"Requiem for a Tower" is a version of Clint Mansell's Lux Æterna/Requiem For A Dream, re-orchestrated with a choir and full orchestra for a The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers theatrical trailer.[1] It was arranged by Simone Benyacar, Daniel Nielsen, and Veigar Margeirsson.
Although never intended for release, after considerable demand by fans the re-recording(s) were made available as part of the Requiem for a Tower album release from Corner Stone Cues,[2] a subsidiary catalogue of Howling Entertainment.[3] While the release was originally made physically,[4] production was discontinued indefinitely with increased digital sales of the album on major electronic music distributors iTunes[5] and Amazon MP3.[6]
The popularity of this piece led to its use in popular culture outside the film, most notably in film and teaser trailers.
