Classic FM is the Lord of the Rings soundtrack station and now's your chance to hear Howard Shore's fantastic new soundtrack for The Two Towers before anyone else!
What a year it's been for composer Howard Shore - he received his first Oscar for his soundtrack to The Lord of the Rings - The Fellowship of the Ring. Then the score was voted Classic FM listeners' All-time Favourite Movie Score. Then it was voted Soundtrack of the Year at the World Soundtrack Awards in Belgium last month.
All this autumn, Howard Shore has been in the UK recording the new Lord of the Rings soundtrack - The Two Towers.
And now you can hear be the first to hear it on Classic FM. All this week, exclusive previews of The Two Towers will be heard on Henry Kelly's School Run at 0810GMT in the morning, and on Classic FM at the Movies with Simon Bates at 1720GMT.

Man oh man, I just listened to Forth Eorlingas and am now one big goosebump. That moment at about 2:15 when the singer comes in is just sublime. I can picture Theoden leading the charge at Helm's Deep. Do I really have to wait 35 days?!?

Here's another track from The Two Towers Soundtrack!
Beautiful and very moving piece....
Evenstar.

Actually, despite the name of the mp3, I'm not sure if this is Evenstar or Gollum's Song.
Be sure to check out the station live sometime after 12:20pm Eastern today to hear another track!

I've been listening to these two tracks for the past 20 minutes. IMO Howard Shore's score for The Ride of the Rohorrim battle in Return of the King will be awesome. That scene is in my head and I can see how the Rohorrim themes in these two MP3's can be used to titanic effect for it.

I agree, it's going to be fantastic. Just throw your mind back to the epic opening track on the Fellowship soundtrack, and imagine the scope and depth and feeling that will be conjured again in Return Of The King.
I am awaiting 'The White Rider' to be uploaded. It might happen in a few minutes, it might happen in a day, but it's on the way.
I'm really looking forward to hearing 'Isengard Unleashed' from this soundtrack too.

By the way, have you heard this track yet? It's either Gollum's Song or Evenstar, there's some debate about it.
Here.
To: maquiladora
Sounds like Evenstar. It's boring. Gollum would have some discordance in it.

Thank you. I suspect this information is old news to most of y'all; but we newcomers (read: my 12 year-old twins) appreciate your bringing us up to speed.

Brand new track early this morning, I haven't heard it yet but I have a link, seemingly some people who have heard this say it's the best weve heard yet.
I have to say, The Riders Of Rohan is growing on me with every listen. Powerful stuff. I wonder what this is like...
The Hornburg
