Gandalf recounts his escape from Isengard over a hostile brass line that lightens, momentarily, to hint at Nature’s Reclamation before the chorus’ entrance. Gandalf leaps from the tower, landing on Gwaihir, the Windlord, ushering in a rousing fanfare style of writing that won’t be heard again until Rings’ second and third films. (c) The Annotated Score (The Music of The Lord of the Rings Films)
