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?
This is really great foreshadowing to one of the greatest speeches of all time. When Rohan's army arrives at the fields of Pelennor, Theoden instantly recognizes that his men will start to waver at the sight of Mordor's army (as evidenced by Eowyn's voice and Eomer dithering with his horse). Theoden then gives brisk and confident orders and encouragement to his lieutenants and his men. But, he also knows that his men are still held back by the thought of whether they will live or die in this battle. He then evokes the thought of certain death and the world's ending in his men with glorious bravado. His men will now give their all in this battle as the fear of death no longer hangs above their heads. And then at last, he reminds them of their glorious ancestors, inspiring them to give their all in this last glorious charge.
LOTR saved me during an extremely difficult psychedelic experience. When Gimli leaped from Helms Deep to stop the Uruk-Hai from killing Aragorn It inspired me in a deep way that words can't describe.
All that is gold does not glitter. Not all those who wander are lost. The old that is strong does not wither. Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken. A light from the shadow shall spring. Renewed will be blade that was broken. The crownless again shall be king.
Also a very beautiful scene. The beacons, burning from Gondor to Rohan all the way thru the night; and then at dawn reaching Meduseld. The music in that scene is almost wagnerian, and you really get a sense of scale and distance (it takes an entire night for the beacons to reach Rohan).
“Arise, arise, Riders of Théoden! Spears shall be shaken, shields shall be splintered, a sword-day, a red day, ere the sun rises! Ride now! Ride now! Ride! Ride for ruin and the world’s ending! Death! Death! Death! Forth Eorlingas!”

It really brings a tear to my eye thinking of how Rohan answered the call for aid from Gondor - they went knowingly to their deaths against overwhelming odds to honour the oaths made by their ancestors. Just imagine fighting for your life in MInas Tirith and hearing the horn signalling the charge of the Rohirrim...
Boromir: The world of men will fall, and all will come to darkness and my city to ruin!.. Aragorn: I don't know what strength is in my blood, but I swear to you I will not let the White City fall, nor our people fail...
"Sons of Gondor, of Rohan, my brothers, I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me. A day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day. An hour of wolves and shattered shields, when the age of men comes crashing down, but it is not this day! This day we fight!

How can a piece of music hold such power, hope and a will to fight for all that is good, yet remain so humble? And why can't we get anything of this caliber 20 years later?
It's part of demoralization. The people who control our cukture (Hollywood) have been deliberately making terrible movies. It's so newer generations never know su h beauty. It's Marxism 101. Too much to explain in a comment honestly, and I'm tired of people not listening anyway.
I love how the music tells a story itself without a single word in it, about how a once mighty civilisation is now only a shadow of it's former glory, but still capable of rising again.
I have seen so many people claim that they dream of being hobbits, living in the Shire. That they dream of living in Bag End, wandering down to the Green Dragon. Well, so much for them. As for me, ever since these movies came out my dream has been to be a Man of Gondor. To stand on the walls of Minas Tirith, wearing the white and sable of the Citadel. To know that that the kind and good folk of the West are all behind me, and that perhaps I can do some small part to defend them from the darkness in the East. There is a certain strength in knowing that, upon you, the hammer-stroke will fall the hardest. A certain power in knowing that the Enemy hates you the most, simply for the good your ancestors did. A temptation to stand on the white walls and say to the blackness: is that the best you've got?
This is me but with being a man of Lothern. These men were that of the Simirillion, standing guard of the most important valley in a war of gods and Demi gods. Even after the elves (who would be considered gods in the third age) these men held
As for me, I long to be among the Eorlings of Rohan, to ride to death and glory beside my brothers and my king. When the horn is sounded, and the call resounds across the riddermark, I long to be there to meet the foes of the west in your hour of greatest need. Side by side sheding blood and clashing steel with the darkness. We stand together.
i hope you guys all play the game to be able to live that feeling ;) as for me, im a wandering captain of man, helping anywhere that i can, finding just as much satisfaction in helping a young rohhirrim boy find his favorite toy that he lost than in destroying an entire orc camp
The contrast between the Rohan themes at Edoras and Pelennor Fields is honestly breathtaking. It starts as a very slow, almost melancholy theme. And yet, Theoden returns to lucidity and begins to lead again, showing that even in the despair imposed by Saruman's assault, there is hope that they can rebuild. Then at Pelennor, the entire theme changes to a triumphant battle call, showing Rohan in the full glory and martial might it was meant to be.
@@LordTelperion Indeed. And the successors of Nova Roma still exist. It is the Greeks! Who I regret saying, despite all their efforts to preserve their culture and strenght, may suffer a same fate as that of Gondor. Black clouds arise in the East, and Turkey expresses more and more demands of vassalization with the threat of genocide. Even if there is war and the Greeks win, still the situation is hopeless, for they are endless in number (by 2040 the Turks will be 100 million people). Lets hope for Eucatastrophy to ensue...

