I believe the full end credits piece consists of bits from
 
Wicked: For Good Suite
Bubbles And Rainbows (beginning)
All Around The Wicked Witch Of The East
Glinda's Speech
Bubbles And Rainbows (end)
And then possibly something from A Wicked Good Finale
 
So we do have pretty much everything that was in that.

It's going to be a bit janky like part 1, but this is the best order that can be achieved without editing.

Wicked: For Good Suite
 
There definitely are bits of unreleased score and song reprises - for example, there's a score cue in between Every Day More Wicked and Bubbles And Rainbows. There's a short reprise of March Of The Witch Hunters in the middle of Ride To See Elphie, and I remember a nice score version of Defying Gravity somewhere in the middle of For Good.
 
I don't particularly like the songs in For Good, so I'm happier listening to the score in isolation.

I was thinking, what if we banned Quintus for HERESY

In today's scoring business, he probably needs all the alcohol he can get his hands on.

So he can invest in a bigger vinyard

Pity that the beautiful Gondor Theme doesn't appears on the film...

No, and yes?
 
Houses of Healing has Arwen's Song edited to fit the EE scene, you can hear that a section was looped with the vocals dialed out.
 
The end then crossfades back into Merry finding Pippin
 
The CR track Grace of Undomiel has a rewrite for the Eldarion vision
 
The OST track Twilight and Shadow has an earlier version of that rewrite (with some stuff that was edited out/dropped/shortened)
 
The Rarities Archive has the original intended version of the Eldarion vision "Arwen's Song" (which ends with extra lyrics "time and tide will sweep all away" and is bookended with the choir melody as Arwen arrives in Rivendell)
 
The Last Debate includes Asea Aranion, which is the original version of the Houses of Healing (starting with the horns that go into that passionate string section, for Eomer's reaction to finding Eowyn on the battlefield)
 
There is also an alternate take of Merry finding Pippin on the battlefield in the fan club credits.
 
The Rarities Archive track "Gwenwin in inn" is a mockup of an early version for the Eldarion vision when it was still in TTT
 
TLDR:
 
Eldarion Vision:
 
Rarities:
Gwenwin (Mockup)
Arwen's Song (original version)
 
OST:
Twilight and Shadow (rewrite)
 
CR:
The Grace of Undomiel (film edit of rewrite, with further changes)
 
Eowyn Discovered/Houses of Healing:
 
CR:

The Last Debate/Asea Aranion (original)
The Houses of Healing (film edit)
 
Fan Credits:
 
Merry Finding Pippin

Howard Shore on The Game, FSM vol. 2 no. 8.

For what it's worth, he is mentioned in Doug's book:
"Early in the production of each of The Lord of the Rings films, Howard Shore composed preliminary sketches of his themes. These drafts were then mocked-up on the Synclavier (an elaborate sampler/synthesizer) by Greg Laporta. Oftentimes, these early sketches contained phrases and passages that did not survive to the themes' final forms." - The Music of The Lord of the Rings Films, p. 392
Also:
"The Evertone staff tends to the logistical details generated by any such creative endeavor. The composer's newest compositions are handed off to Greg Laporta, who creates electronic mock-ups of the pieces. These mock-ups will be used in Shore's weekly review sessions with Jackson, Walsh and Boyens - they allow the filmmakers to hear the composer's work before the recording sessions." - p. 362

He just keeps the pen moving.

How I understood it was this:
 
Instead of the standard way of "seeing" it in sections: Violins, Violas, Celli, Bass etc.
 
It was more: High, Mid, Low.
 
So you get a lot of stacking, for example: bassoons, basses, Celli and low brass all providing low end.
