Brunz_2016 a Yeah but this quote from Farimir when his father basically told him he didn't love him or care and wished he had died and Borimir had lived, and went on a suicide mission to retake osgiliath and nearly died.
'Let the armies of Mordor know this! Never again will the lands of my people fall into enemy hands! The city of Osgiliath has been reclaimed.... FOR GONDOR!'
"Where does my allegiance lie if not here? "This is the city of the Men of Númenor. I will gladly give my life to defend her beauty, her memory, her wisdom." - Faramir
Have you ever been called home by the sound of silver trumpets? Have you ever seen the Tower of the Guard, whose white peak is seen from afar like a silver star in the sky? The White tree blossoming in the Court of Kings, the Citadel? One day our paths will lead us there, and the guards will shout up the call; "The Lords of Gondor have returned!" Minas Tirith, the City of Kings!
Rohan's theme is heroic and yet tragic. With little hope of surviving Mordor's and Isengard's brutality, they still ride into war, determined to sacrifice their lives for the freedom of their people. What they lack of wisdom and rich history like Gondor, they make up with bravery and truthfulness. Gondor's theme radiates wisdom, nobility, greatness, and rich history. After all, it's the legacy of the Numenorians who survived the destruction of their old kingdom. Their past is full of glory and shame, greatness and downfall. Who else could leave such a mark in history in good and bad?
@@spaceinvador11More of a movie thing. Book wise, Rohan shows up and does a majestic charge. They eventually get stuck when momentum fades. Gondor then cuts their way through the gates to Rohan. Both get stuck once momentum is lost and the "corsairs" appear. Then Aragorn shows up with Gondor's southern armies and the team all gang up to cut down Mordor with no ghost bs.
I would say masterpiece is an understatement for the caliber the movies and the story is. It is simply Godlike. Nothing in history is more ingenious and I don't anything ever will surpass it. I cannot express enough how blessed I feel being born in this era, lucky enough to witness it.
"Here was one with an air of high nobility such as Aragorn at times revealed, less high perhaps, yet also less incalculable and remote: one of the Kings of Men born into a later time, but touched with the wisdom and sadness of the Eldar Race. He knew now why Beregond spoke his name with love. He was a captain that men would follow, that he would follow, even under the shadow of the black wings." -Peregrin Took's thoughts after seeing Faramir for the first time
I really hope to see a more accurate portrayal of book Faramir on screen someday, especially since of all Tolkien's characters Faramir was the most like him. I like movie Faramir, but he can't truly be described by that quote (or any other about book Faramir).
@@duskflower8825 the Faramir in the movies did not represent the wisdom and the gravity of the true Faramir, his Numenorian blood as well as it happened for Denethor. Faramir is my favorite character of all, by the way.
"This city was once jewel of our kingdom. A place of light, beauty and music. And so it shall be once more! Let the army of mordor know this. Never again! a land of my people fall into enemy's hand. A city of Osgiliath has been reclaimed FOR GONDOR! FOR GONDOR! FOR GONDOR!" -Boromir
Nah. Sauron, you had your chance and you lost to two halflings, one of which was seriously snubbed an Oscar for Best "Supporting" Actor. Come on Academy, Sean Astin deserved the nomination and win.
I like how this tells the story of Gondor through music. It starts slow and faint, but echos it’s strength. But as it goes it gets weaker and weaker, reaching its lowest during the piece titled “The Sacrifice of Faramir”. But it is soon after that the lighting of the beacons piece begins and it’s strength swells as it’s strength is reinstated.
@@icebearc4859 The Gondor theme doesn't hit the same heroic tone of the Rohan theme but it's not meant to. The Gondor theme is supposed to grand and stately and a little sombre. They're equally amazing but in different ways.
Remember from the Fellowship of the Ring when Boromir talks to Aragorn (I think) how Gondor will rise again after all the despair. It starts at 00:00, and it's the first time you hear that epic and glorious tune for Gondor. Gondor - the heart of mankind itself. I'm so thrilled to live to hear this masterpiece and drift away in my own thoughts
Ambarenya13 Tolkien drew his influence for Gondor from the Goths and Lombards within Byzantium (the Wulfila Bible is a good example of the influence) rather than the Byzantine Empire as a whole.
I'm at a point right now where, despite there being nothing going for me and there being no reason for me to carry on striving and giving it my all, I'm still making myself get back on my feet and push forward, even as it gets worse. And without an iota of exaggeration, I feel like this theme was made just for me. The courage of men, ey?
