Track 12: Helm's Deep

This track begins much faster. Obviously this announces conflict. The choir joins in at 0:56 and seems to add an urgency to the track.

Then the music slows down so that it can bring in the Rohan theme in war mode. I call it that because as the Hardinger is playing you can hear the drums in the background.

It ends slowly with a soprano, which I think represents the sorrow Eowyn feels because Aragorn is lost.

I really like this track and I think the vocal parts give it a nice sweeping feel.
