Foundations of Stone (soundtrack)

This article is about the film soundtrack. For the uttermost foundations of stone, see Mar-talmar.

Foundations of Stone is the first track of the Original Motion Picture Soundtrack of The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, composed by Howard Shore.

It plays while Gandalf and Durin's Bane, having fallen from the Bridge of Khazad-dûm, duel in the air as they descend down the enormous chasm. The music is particularly similar to that of the track "The Bridge of Khazad-dûm" from the first film.
