The Passage of the Marshes
This song is as close as the entire score
gets to being a scary track. The viewer is alerted to this
nasty bog, and then is introduced to the Marshes as being the
Dead Marshes. The intimidating view of the dead faces in the
water is a sight to behold.
It becomes even more frightening when Frodo
falls in the water. Time seems to stop as he slowly sinks to
the bottom. Finally, Smeagol pulls him from the water with a
stiff warning to not follow the lights. Frodo appears quite
grateful to Smeagol after this episode, and rightfully so. The
dark tone of this track is quite different from other songs on
this CD. It manages to keep a dark tone very quiet. Most of
Shore's dark music is very loud and overwelming.
