Track-by-Track: Soundtrack Discussion and Analysis

[Lathriel]

I like this track(Well I like every track anyway) Everytime I hear it I feel hope. In fact all I have to do is think of the song and it plays in my head as most of the LOTR tracks do. I love the fact that the instruments are clearly heard. The rest of the orchestra basically provides the harmony while the clarinet (Or is it an Oboe, maybe the sound is too sharp for a clarinet,at least my brother's clarinet can be extremely mellow at times), the French Horn and the Trumpet are clearly heard rising above the rest of the orchestra and giving their clear melody. Sometimes it gives me goosbumps.
After this track the sound of this CD changes instantly and we don't hear the fellowship theme in its full glory anymore.
Also another thing I like about this track is that before the trumpet takes over the strings announce its coming, they increase the intensity untill finally the lower brass comes in, and then the trumpet gives the fellowship theme in its full glory. All I can say is Beautiful!!!
