Soundtrack A Scene - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I was just poking about on YouTube listening to music on there and I saw someone had made a fanvid of the Fall of Gandalf using as a soundtrack Lacrimosa from Mozart's Requiem. It worked very, very well indeed and made me remember just how devastated I was after Gandalf's fall when I first read the books all those years ago.

So, this is simple really, have you an ideal soundtrack for a particular scene in Tolkien's work?

For me, when Bilbo leaves The Shire I always hear Vaughan Williams's Fantasia On A Theme By Thomas Tallis. And I often wish Peter Jackson had used Led Zep's Immigrant Song to soundtrack the Ride of the Rohirrim
