The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King Soundtrack - 01. A Storm Is Coming

The opening song for Return of the King in the Lord of the Rings, this song displays the outlook for the final film. It shows it as one of difficult times ahead. It is appropriately named, for a storm is indeed coming out of the East in an attempt to swallow up Men.

There is some notes of the Shire in this song as well. It gives the beginning of the film a happy beginning. The use of the strings is very effective here.

The song also shows how Smeagol came upon the Ring by killing his friend Deagol. It gives the viewer a broader sense of how consumed by the Ring Smeagol is.

Not even 1 million views? This is the best track of the trilogy, and probably one of the best themes ever

Can someone tell me what the main song is for the tune that played at 1:39. I am sure I have heard it as part of another LOTR song.
