Musical theme Can't Post

Hi everyone!
Recently, I watched AUJ and I've noticed this before, but at the scene when the Eagles rescue Thorin and company, the musical score sounds similar to when Gandalf brings the Riders of the Rohirrim to Helm's Deep in the end of the TTT. Do you think that this theme is suppose to be a theme for Gandalf or a theme of rescue?




"Keen, heart-piercing was her song as the song of the lark that rises from the gates of night and pours its voice among the dying stars, seeing the sun behind the walls of the world; and the song of Lúthien released the bonds of winter, and the frozen waters spoke, and flowers sprang from the cold earth where her feet had passed."

I can see the similarities but it's definitely a rescue theme.

It's "Nature's Reclamation" the theme for nature in Middle-earth... [In reply to] Can't Post

Used for the Ents, the Eagles, or tracked, in the case of TTT, to replace some other music written for the scene. I guess it still kind of fits, with the Rohirrim becoming a "force of nature" and driving back the uruks, who were born of industry...

That's so weird! [In reply to] Can't Post

I just rewatched TTT last night, but failed to make that connection. I guess that gives me a great excuse to do some further research on the subject!

Thanks for the response! [In reply to] Can't Post

It's a curious top pick to discuss how the filmmakers used different aspects and then used a similar theme for those. Such as using the Nazgul's theme for Azog in the AUJ and Arwen's prayer for Tauriel healing Kili.




"Keen, heart-piercing was her song as the song of the lark that rises from the gates of night and pours its voice among the dying stars, seeing the sun behind the walls of the world; and the song of Lúthien released the bonds of winter, and the frozen waters spoke, and flowers sprang from the cold earth where her feet had passed."