God Dammit... Why did Boromir have to die? My favorite character of all time. Captain of the White Tower, Son, and Steward of Gondor. A soldier of Chivalry and Valor. Gone... God Dammit...
To me, this song not only represents Gondor, but a higher story. Someone once regarded as shame, brought to a ashamed fraction of who they once were. Who hit rock bottom. But they get one chance. They start coming back, soaring back to the top, higher and higher until they are back! They have returned! And as they triumph, a terrible tragedy emerges. And theu must go and avenge. And the song, the story ends with a mighty, yet humble conclusion.
6:25 description of Minas Tirith “And upon its out-thrust knee was the Guarded City, with its seven walls of stone so strong and old that it seemed to have been not builded but carved by giants out of the bones of the Earth.”
Sons of Gondor! Of Rohan! My brothers. I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me. A day may come when the courage of Men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day. An hour of wolves and shattered shields when the Age of Men comes crashing down, but it is not this day! This day we fight! By all that you hold dear on this good earth, I bid you stand, Men of the West!

The Gondorian theme is so majestic and strong willed. Yet it's also somber and feels almost hollow in some parts. I think this theme (just like all of the others) fits so well in portraying the background and nature of Gondor as a whole. I love this so much
I listened to this on repeat after my cousin died idk why but it made me fee a lot better. “You are soldiers of Gondor... no matter what comes through that door you will stand your ground!”
Man, 5:59 with the start of the RoTK trailer music, I get all nostalgic for when we had three years in a row of awesome LoTR trailers and movies to look forward to. So glad they released them annually, as it kept the excitement and momentum going.
This city, was once the jewel of our kingdom. A place of light and beauty and music, and so it shall be once more. Let the armies of Mordor know this; never again will the land of my people fall into enemy hands. The city of Osgiliath has been reclaimed for GONDOR!
How powerful music can be can be stated when simply the theme playing can bring you to tears. No matter how many years go by since I watched this absolutely incredible trilogy, it will forever remain, my favourite film trilogy of all time.
Obviously. It is easily rewatchable over time. Although some would say Harry Potter is great, one must not tell lies. The LotR trilogy from Peter Jackson will never be topped
@@LazyOldFusspot_3428 we wouldn't have game of thrones or harry potter if it werent for lord of the rings. george rr martin has gone on record of saying how influential tolkien was on him and there are blatant things jk rowling just reused as well
This tune has a nice complex and twisted touch to it, just like the buildings of Minas Tirith towering through the clouds in divine beauty. I wish I lived in Middle Earth right through from the years of the trees to the Fourth age.
The Gondor Theme is so incredible because it fits the feel that this is a very royal kingdom that has been in decline for many years while at the same time feels like there is still hope that it can reclaim its former glory. I love it!
I remember watching the Extended Edition Additional Features and them going over Howard Shore's use of Gondor's theme in every part of when you see the people and it was the first time I'd ever really noticed a full and perfect use of the leit motif in music for film. That tremulous horn while Boromir is talking about his people to the ever increasing levels of grandeur as Gandalf charges up the many layers of the city to meet Denethor. Oh god that was amazing.
Read this from 0:00 to 0:50: "The Men of Númenor were strong, tall and proud. They did not fear the Dark Lord and built their shining city of Minas Anor in full view of the Land of Shadow, as if to challenge Sauron to come forth and take it, if he dared. For over a thousand years, it stood guard against the Enemy and ever he watched it from his dark throne, yet he dared not test the might of Gondor, not until the time was right." (Not mine, credits to @Robert Brown, 7 years ago).
Anyone else get those goosebumps down their spines, or do I just have to take a shit? I love LoTR because of the setting and I loved the books. One of my favorite series growing up.
In the movies Gondor was just that realm we all knew was great, and what was supposed to be the "knights in shining armour" type of guys, but they were just losing really badly and this theme perfectly describes that.
+Yahbozo12 Well that is true but once Aragorn lead all of the men against the black army of mordor not (trying to racist) defeated them only if the men realized it sooner would there have been peace.
Howard Shore is a genius. Don't get me wrong - John Williams is the most successful composer and ingenious (I love the Star Wars and Harry Potter themes), too, as well as some others. But what Howard Shore created for the Lord of the Rings is an absolute masterpiece and he definitly earned the two oscars he gained for it. The "Lord of the Rings"-movies are masterpieces from every point of view and the music really matches that standard and also fits perfectly to the scenes. I love the part beginning at 4:19 ...
