The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring CR - 02. The Caverns Of Isengard

With an electrifying burst of Fellowship fragments, Strider intercepts
the Wraiths, and Shore introduces the Heroics of Aragorn's next stage of
development. Rising shapes in French horns recall the shady cello phrase
that accompanies Aragorn in Bree, now emphasizing a bolder heroism.
"He saves Frodo," says Shore. "He's Aragorn the hero—Aragorn the savior
of Frodo. He's so essential to the Fellowship."
The defeated Wraiths skulk back into the night while the Threat of
Mordor hisses curses at their vanquishers. The collective dangers of
Middle-earth, however, are far from conquered. Isengard has been ripped
to shreds, converted into a deadly collection of machines and malice. The
score introduces the Five Beat Pattern as the soulless drive of the once
beautiful land, and the Isengard/Orc theme as its call to arms. "Here's all
that metal percussion," Shore says, ominously. "It's the industrial might
of Middle-earth."
Also debuting here is material from the opposite end of the spectrum:
Nature's Reclamation, sung by boy soprano Edward Ross. This theme's
first appearance is flanked on either side by the Orcs' bellicose Five Beat
Pattern. Although the pattern fades when the Nature theme enters, the
score actually calls for the London Philharmonic percussion section to
continue playing the entire time. Shore wrote this way, fully intending
to dissolve a section of the Five Beat Pattern so that that this rhythm
would never lose its energy. In the film, the Pattern reenters after the
vocals with a ruthless sense of continued drive.
