Track-by-Track: Soundtrack Discussion and Analysis

[The Tennis Ball Kid]

The eye opening moment when Gandalf lights up Darrowdelf and that glorious music plays is probably my favorite moment in the score, and maybe the movie. Wow! Just wow!

Shore simply chose to let the sounds of battle do the job for him.

Actually it's probably a combination of Shore and PJ; quite often the the composer would work together with the director to decide which parts would have music and what it does.
