Here again, Shore presents bits of the still-forming Fellowship theme. "When Gandalf rides we hear a dark take on the Fellowship
theme—he's off on his own now. The hobbits have the cozy Fellowship, but he has this darkness because he's going into Isengard,
and he knows there's serious business ahead."
Gandalf is met at the feet of Orthanc by a most undesirable
host—the Threat of Mordor motive. Saruman has
fallen under the shadow of Mordor. The orchestra sinks
into its depths, painting the revelation in the duskiest
instrumental tones available.
Saruman attacks Gandalf and the mixed chorus erupts
with a portentous choral line. "It's Black Speech," Shore
comments. "Certain sections just felt right for chorus—it
was part of the palette. I had a 100-piece orchestra and
100 singers." Gandalf is flung atop the tower and the music
concludes with timpani pounding out the first use of the
Mordor Outline.
