Favourite track on TTT soundtrack - Page 2 - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

01-04-2003, 10:55 AM

So how many musical pieces there were in all? Like six? seven?First time I saw the movie I thought there were like three. One 'Admire the beatiful scenery' music, one(two?) sad music and one intense battle music.But I like the so called scenery music. Brought a smile to my face.

There are 19 tracks on the soundtrack (20 on the special edition) if that's what you mean.If you mean that Howard Shore only used about three different themes, then you have to listen closer.

If anyone wants, a cue by cue analysis can be found <A HREF="http://www.moviemusic.com/mb/Forum1/HTML/010649.html" TARGET=_blank>here.</A> This tells you what is happening in the movie in relation to the soundtrack.

Best parts in the soundtrack are in my opinon all towards the end: In Track 16 (Forth Eorlingas) at 1:47 (King Theoden stand alone.....Not alone!) In Track 17 (Isenguard Unleashed) at 2:10 (The Ents now march to war)

Gollum · 01-21-2003, 10:04 PM

My favorite tracks are 3,5,12,14-19!!!...Does the special edition soundtrack have the ents song on it? My regular one has the words...

The Flame Of Anor · 01-22-2003, 07:56 AM

"The Ents" is the section of 'isenguard unleashed' once the ents start singing. The exact time is in my previous post.(edit) also, the above posted cues are (in my professional opininon :-) ) a bit off as a couple of the songs are spliced together once or twice in a different order.[ January 22, 2003: Message edited by: The Flame Of Anor ]

Sorry to keep tacking things on, but i was really hoping someone might know of a way to get the two major moments missing from the soundtrack i noticed: As Legolas surfs the sheild, there is a bold fellowship theme and Gimli blowing the Horn of Helm Hammerhand.

Airehiriel · 01-22-2003, 10:09 AM

I really like "The Hornburg" which has the music that was played when the Elves marched into Helm's Deep. For me, the first time I watched it, it was a very emotional scene. When I was leaving the movie theater after watching the movie for the first time, I made the remark to my sister that the song that was being sung sounded like it was for Gollum. I said to her, "what is this, Gollum's song?" And everytime I saw the movie after that I listened to it to figure out what it was there for. All I could think of was Gollum. Needless to say, when I found out that the song was, indeed for Gollum, and called "Gollum's Song" I was very amused with myself.I also enjoy the violin parts like what is found toward the end of Helm's Deep. My sister said that the tune for that seems to be like the main theme tune of the movie, like she noticed a main tune for the first, and bits of that were heard in the second movie, which was a nice tie in.

HCIsland · 01-22-2003, 10:52 AM

I could be wrong, but I think the bold fellowship theme is exactly the same as the bold fellowship theme when Aragorn and Frodo get across the gap in the stairs in Moria. So if you want it, I think it's on the first soundtrack.H.C.

mollecon · 01-22-2003, 10:07 PM

Both of you are right! (Airehiel & HCIsland) - that Rohan music (with the Hardanger fiddle being used some places) is surely the main theme in TTT. Not so strange since so much of the movie is taking place there & involves their big battle against Saruman.The Fellowship theme can be heard in TTT too. It is more used in FotR, of course, & can first be heard 'full-blown' ( ) right after the fellowship leaves Riwendell - & it's also obvious in Moria, right after the fellowship manages to get past the broken staircase, just before the Balrog.& yes, the fellowship theme is on both soundtracks, as is the Hobbit theme & probably others. Shore uses a technique where certain themes are connected to either certain people or groups of people, or places, or both. So those 'key'-themes will appear in various forms throughout the movies where they fit. The technique is called using a 'leitmotif' (leading motive/theme).[ January 22, 2003: Message edited by: mollecon ][ January 23, 2003: Message edited by: mollecon ]

Vorrothiel · 01-23-2003, 02:13 AM

I think Samwise the brave is the best track on TTT... The hornburg is also quite good...

eleniwilwarin · 01-23-2003, 07:29 AM

I like Samwise the brave.

King_Elessar · 01-23-2003, 11:01 AM

Definatly the Rohan tune in all tracks with any Rohan scenes. The Elves tune at Helm's Deep is the best, and Fangorn - well whatever that cool track with the mysterious drums in is!Bye, Elessar

Lady_Báin · 01-23-2003, 01:52 PM

woohoo i love emiliana torrini she's the best! my favorite was Gollums song and i just loved the whole thing because it all fit perfectly with every scene.

Pookabunny · 01-23-2003, 05:26 PM

Whenever I turn my CD player on, it always starts where I left off - but I put it back to the beginning because I LOVE the intro and the first track (Foundations Of Stone) and the other song I LOVE is Evenstar. I had to listen to the soundtrack a few times before I really appreciated it, but I LOVE it. The Rohan theme kinda grows on ya, but that FIRST track just grabs me.

The Flame Of Anor · 01-23-2003, 05:41 PM

I have to agree, Foundations of Stone is good, but i hated that part in the movie (they messed it all up!! ahhh!!) If anyone has an audio clip of the Horn of Helm Hammerhand, i would be forever in their debt...

PigsnieLite · 01-23-2003, 06:16 PM

I liked the Hornburg music wid the Elves marchin into Helms Deep. When I last watched that scene at the cinema, several people in the audience yelled, YEAH!! That wuz the only part at which they did that. I noticed at the movie that they also played a bit of the march again when the Elves were chargin behind Aragorn. I also love that little bit of Elvish lamentin durin Haldirs sad sad sad end. Sniffles.

PigsnieLite · 01-23-2003, 06:18 PM

HUZZAH! I just noticed that Im not newly deceased anymore. I am now a PILE OF BONES! Cooool!
