The beginning of the trailer for Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers features music from Howard Shore's score of the series.
At about 1:35, the music changes to a piece known as Requiem for a Tower.
The origin of the piece is the movie Requiem for a Dream. Any fan of that movie will recognize the piece, Lux Aeterna, written by Clint Mansell. The track was re-orchestrated with choir and full orchestra specifically for The Two Towers trailer. After considerable demands by fans, the piece was released by Corner Stone Cues on the album of the same name.
Clint Mansell has since released a version with the London Ensemble.
It was also used in the trailer for Babylon, A.D. and Sunshine.
