415,208 plays (56,338 listeners)
“Lux Aeterna” is a composition by Clint Mansell, the theme song and leitmotif of Requiem for a Dream, and the penultimate piece in the Requiem for a Dream score. The popularity of this piece led to its use in popular culture outside the film, mostly in film trailers.
A version of the track was re-orchestrated with a choir and full orchestra for The Lord of The Rings: The Two Towers 12 min trailer. [1] The piece, named “Requiem for a Tower”, was made exclusively for the trailer and was featured as Requiem for a Dream in the The Lord of the Rings film trilogy. It was arranged by Simone Benyacar, Dan Nielsen, and Veigar Margeirsson. Although never intended for release, after considerable demand by fans this piece was made available as part of the Requiem for a Tower album release from Corner Stone Cues.

I don't think the six minute version is on the OST (at least it's not on mine). It's most commonly known as 'Lux Aeterna (Full Orchestral Remix)' and was remixed and re-edited by Fatboy Roberts containing portions of the original soundtrack recordings of Requiem and orchestral re-recording for The Two Towers.

the 6 minute version sucks, too much overloaded and overproduced. the 3 mins is perfect in its blankness

The 6 minute version is a masterpiece, the 3 minute version is no way near.
