The Realm of Gondor (in Decline) theme begins this composition with its only appearance in The Fellowship of the Ring. “I wanted to begin that theme right at that moment when Boromir talks about his father, Denethor Steward of Gondor.” “It took so long just to get all these gestures just perfect. Gandalf closes his eyes. It’s such a great moment, it had to be just right. It’s all gestures and eyes—so much of the movie is that. It’s big and epic, but so much of it is just eye movement and looks and turns.
