It's not that much simpler than most celtic tunes. the misfortune is that the b- part is drowned out by crowd noises and dialogue.
I don't think that the theme from the Fellowship of The Ring could be sped up. Too many long notes, if you ask me. I don't know about The Two Towers, because I don't have the soundtrack to that one, but the theme from Rohan seems much more Norse to me. High, thin violin solo, not so melodic. Seems a bit like the score to 13th Warrior. but generally i mourned the lack of background music in The Two Towers (though the sound system setup was åretty bad no matter where I saw it)
