The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring CR - 11. The Doors Of Durin

Dangerous Passes sets the Fellowship back on the road, depositing them this time at the hidden entrance to Moria. The moonlit doors are eventually revealed with a rising series of major triads and the choral text, "Gandalf at the Door to Moria." Once the doors creak open a brief overlapping statement of the Moria theme manifests, but soon dissipates as the Fellowship sees the carnage that awaits their arrival. Retreat, however, places them in even graver danger.
This composition marks the first of three sequential monster moments in the score, each of which is approached differently. The music for the Watcher in the Water's attack is almost entirely aleatoric—built primarily of controlled streams of orchestral wriggles, for which Shore strictly dictated pitch, entrances, material and performance style. The composer grins: "This is science fiction"

1:37. I don't know what it is..... But that is one of my favorite pieces. It's like a beautiful clearing in the dark despair. I loveeeeeeee it. Why isn't it in the official soundtrack?!

@Yourgoodfreindthekid When that game came out the Return of the King Soundtrack wasn't released yet so that game used music from both FOTR and TTT the third game was Third Age taht used music from all 3 movies so it goes

Two Towers - FOTR

Return of the King = TTT

Third Age= ROTK

@Mandrake102 If you play the lord of the rings return of the king game, where you fight Shelob, they use the Watcher's music during that fight. So maybe that's where *shrug*

[Mandrake102]

creepy, yet beautiful! The Watcher's theme remembers me of Shelob, somehow... ah, it must be the number of legs (or whatever they are) that makes the similiarity!
