Thanks to Isilgol for the above info.

Also, Robert Bernocchi of Caltanet, a popular Italian Tolkien site, shared the following with us:

I don't know if you have noticed that the score in the second part of the trailer is the main theme of Requiem for a Dream soundtrack, composed by Clint Mansell and the Kronos Quartet. I'm pointing it out because many people who haven't seen the Darren Aronofsky movie can think that this is a new work by Howard Shore for TTT.

The server problems we experienced in September prevented our sharing Isilgol's list when we received it, but we still hear from fans about the music from time to time. We hope you all enjoy the list.