Tall ships and Tall Kings Three times three, What brought them from the Foundered Lands Over the flowing sea? Seven stars And seven stones And one White Tree.
This theme gives the since of pure honor. What a great feeling this music gives. We need more men and women of honor in this world. People who do right because that’s the right thing to do. We need more people to think and act like heroes.
Stunning mix of music and artwork! Is it just me, or are there tiny flakes of ash slowly floating down onto the Riders of Rohan? Brilliant touch! It really adds the sense of smell to the danger, fear and heroism of the scene!
RIP Bernard Hill, you return to the halls of your forebearers, this very scene was made that much more glorious and inspiring with you leading the charge.
'All that glitters is not golden, not all who wonder are not lost, the old that is strong does not whither, deep roots not reached by the frost, from the ashes a fire shall awaken, a light from the shadow shall spring, renewed shall be sward that was broken, the crownless again shall be king'.
This music, knowing so much lore and knowing this story and this world so well... it is one off the most epic stories off good vs bad. Because epicniss is at every level off this story. The Gondor theme represents this so well and foreshadows the return of the king.
Felt like this was the greatest depiction of the overwhelming wave that was Mordor. Just relentless, but also a reminder to relish the small victories (in this case the archer ambush saving Faramir)
Take the forces of Mordor away by the Blood of our People while your lands keep safe! LET THE ARMIES OF MORDOR KNOW THIS NEVER AGAIN WILL THE LAND OF MY PEOPLE FALL IN TO ENEMY HANDS !!!! Boromir a True Hero and Patriot!! Long life his Spirit 💪🏻🔥
No kidding. Time to let go of that foreign Abrahamic faith, its poison to Europe's soul. We need to return to worship of the natural world and respect the laws of nature
I love the soundtrack to this trilogy. It still amazes me how everything was so smooth and pleasant I fear we will never see another masterpiece like this in our lifetime.

Todos soñamos con la magia y la fantasia, la mistica y la leyenda, los grandes poderes y dones, la musica de los elfos y enanos y en general toda la banda sonora de la trilogia es una obra maestra para transmitir estas emociones. No obstante la musica de los hombres de Gondor y Rohan es especial, ellas no transmiten magia o poderes, esta musica transmite emociones, transmite fuerza, transmite valor nos muestra el coraje con el que como humanos debemos ofrontar la adversidad. No con magia ni poderes si no con nuestras manos, con nuestra valentia y voluntad mostrando que aun cuando carecemos de magia o grandes poderes es nuestra voluntad y coraje las que nos llevaran adalente, nuestros pies nos conducen al camino, nuestros brazos son los que nos abren paso y nuestra mente es la que no pone los pies en la tierra mostrando aue podemos superar cualquier adversidad en la vida e igualmente siempre con la meta a la vista. Y no seran la magia ni los grandes poderes los que nos llevaran a la victoria, sera muestra fuerza conjunta, muestro valor, nuestra unión, ese es el poder del ser humano, no importa donde vayan las cosas no importa si hay magia o poderes siempre estaremos ahí para hacer frente a la adversidad con valor, disiplina y coraje. Somos hombres y juntos somos mas fuertes que cualquier poder o magia en el mundo siempre que nuestros corazónes esten unidos por una causa justa y verdadera saldremos adelante y limpiaremos el mundo del mal aun si este mal esta en nosotros mismos.
Men have supernatural powers in Middle-Earth, or specific men, like the line of Numenor. Aragorn saves Gondor with an army of ghosts, cursed and then released effectively by human sorcery. But why shouldn't he? It's legendary times after all.
The earth is 4,4 billion years old. The dinosaurs reigned for 160 million years. The human race has been around for maybe 600 thousand years or so. Your life, in the grand scale of things, is litteraly less than a microsecond, and we're not even counting the countless millenias that still remains on earth. Your very existence is practically impossible. Yet not only do you exist, you came at a time where you could experience the lord of the rings. So stop complaining.
Carbon dating theory is *_quite literally just circular reasoning_* and ev0|μtion theory is extremely pseudoscientific. The entire ocean would be nothing but salt by now if anything you just said was even remotely true. Go back to the 1970's if you wanna push that b.s.
The men in Tolkien are those imperfect, easily corrupted by hunger for wealth and power. That is what burns a brighter flame in the men who seek light and goodness.
I only hear the music and it gives me chills and I can see the scenes in my head. The same with Narnia's theme. If only all the Narnia movies were done as beautifully and true to the books as the first and what Peter Jackson did for the Lord of the Rings. I hope Netflix doesn't screw it up, Narnia sadly has more rights than the Lord of the Rings. Glad Peter Jackson did these amazing movies before we all had to gag on Rings of Power.
“The day may come when the courage of men fails, where we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day. An hour of wolves and shattered shields when the age of man comes crashing down, but it is not this day, this day we fight! By all that you hold dear on this good earth, I bud you stand men of the west!”
It's perfectly fitting, men are always at their strongest when they're fighting for survival. Their worst parts fall away such as greed and malice when they're united as one.
Currently I'm playing Astra Militarum and am about to be destroyed by Tyranids. May this new light guide my army and the whole mankind to our glorious victory, may this fight be glorious!

