Soundtrack Sunday: The Riders of Rohan (The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers)

It’s Soundtrack Sunday again! The day where I post awesome music to write to or just listen to for pleasure if you’re a fellow soundtrack junkie. Since this week I’m having a friend over and we’re doing the ultimate Hobbit/LotR marathon, I thought it appropriate post a piece from the Lord of the Rings and this is from my favorite book/movie the Two Towers. ^ ^ 

I love the music of Rohan. It has always been my favorite since I heard it as a little kid. This piece starts intense with trumpets and strings in full orchestra then calms into my favorite part of the piece with the characteristic Rohan theme with mostly strings and a bit of oboe that builds into epicness. My soul just sings when the violin solo comes in. Then it ends on an intense note. This is a great piece for writing an epic fantasy. I just love it. ^ ^ You can listen to more epic music in my Soundtrack Sundays YouTube playlist.

Have you heard this piece before? What do you think of it? Have you seen the Lord of the Rings: the Two Towers?
