Helm's Deep
This song is absolutely spectacular. It
hightlights the battle between the Men of Rohan and the wog
riders of Saruman. The glorious battle song resounds in the
background as the warriors advance on horseback towards the
enemy.
It also displays Helm's Deep as a grand
fortress - capable of withholding any attack. Indeed, Theoden
states that no enemy has ever breached the Deeping Wall. This
place will be the location of the great battle at the end of
this film.
This song also displays the apparent fall of
Aragorn. Although this isn't in the books, Aragorn is shown as
falling off a cliff. The Men leave him for dead. Fortunately,
Aragorn is saved by his horse and by Arwen. He is then able to
see the Uruks marching and is able to give a little bit of
forewarning to his companions.