How many hear the themes of Gondor & Rohan, and our hearts stir with memories of some long-forgotten nobility, bravery, and selflessness, hidden... buried deeply now? How many listen to the music of Lothlorien & Rivendell, of Elbereth & of Arwen, or have read the Lay's of Beren & Luthien, or Eärendil and Elwing, and our spirits are once again given to love, beauty, and our esoteric nature? The simplicity of the themes of Hobbits, and we are reminded of our oneness with ALL of nature, simplicity, and of friendship and the deep bonds of trust some would have us believe are no longer capable in the thought of Mankind? These are NOT just the things of fantasy! They are our birthright. Who now doubts the old ways of the world are dying, and a new age of Man is upon us? We of us, who are not too old or too jaded so as to believe could exist ANYTHING greater or more worthy than ourselves have now a great opportunity, to shape & give form to the world WE believe to be worthy of our inheritance! We are noble, and as soon as the symbol appears, we will see just how strong OUR will's are. Be yourselves Kingly! We are Stewards of ALL life and innocence, and with every individual act of compassion and courage, we will be led past this world of fear, war, doubt, corruption, loneliness and greed. Do you not yet know? This is the time of our own trial... Look at the world, it has already begun to happen... And you have NEVER been alone...
From the ashes, a fire shall be woken. A light from the shadow shall spring. Renewed shall be blade that was broken. The crownless again shall be king.

The first time we hear this music is when Boromir speaks at Elrond's council. It is the only time we hear it in the Fellowship of The Ring.

Howard Shore is a genius. The emotions that his compositions bring out in all of us are our tribute to him.
Man, 5:59 with the start of the RoTK trailer music, I get all nostalgic for when we had three years in a row of awesome LoTR trailers and movies to look forward to. So glad they released them annually, as it kept the excitement and momentum going.
"This is no mere ranger, he is Aragorn...son of Arathorn. You owe him your allegiance"
FOR GONDOR!! The kingdom of the men of Numenor!
This city, was once the jewel of our kingdom. A place of light and beauty and music, and so it shall be once more. Let the armies of Mordor know this; never again will the land of my people fall into enemy hands. The city of Osgiliath has been reclaimed for GONDOR!
How powerful music can be can be stated when simply the theme playing can bring you to tears. No matter how many years go by since I watched this absolutely incredible trilogy, it will forever remain, my favourite film trilogy of all time.
Holy... This is is timeless. I wanna ride throught the field and listen it!
This is why Lord of the Rings remains timeless whereas Game of Thrones has not.
Obviously. It is easily rewatchable over time. Although some would say Harry Potter is great, one must not tell lies. The LotR trilogy from Peter Jackson will never be topped
Game of thrones had an incredible soundtrack too imo. Ramin Djawadi was trained by Hans Zimmer!
@@LazyOldFusspot_3428 we wouldn't have game of thrones or harry potter if it werent for lord of the rings. george rr martin has gone on record of saying how influential tolkien was on him and there are blatant things jk rowling just reused as well
game of thrones has an amazing soundtrack however the new lotr show appears to have nothing remarkable
@@LazyOldFusspot_3428 I see what you did there
This tune has a nice complex and twisted touch to it, just like the buildings of Minas Tirith towering through the clouds in divine beauty. I wish I lived in Middle Earth right through from the years of the trees to the Fourth age.
The beginning of the song just brings tears to my eyes. Long live the king of Gondor.
The city of Osgiliath has been reclaimed... FOR GONDOR
FOR GONDOR
FOR GOONNNDOOOORRRRR!!!!
Good speech, nice and short
@@ericmonaco4509 leaves more time for Drinking
FOR THE REPUBLIC
FOR GONDOR!!!!
FOR GONDOR!!!!!
I like to think about the people who made these movies and how much effort the crew put in to make this trilogy masterpiece (1996-2003).
The Gondor Theme is so incredible because it fits the feel that this is a very royal kingdom that has been in decline for many years while at the same time feels like there is still hope that it can reclaim its former glory. I love it!
"Where was Gondor when-" "Holding off the unstoppable armies of Sauron for the past era"
-Oh yeah...
I remember watching the Extended Edition Additional Features and them going over Howard Shore's use of Gondor's theme in every part of when you see the people and it was the first time I'd ever really noticed a full and perfect use of the leit motif in music for film. That tremulous horn while Boromir is talking about his people to the ever increasing levels of grandeur as Gandalf charges up the many layers of the city to meet Denethor.
Oh god that was amazing.
