It speaks for the characters, especially the scene when Eowyn is standing at Meduseld and the banner rips and blows away. Without that piercing note, it would be good, but not great.<P>I was amazed at how gracefully and poignantly Shore brought together all the themes at the end. A person could almost see that movie just for the music.