I was listening to music, then suddenly it dropped. I turned the volume to max; the neighbors shall know Gondor needs aid.
And Rohan will answer
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?
I have seen the White City
"I would have followed you my brother.., my captain.., my king.."
goddamnit that brought tears into my eyes...
One of my favorite scenes of the entire triology, the delivery by Sean Bean is amazing.
I do not know the strength I have left but I swear to you, I will never let the White City Fall, nor our people die.
“Too few have come- we cannot hope to beat the armies of Mordor.”
“No, we cannot. But we will meet them in battle nonetheless.”
FORTH EORLINGAS
100% bad ass.
This is really great foreshadowing to one of the greatest speeches of all time. When Rohan's army arrives at the fields of Pelennor, Theoden instantly recognizes that his men will start to waver at the sight of Mordor's army (as evidenced by Eowyn's voice and Eomer dithering with his horse). Theoden then gives brisk and confident orders and encouragement to his lieutenants and his men. But, he also knows that his men are still held back by the thought of whether they will live or die in this battle. He then evokes the thought of certain death and the world's ending in his men with glorious bravado. His men will now give their all in this battle as the fear of death no longer hangs above their heads. And then at last, he reminds them of their glorious ancestors, inspiring them to give their all in this last glorious charge.

How can a piece of music hold such power, hope and a will to fight for all that is good, yet remain so humble? And why can't we get anything of this caliber 20 years later?

It's part of demoralization. The people who control our cukture (Hollywood) have been deliberately making terrible movies. It's so newer generations never know su h beauty. It's Marxism 101. Too much to explain in a comment honestly, and I'm tired of people not listening anyway.
There can be no triumph without loss.
No victory without suffering.
No freedom without sacrifice.
Those are the few things worth loss suffering and sacrifice but love and fellowship are worth them all

I have seen so many people claim that they dream of being hobbits, living in the Shire. That they dream of living in Bag End, wandering down to the Green Dragon.
Well, so much for them. As for me, ever since these movies came out my dream has been to be a Man of Gondor. To stand on the walls of Minas Tirith, wearing the white and sable of the Citadel.
To know that that the kind and good folk of the West are all behind me, and that perhaps I can do some small part to defend them from the darkness in the East.
There is a certain strength in knowing that, upon you, the hammer-stroke will fall the hardest. A certain power in knowing that the Enemy hates you the most, simply for the good your ancestors did.
A temptation to stand on the white walls and say to the blackness: is that the best you've got?
This is me but with being a man of Lothern. These men were that of the Simirillion, standing guard of the most important valley in a war of gods and Demi gods. Even after the elves (who would be considered gods in the third age) these men held
Exactly how i feel as being one of the Horse Lords, riding through the Riddemark. For my King and my people.
As for me, I long to be among the Eorlings of Rohan, to ride to death and glory beside my brothers and my king. When the horn is sounded, and the call resounds across the riddermark, I long to be there to meet the foes of the west in your hour of greatest need. Side by side sheding blood and clashing steel with the darkness.
We stand together.
Absolutely!
"The very warmth of my blood seems stollen away!"
i hope you guys all play the game to be able to live that feeling ;) as for me, im a wandering captain of man, helping anywhere that i can, finding just as much satisfaction in helping a young rohhirrim boy find his favorite toy that he lost than in destroying an entire orc camp
Tolkien's gift is the gift of hope, a hope that shall never die, hope in the most noble, valiant and beautiful traits of the human race.
"Our people... I would have followed you my brother, my captain, my king."
The contrast between the Rohan themes at Edoras and Pelennor Fields is honestly breathtaking. It starts as a very slow, almost melancholy theme. And yet, Theoden returns to lucidity and begins to lead again, showing that even in the despair imposed by Saruman's assault, there is hope that they can rebuild. Then at Pelennor, the entire theme changes to a triumphant battle call, showing Rohan in the full glory and martial might it was meant to be.
I really like the transition from Gondor themes to Rohan themes using the lighting of the beacons. Very fitting :)
"By all that you hold dear, on this good Earth! I bid you, STAND! MEN OF THE WEST!"

