Magpie writes: The track titles at Amazon.de for the CR-ROTK are now listed. At this moment, I can’t find track titles at any other site (Barnes & Noble, Soundtrack.net, or Moviemusic.com). I don’t doubt these are right, but some lines are cut off an there’s probably at least one typo. I will extrapolate or comment on the list below.1. Roots And Beginnings
2. Journey To The Cross-roads
3. The Road To Isengard
4. The Foot Of Orthanc
5. Return To Edoras
6. The Chalice Passed
7. The Green Dragon [Featuring Billy Boyd]

38. Shieldmaiden Of Rohan
39. The Passing Of Théoden
40. The Houses Of Healing [Featuring Liv Tyler]
41. The Tower Of Cirith Ungol
42. The Last Debate [Featuring Sissel] (this is probably Sissel’s Song from the ROTK EE Fan Credits restored for some previously intended scene. I’m not sure, at the moment, what scene this would be.)
43. The Land Of Shadow
44. The Mouth Of Sauron [Featuring Sir James Galway]
45. For Frodo [Featuring Ben Del Maestro]
46. Mount Doom [Featuring Renée Flemin g]
47. The Crack Of Doom
48. The Eagles [Featuring Renée Fleming]
49. The Fellowship Reunited [Featuring ??] (This must be a long track to include all that happens between the Eagles and the Grey Havens. I’m guessing the list would include James Galway, Renée Fleming, and Viggo Mortensen are in this track but there may be more.)
50. The Journey To The Grey Havens
51. Elanor [Featuring Sir James Galway ] (I have no idea what this is.)
52. Days Of The Ring [Featuring Annie Lennox] (but I don’t know if this contains Into the West or if Into the West would be in track 50 and this is something else. I could contain the song Use Well the Days. The track title might be a typo for “Days of the King”.)
53. Bilbos Song – (This is the final song heard on the ROTK EE Fan Credits. It is an Elvish translation of “I sit beside the fire and think” and is sung by a boy’s choir. It is exquisitely, almost painfully beautiful and was written just for this spot by Howard Shore as a thank you and goodbye to the fans.)

Long time TORn friends Emerald Rose have announced the upcoming release of their newest cd ‘Con Suite’ just in time for DragonCon! Stepping back from their Celtic roots, the group has prepared a genre-busting set of light-hearted tunes that cover subjects from Harry Potter to Star Trek to Dungeons and Dragons. ‘Chocolate Frog’, a happy ditty about a Potter wannabee, is available for free listens and downloads here.

Fans can find a trio of videos, including the ‘Never Split the Party’ brickfilm (Lego’s characters) by Larry Morris, which is causing a stir on YouTube.com, here. Tolkien fans will find a few characters and situations in the video that they recognize! Emerald Rose will be performing songs from the new cd at their concerts at DragonCon.
