I have too many beloved parts of the soundtrack to really pick favorites. One I haven't seen mentioned yet is the track called "The Great River" on the OST. That music ties thematically to the on-screen action so beautifully! The starting point is the healing magic of Lothlorien and blessing from Galadriel. A roll of drums marks the passage forward from sanctuary to danger. The Fellowship Theme resurfaces multiple times, in fragments, as the Fellowship strives to reconstitute itself without Gandalf. The building voices sing the Oath of Elendil as the Argonath comes into view, and then...wow! A sweeping and epic brass version of History of the Ring as the Fellowship passes beneath the image of Isildur. The rise and fall of history - of empire - is right there in musical form, as if massive ocean swells were washing over us. We, the audience, are not really given the choice of ignoring the music...it is frontal and commands us to know that the story here is not just in words and images.