Indeed. And the successors of Nova Roma still exist. It is the Greeks! Who I regret saying, despite all their efforts to preserve their culture and strenght, may suffer a same fate as that of Gondor. Black clouds arise in the East, and Turkey expresses more and more demands of vassalization with the threat of genocide. Even if there is war and the Greeks win, still the situation is hopeless, for they are endless in number (by 2040 the Turks will be 100 million people). Lets hope for Eucatastrophy to ensue...

Tolkien was definitely trying to tell us something with these stories of good vs evil. He was trying to awaken men. Even when things seem hopeless.

Much of the LotR tracks fit in that small category of music that can literally move me to tears whenever I hear it.
I finally had time to rewatch LOTR, and I remembered how beautiful it is!
All Hail Theoden King of Horse Lords and Great Among MEN!!
“The bent shape of the king sprang suddenly erect. Tall and proud he seemed again; and rising in his stirrups he cried in a loud voice, more clear than any there had ever heard a mortal man achieve before.
Arise, arise, Riders of Théoden! Fell deeds awake: fire and slaughter! Spears shall be shaken, shields be splintered, A sword day, a red day, ere the sun rises!
Ride now, ride now! Ride to Gondor!
With that he seized a great horn from Guthláf his banner-bearer, and he blew such a blast upon it that it burst asunder. And straightaway all the horns in the host were lifted up in music, and the blowing of the horns of Rohan in that hour was like a storm upon the plain and a thunder in the mountains.
Ride now, ride now! Ride to Gondor!
Suddenly, the king cried to Snowmane and the horse sprang away. Behind him his banner blew in the wind, white horse upon a field of green, but he outpaced it. After him thundered the knights of his house, but he was ever before them ..."

You need to understand something. Polacks are not included in the Race of Men. Your analogous Tolkien race is Orcs.
Sing now, ye people of the Tower of Anor,
for the Realm of Sauron is ended for ever,
and the Dark Tower is thrown down.
Sing and rejoice, ye people of the Tower of Guard,
for your watch hath not been in vain,
and the Black Gate is broken,
and your King hath passed through,
and he is victorious.
Sing and be glad, all ye children of the West,
for your King shall come again,
and he shall dwell among you
all the days of your life.
And the Tree that was withered shall be renewed,
and he shall plant it in the high places,
and the City shall be blessed.
Sing all ye people!
Yet remain vigilant. For as evil can neither create nor destroy the same rules apply to it. Remain vigilant less the dark roots begin to gnaw at the world. For it was the first dark lord who made earth his ring. An should thy grow thrice ignorant then we may forever fall into shadow. But not today, not tomorrow, not a century from now for so long as man be true to one another we shall hath overcome all the evils of the world!

RIP Bernard Hill, you return to the halls of your forebearers, this very scene was made that much more glorious and inspiring with you leading the charge.
'All that glitters is not golden, not all who wonder are not lost, the old that is strong does not whither, deep roots not reached by the frost, from the ashes a fire shall awaken, a light from the shadow shall spring, renewed shall be sward that was broken, the crownless again shall be king'.
This music, knowing so much lore and knowing this story and this world so well... it is one off the most epic stories off good vs bad. Because epicniss is at every level off this story. The Gondor theme represents this so well and foreshadows the return of the king.
3:33 - 4:00 been looking for this for ages. Represents the struggle

The soundtrack is called "Minas Tirith" on the Return of the King album. On 1:11 to be exact 😉
Felt like this was the greatest depiction of the overwhelming wave that was Mordor. Just relentless, but also a reminder to relish the small victories (in this case the archer ambush saving Faramir)

Yes, it is incredibly emotionally stirring! What a super artist!
"Sons of Gondor! Of Rohan! My brothers. I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me. A day may come when the courage of Men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day.

