Really like that Spock Theme variation in the Sulu video!

Watch it not make it to album.

It's on the album.

It's the most notable thing and is deserving of the CAPITAL LETTERS used in a previous post.  Had it been recorded at the original sessions, I would be getting worked up about it.

Also some unused bars put in an appearance, such as the contrapuntal treatment of all the ring themes at Mount Doom.  I would not suggest getting worked up over any of the missing material - it's pretty inconsequential.

Hopefully things will start moving and this thing will happen at Radio City - it would be a tragedy not to complete the trilogy there!

It's also worth noting that the live to projection performances of ROTK include cues that are not in any prior release of film or music (theatrical, extended, OST, CR).  Some were recorded at the original sessions, some were not.

 

Where are those?

In order:

The end of 'Journey to the Cross-roads' includes the usual stuff, but is synchronised differently

Legolas and Aragorn outside at Edoras at night (was recorded)

A little bit more music at Edoras before Gandalf mentions the 'Paths of the Dead'

Some additional bars in the middle of what was 'Twilight and Shadow' (some on the OST, not on the CR)

MASSIVE CHORUS as the Rohirrim leave Edoras (stunning, written for the original sessions but not recorded)

Some bits at the end of 'Shelob's Lair' - the live to projection version doesn't match the OST

There may be others - I will dig out my old notes!

It's also worth noting that the live to projection performances of ROTK include cues that are not in any prior release of film or music (theatrical, extended, OST, CR).  Some were recorded at the original sessions, some were not.

and a snipped out section of Shortcut to mushrooms with the Descending Third in a Brass "Fanfare" setting in the "Gandalf Rides To Isengard" Previs.
 

It's additional bars from the alternate that is (partially) on the OST.
