Track-by-Track: Soundtrack Discussion and Analysis

[The Tennis Ball Kid]

Sorry I haven't been here....


Isengard Uleashed:

The choral Moth theme is beautiful here...but also violent...

I love the way the choir builds, joined by both the high solo and the lower mens' voices -- it's like the hobbits and the Ents together, almost.

I really like that.


Samwise The Brave:

We return to the emotional core of the score; the Shire theme....it's not in TTT a lot, but it is here, and it's almost heartbreaking....


Gollum's Song:

I like her voice here, I don't know if I'd listen to her out of the context of this song, but her voice has the right sound for this song....


The instrumental parts are my favorite parts of this track though, the melodies at the start are wonderful, and I love the way they work with the visuals at the end of the film.

And the finale with Eowyn's theme and the Rohan theme makes a great sendoff.




On to ROTK then, eh?
