This is seriously one of the most beautiful songs ever written. Many elements of this song can be found scattered throughout the Return of the King, from the melody being featured in the most amazing instrumental arrangement to the imagery being described by Gandalf while talking to Pippin...the words(ish) are in the books too. The melody line is featured various times in the soundtrack, with the high note resounding clearly in the brass...french horn, maybe. It's one of the most beautiful and chilling things I've ever heard. Composer of LOTR music=Howard Shore=Genius.
