot.com/classical/meijbonering.html|accessdate=2007-12-07] .
