Moments Worth Listening For
The sudden transition from the playful tin whistle of the Shire into the oppressive, low-register brass of the Nazgul theme
The soaring, ethereal soprano vocal in Evenstar that feels like it is floating above the entire orchestra
The rhythmic, industrial percussion and aggressive choral chanting that signals the rise of Isengard