Read this from 0:00 to 0:50: "The Men of Númenor were strong, tall and proud. They did not fear the Dark Lord and built their shining city of Minas Anor in full view of the Land of Shadow, as if to challenge Sauron to come forth and take it, if he dared. For over a thousand years, it stood guard against the Enemy and ever he watched it from his dark throne, yet he dared not test the might of Gondor, not until the time was right." (Not mine, credits to @Robert Brown, 7 years ago).
How can someone dislike this
Orcs
Soma h Lol best response
Trailers 1 i think those were some orcs :D
+Trailers 1 sauron
It was those damn elves, never giving a damn about men
Anyone else get those goosebumps down their spines, or do I just have to take a shit?
I love LoTR because of the setting and I loved the books. One of my favorite series growing up.
In the movies Gondor was just that realm we all knew was great, and what was supposed to be the "knights in shining armour" type of guys, but they were just losing really badly and this theme perfectly describes that.
+Yahbozo12 Well that is true but once Aragorn lead all of the men against the black army of mordor not (trying to racist) defeated them only if the men realized it sooner would there have been peace.
Not sure about the movies, but Tolkien would love the soundtrack Howard Shore composed!
If he hadnt then he wouldnt understand what genius of adaptations are
I think he’d like the movies better than Ralph bakshi one. That was shocking. PJ did justice to the books and the spirit behind the books imho
True
I believe he would
Howard Shore is a genius. Don't get me wrong - John Williams is the most successful composer and ingenious (I love the Star Wars and Harry Potter themes), too, as well as some others.
But what Howard Shore created for the Lord of the Rings is an absolute masterpiece and he definitly earned the two oscars he gained for it. The "Lord of the Rings"-movies are masterpieces from every point of view and the music really matches that standard and also fits perfectly to the scenes.
I love the part beginning at 4:19 ...
Williams also "borrows" heavy from Bach and Warner, I believe
@@jeffersonjjohnson And Gustav Holst, he got sued by the Holst Foundation for the imperial march I believe.
2:10 "Since you were robbed of Boromir, i will do what i can in his stead. If i shall return, think better of me father"
-Faramir
'It depends on how you comeback'
Denethor
"That would depend on the matter of your return"!
-Denethor
" They will look for him from the white tower...But he will not return. From mountain or from sea..."
The best theme for the best fantastic city.
Your love of the Halflings' leaf has clearly slowed your mind.
;)
It's just some old Toby, the finest there is! (If I remembered that right)
The trumpet playing the melody in the beginning will always give me goosebumps!
its incredible how much i didn't notice LOT soundtrack influences in the OST of skyrim
When the strings cut out to make way for the low brass...gives me chills
How many hear the themes of Gondor & Rohan, and our hearts stir with memories of some long-forgotten nobility, bravery, and selflessness, hidden... buried deeply now? How many listen to the music of Lothlorien & Rivendell, of Elbereth & of Arwen, or have read the Lay's of Beren & Luthien, or Eärendil and Elwing, and our spirits are once again given to love, beauty, and our esoteric nature? The simplicity of the themes of Hobbits, and we are reminded of our oneness with ALL of nature, simplicity, and of friendship and the deep bonds of trust some would have us believe are no longer capable in the thought of Mankind?
These are NOT just the things of fantasy! They are our birthright.
Who now doubts the old ways of the world are dying, and a new age of Man is upon us?
We of us, who are not too old or too jaded so as to believe could exist ANYTHING greater or more worthy than ourselves have now a great opportunity, to shape & give form to the world WE believe to be worthy of our inheritance!
We are noble, and as soon as the symbol appears, we will see just how strong OUR will's are.
Be yourselves Kingly! We are Stewards of ALL life and innocence, and with every individual act of compassion and courage, we will be led past this world of fear, war, doubt, corruption, loneliness and greed.
Do you not yet know? This is the time of our own trial... Look at the world, it has already begun to happen... And you have NEVER been alone...
I listened to this in Walmart and I felt like I could take everyone in the store at once lol
7:22 THE MOST EPIC PART

"Out of the Great Sea to Middle-earth I am come. In this place will I abide, and my heirs, unto the ending of the world." -Elendil
Imagine living on the top floor and forget something at home
From the ashes, a fire shall be woken. A light from the shadow shall spring. Renewed shall be blade that was broken. The crownless again shall be king.
"Where does my allegiance lie if not here"
The music is just phenomenal!!
It's interesting how the music goes from low to high with Aragorn's return as king.
2:05 GOOSEBUMBS with those DRUMS