Todos soñamos con la magia y la fantasia, la mistica y la leyenda, los grandes poderes y dones, la musica de los elfos y enanos y en general toda la banda sonora de la trilogia es una obra maestra para transmitir estas emociones. No obstante la musica de los hombres de Gondor y Rohan es especial, ellas no transmiten magia o poderes, esta musica transmite emociones, transmite fuerza, transmite valor nos muestra el coraje con el que como humanos debemos ofrontar la adversidad. No con magia ni poderes si no con nuestras manos, con nuestra valentia y voluntad mostrando que aun cuando carecemos de magia o grandes poderes es nuestra voluntad y coraje las que nos llevaran adalente, nuestros pies nos conducen al camino, nuestros brazos son los que nos abren paso y nuestra mente es la que no pone los pies en la tierra mostrando aue podemos superar cualquier adversidad en la vida e igualmente siempre con la meta a la vista. Y no seran la magia ni los grandes poderes los que nos llevaran a la victoria, sera muestra fuerza conjunta, muestro valor, nuestra unión, ese es el poder del ser humano, no importa donde vayan las cosas no importa si hay magia o poderes siempre estaremos ahí para hacer frente a la adversidad con valor, disiplina y coraje. Somos hombres y juntos somos mas fuertes que cualquier poder o magia en el mundo siempre que nuestros corazónes esten unidos por una causa justa y verdadera saldremos adelante y limpiaremos el mundo del mal aun si este mal esta en nosotros mismos.
Men have supernatural powers in Middle-Earth, or specific men, like the line of Numenor. Aragorn saves Gondor with an army of ghosts, cursed and then released effectively by human sorcery. But why shouldn't he? It's legendary times after all.
The transition between the themes of Gondor and Rohan with the Lighting of the Beacons was perfect. Amazing compilation!

Peter Jackson made a history himself this years.
The earth is 4,4 billion years old. The dinosaurs reigned for 160 million years. The human race has been around for maybe 600 thousand years or so. Your life, in the grand scale of things, is litteraly less than a microsecond, and we're not even counting the countless millenias that still remains on earth. Your very existence is practically impossible. Yet not only do you exist, you came at a time where you could experience the lord of the rings. So stop complaining.
Carbon dating theory is *_quite literally just circular reasoning_* and ev0|μtion theory is extremely pseudoscientific. The entire ocean would be nothing but salt by now if anything you just said was even remotely true. Go back to the 1970's if you wanna push that b.s.
You beautiful man.
This is exactly what we needed.
Thank you!
5:57 The beacon of Gondor has been lit
The men in Tolkien are those imperfect, easily corrupted by hunger for wealth and power. That is what burns a brighter flame in the men who seek light and goodness.
Hopefully so
that first image, sends chills down my spine. There truly is no other story such as the one Tolkien brought forth
This is so epic. I have no doubt ArenaNet took inspiration on these monumental master pieces to compose the Kryta themes.
I only hear the music and it gives me chills and I can see the scenes in my head. The same with Narnia's theme. If only all the Narnia movies were done as beautifully and true to the books as the first and what Peter Jackson did for the Lord of the Rings. I hope Netflix doesn't screw it up, Narnia sadly has more rights than the Lord of the Rings.
Glad Peter Jackson did these amazing movies before we all had to gag on Rings of Power.
I can also see the scenes from the movies that the music I listen to is from. A lot of the time its this httyd and Pacific rim
very soothing and makes me wanna go to middle earth specially to gondor and rohan!
“The day may come when the courage of men fails, where we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day. An hour of wolves and shattered shields when the age of man comes crashing down, but it is not this day, this day we fight!

What a masterpiece... I'm speechless, everytime...
Anyone else noticed how , the music of dwarves is like powerful lullaby, of elves like melodic melancholy and of the men like last ray of hope........
It's perfectly fitting, men are always at their strongest when they're fighting for survival. Their worst parts fall away such as greed and malice when they're united as one.
