Summary The Lord of the Rings soundtracks have come to define the fantasy movie trilogy as much as the story and characters of the narrative. Based on J.R.R. Tolkien's seminal and influential book series of the same name, The Lord of the Rings movies are some of the most popular cinematic works of speculative fiction.
10 Ents Marching On Isengard The Ents lend their power and might to the Hobbits after Saurman destroys the trees. Close The Ents are some of the most tragic creatures in The Lord of the Rings series, as they're forgotten and exploited more than many of the other beings in Middle Earth. Saruman the White cuts down many trees and forests during The Two Towers, and this angers Treebeard and the other Ents that Merry and Pippin encounter.
Gandalf is pulled to the edge of the abyss and then falls off the edge, and the frightening aspect of the music shifts to one of grief and devastation. Gandalf's supposed death is the first true loss that Frodo experiences on his quest to Mount Doom, and without Gandalf, the Fellowship soon splits and turns on each other. The reason Gandalf says, "Fly you fools," in The Lord of the Rings is because he's spurring the remaining Fellowship members to run from the Balrog.
7 The Shire Theme In TFOTR The first time the Shire theme is introduced sets the tone for the entire trilogy. Close At the beginning of The Fellowship of the Ring, the audience meets Frodo and the residents of the Shire in complete peace and happiness. This is a vital juxtaposition and baseline for the remaining films because the audience must understand what is special and important about the Shire to relate and empathize with Frodo, Gandalf, and the other Hobbits.
In "The Ring Goes South," the music begins with horns and an ominous undertone, as it needs to be communicated that this fantastical adventure is defined by its danger. However, as each member of the Fellowship crests the mountain, the camera pulls back to show the majesty of the rugged landscape, and the triumph of the Fellowship theme rings clearly. It's a fully orchestrated theme that almost only appears when the entire Fellowship is together.
3 Carrying Frodo Up Mount Doom Though Frodo carries the burden of the Ring, it's Sam who makes it possible. Close The relationship between Sam and Frodo is one of the most important in the entire book series and movie trilogy. Without Sam, there's no way that Frodo would make it to Mount Doom or that the Ring would ultimately be destroyed. In an all-hope-is-lost moment as Frodo and Sam make the trek to the summit of Mount Doom, Frodo falters, physically and emotionally exhausted.
