Éowyn, in her Dernhelm disguise, comes beneath one Mûmak and slices its legs, toppling it to the ground, but the impact shakes both her and Merry loose from their horse. Now at a better vantage point, she sees Théoden surrounded by Orcs and rushes to his aid. The music both rumbles and twitters with the battle’s opposing forces, but an increasing dissonance and reliance on secundal harmonies suggests a more nefarious approach.
Théoden espies Éowyn, recognizing, in a momentary bewilderment, his niece in battle. But war holds no space for family, and so he fights on, slicing through the decreasing crowd of Orcs. Merry soaks his blade in the blood of the Haradrim while Éowyn, slices at Gothmog’s one good leg.
More close-spaced harmonies sound. A quick-paced reading of the Mordor Outline shudders through the timpani—the Witch-king exits the upper tiers of Minas Tirith and descends upon the Pelennor.
