Well whatever it was, it was gorgeous. Go Howard Shore! When I first heard the soundtrack I wasn't sure if I liked that many vocals, (there are quite a few) but they work perfectly in the movie. And the Rohan theme is great. I especially liked the part in Meduseld when everyone's fighting and Gandalf's coming towards Theoden. There's a subtle...Hardangerfela...sound, and it's really high and sounds distressed. I notice that every time and I love it. If Mr. Shore doesn't win another Oscar, I'm going to be out for the judges' blood.
