The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring CR - 03. The Mirror Of Galadriel

Listening to the Elves' mourning voices from afar, Boromir experiences his own sad recollection. He dreams of Gondor and his
abiding love for his troubled father as the Minas Tirth theme plays out as a dialogue for first horn and first trumpet over warm
low string harmonies. This theme will not reappear until The Return of the King, where it stands as a crucial keystone of the Gondor
material.
The music shifts from brass tones to vocal timbres as Galadriel arrives and regards Frodo. "This scene was tricky because it's so
iconic," Shore remembers. "This whole scene, everybody who's ever read Tolkien knows every moment of it. It had to be done
perfectly." Galadriel and Frodo glimpse the potential future of Middle-earth in the Elf 's mirror and, for the only time in the scores,
Shore interweaves the music of Lothlórien with grating melodies of Mordor. The composer even allows the cruelest of the Mordor
themes, the Evil of the Ring, to sound in muted trumpets.
Afraid of what the future may hold, Frodo offers Galadriel the Ring. Her temptation is scored with an obscene orchestral crescendo
of burbling low strings and heavy brass chords—and a hint of the Mordor Outline in the timpani. "I wanted a breathing feeling—
to make the brass sigh," describes Shore. The
music recedes as Galadriel passes the test and accepts
that she, like the other Elves, must now diminish.
Her choice reaffirms that the Ring is to be carried
by Frodo and no other, as does a grim French horn
statement of the Journey There theme.

The beginning is amazing! When Boromir talks with Aragorn about the fall of Gondor :)

And then when Frodo starts seeing memories and horrible things that might happen in the mirror... Epic :D

The piece in the beginning gets me every time.

@Sindre17605 If you really want this music, then buy it. A lot easier and it supports and respects the Artist and Composers. Otherwise you'll just have to convert each video...

"Have you ever seen it Aragorn? The White Tower of Ecthelion, glimmering like a spike of pearl and silver. Its banners caught high in the morning breeze. Have you ever been called home by the clear ringing of silver trumpets? One day, our paths will lead us there. And the tower guard shall take up the call: "'The Lords of Gondor have returned!'"
