Favorite Lord of the Rings Music/Song

[Shalashaskka]

I can’t remember the name of the piece, but in Return of the King there’s one major one that just makes me sob every time I hear it. It’s from the part where Sam and Frodo are talking about the Shire, and then Sam carries him up Mount Doom, with the big choir singing along. Big tears every time.

I think you’re talking about “Return of the King.” I’m listening to it now

I have all three soundtracks on a playlist that I use for marathon study sessions. I use the vocal pieces at the end of each CD (May It Be, Gollum’s Song, Into the West) to time my study breaks, and they’re probably my favorites since I usually devote more attention to them.

The Bridge of Khazad Dum for sure, though of course I greatly enjoy the entire thing.

Seconded!
Also, I love “Amon hen” - from the end of Fellowship when the Uruk-hai attack the gang. Very heroic!

I did a special edit for myself compiling material from all three soundtracks, editing out the harsh or intense stuff. Particularly the bit from The Bridge Of Khazad Dum where Gandalf falls; I call it “Flying Fools, Crying Fools”. It makes great background music for reading or writing, or just plain relaxing. I don’t dislike the louder sections, I’m just easily distracted.

That sounds really cool, I’d love to hear it as well. I made a “Best of Lord of the Rings” CD for the car, but thats about as far as my musical composition skills go.
