Lord of the rings: Return of the King Trailer

What is the Cool Music that is played on the Third Lord of the Rings Movie Trailer.

If you mean the sweeping music that starts when Aragorn begins his "Braveheart" stylee speech, it's apparently a variation of the "Theme of Gondor" that you can hear in parts of the FotR OST (sorry, can't remember which track, and I'm at work, so no way to check). So far, it's not been out in the form heard in the trailer, but everyone's hoping it's going to be on th RotK OST - though, from what I hear, it's another different version (in "Minas Tirith").

From http://www.soundtrack.net/features/article/?id=110 : 3. Minas Tirith (3:37) Featuring Ben Del Maestro Before I make a fool of myself by making up onscreen actions to correspond with this cue, I should state my opinion that "Minas Tirith" is probably a suite / tone poem comprised of moments from various points in the score (much like "The Riders of Rohan" was on Shore's CD for The Two Towers). The track begins with ominous low strings and faint rolling percussion, a texture that repeats several times over the course of the CD and evokes a tangible sense of imminent war. The music then begins what can only be described as a loping build to a triumphant reading of Shore's theme for the people of Gondor. We first heard this theme in Fellowship (the film, not the CD) at the Council of Elrond played on a solo horn. Hearing it fleshed out here, racing and pulsing, is a major highlight of the CD and a musical moment that is nothing short of breathtaking. (Trailer fans, this is indeed the motif heard at the end of the Return of the King preview, though in a different - and less suspect - arrangement.)
