| Comments: | The mighty city and capital of what remains of the realm of Gondor is described in the book as being built on seven ascending levels on a colossal promontory at the east end of the Anorien mountain range. The movement opens with a strident rising figure in unison on all instruments to represent the structure - a motif that is repeated throughout the piece. But unlike the ancient capital, Osgiliath - brought to ruin by the forces of Sauron - Gondor is a living city; a city preparing for war. A motif designating diverse activity is soon overtaken by a military march representing the mustering of troops for the forthcoming battle. The movement lends with a forceful and majestic restatement of the city theme in celebration of its victory over the enemy. |
