Two Towers Soundtrack...

ArkturusMaximus · 12-11-2002, 06:44 PM

ok i picked this up yesterday, mainly for the music from the last half of the theatrical trailer. Problem is I didnt hear it on the soundtrack.

Has anyone else listened to it yet? Am i missing it or is it really missing? Scenes in the trailer but not in the moive i can live with, but I want that music!

It's Clint Mansell and the Kronos Quartet. Lux Aeterna if you want to be more specific. It's also on the Requiem for a Dream Soundtrack. Hope that helps.

Check out Philip Glass and Steve Reich also, great music.

EDIT: Misspelled Aeterna.

Just got The Two Towers Soundtrack version of Lux Aeterna, and its nothing like "Hope Overture" off Requim for a Dream (more drums and choir). Highly recommend getting this version if you enjoy Kronos Quartet.

Music used in theatrical trailers does not necessarily appear in the actual film, and rarely on the soundtrack. More often than not, it's just stock music the studio owns the rights to, which it uses to promote its films in previews.

In the case of The Two Towers, the trailer music is mostly done by the Kronos Quartet (as has been mentioned).

yeah i knew that about trailer music, i mean how many times have they used the music from Stargate in trailers!

Check out gollum's song. It's sung by Emiliana Torrini, who's a goddess.

I found a 6 1/2 minute version of the full orchestral version from the TT trailer off of Kazaa....its tight.

There's usually a couple trailers a year that use music from The Last of The Mohicans, too.

Saw a "Gangs of New York" trailer the other night that was using Gettysburg music

Re: Gettysburg

Great Soundtrack.

Looking foreward to the prequal that is coming out, Gods and Generals. Haven't seen a 4+ hour movie in the theater since Gettysburg.

wasn't one of the songs from it, the one from the commercial also a song from requirem of a dream?

Then there was Orff. O Fortuna is still the most overused (albeit awesome) trailer music.

The actualy soundtrack wasn't created untill august and the trailer that had the kronos quartet came out with men in black 2?shrug. question about the trailer, there was some shots in the preview that did not appear in the film, i guess something for the extended version (scene in question has arwen running up some stairs while throwing her robe on the group while elrond is at his desk).

The movie hadn't had it's final cut yet when the trailer was put together, I'm sure.

Hell, if you go back and watch the first trailer for The Fellowship, here is one or two scenes from RotK in it.
