Track-by-Track: Soundtrack Discussion and Analysis

[The Tennis Ball Kid]

What do you mean? A lsit of corresponding tracks of music in the DVDs?

Yeah, basically; it's my guess at a track list for the first CD of the box-set....


The Riders Of Rohan:
This track has three pieces of music, the first is the pounding, rhythmic bit as Eomer and co. surrond the Three Hunters.

This reminds me of something out of The Magnifcent Seven (which I was listening to today), something about the driving rhythms...I like it, especially the way it ends by seemingly circling itself around the Hunters same as Eomer does then suddenly halts.

The second, and shortest, underscores Gandalf riding from Edoras, the main thing of note is the "White Rider" theme making it's first appearance on the album.

The third, is simply splendid, the lead in with Eowyn's theme on strings, and the build-up to the fiddle solo of the Rohan theme, I find this piece quite moving.
