I remember in one interview with Peter Jackson, he allowed for the possibility that it would the flagship song for the third film. I'm not sure how true that thought was, but it must have been before Annie Lennox's involvement. Still, if we're lucky it may appear yet in ROTK:EE. I find it hard to believe there are no Arwen scenes for practically two and a half hours of the finished film... <BLOCKQUOTE><font size=1 face=arial>quote:</font><HR size=1> Shore was often writing--especially in the case of ROTK--as the film was being edited, but instead of hacking and slashing the recordings, if something changed, he'd go back and write new music. That's part of the reason these films included three months of nearly non-stop recording sessions, as opposed to the week or so usually afforded. [/B]<HR size=1></BLOCKQUOTE> Do you know if Shore wrote music for the unused sequence where Arwen and Elrond travel to Rivendell for a Second Council of Elrond. This sequence would also have featured Arwen looking into the mirror and seeing a vision of Aragorn in danger at Helm's Deep. I think a segment of footage from it, where the camera tracks down to Arwen in a red dress lying on a sofa, appears to make it into the ROTK in Aragorn's dream.[/B]<HR size=1></BLOCKQUOTE> The scene for which Arwen's Song was written is in ROTK, but the scene did not ultimately use the song. (There's a long and involved explanation, but in the bald faced interest of self promotion, I'll just say read the January issue of Film Score Monthly.) Don't know about the other scene you mention. -Doug
