Boston Pops Fireworks

[ladyarianrod]

Hello, everyone- this is my first time posting.

I was just watching a lovely segment on the Boston Pops Fireworks show on CBS. The orchestra was playing a wonderful, stirring song that was reminiscent of Titanic's main theme. It also reminded me of the flute-driven Shire scenes from the Lord of the Rings and the theme from Shrek.

I was wondering if anyone knew the source or title of this song. It played on 7/4/08 (eastern time) at 10:35 pm or so. It appeared after the Dropkick Murphies' "shipping off to Boston" played.

Thanks!
