Bryan Atkinson never dissapoints with the trailer music - it always complements the visual and VO aspect of a trailer, as it should. :)
I really love the incorporation of Guild Wars 2's theme, which in a way is a theme of a player character aka us, the players.
at 0:34 the theme appears right after Frode asks us to help the Wizard, and when the theme melody starts playing we can see the beautiful landscapes that were hidden from us for a very long time. And the synth at 0:50 is just absolutely gorgeous...
The second time the theme appears is the best moment of this trailer in my opinion: right after Isgarren says: "you have no idea what waits on the other side..." the theme's melody still remains strong - gorgeous brass and strong percussion accents are like an answer of the Wayfinder: "I don't care! An epic journey awaits me!" :D
I also need to mention the incredible musical intro which instantly sets the ominous atmosphere of Obscure's secrets, which is reintroduced at 1:33 when Cerus appears - demonic chanting with gorgeous strings melody and percussion are all very fitting and epic.
As we hear Peitha's voice once again, another 4 notes of piano appear, which remind me of Fear not this night, specifically a line: "...not go astray..."
