The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring CR - 03. Bag End

While Frodo reads beneath a shady tree, the whistle makes its first appearance, revealing the hobbits' serene internal life—a
quality upon which Middle-earth will soon rely. "The whistle seemed right. It had a nice peaceful sound to it, simple and not too
orchestral."
Gandalf 's cart pulls up the road as the grey Wizard gently sings to himself. Though Shore provides orchestral support with a few
glowing string chords, the melody comes from Fran Walsh, and the lyric, from J.R.R. Tolkien. As Gandalf and Frodo struggle to
suppress their smiles, Shore's jocund Hobbit Outline figure begins. "Here Frodo is giving a little history," says the composer, "so I
just paced it with the pizzicato Outline Figure."
Back in Bag End, Bilbo, in a moment of paranoid tension, believes he's lost his beloved magic ring. Shore drums obsessively
through building phrases of the Hobbit Skip Beat figure, but the trinket is found, and all is well in the Shire. The Outline and
Two-Step figures bumptiously usher Frodo and
Gandalf about town until the two reflect upon the
Wizard's return. "He's looking at Frodo leaving and
getting dreamy about it all, so you hear this bucolic
setting—a slower version of the Shire," says Shore.

GANDALFS HUMMING MAKES ME WARM AND FUZZY INSIDE

[2010Nsync]

Wow! Gandalf's voice really draws you in, doesn't it?! Howard Shore's music rules!

I love listening to this in the Summer, lying under my yard tree and smoking a nice pipe/cigarette.

"Alright, keep your secrets, but I know you're in on it."

"Goodness gracious me."

"Before you came along we Baggins' where well thought of."

"Indeed"

"Never had any adventures or did anything unexpected."

"If you're refering to the inccident with the dragon, I was barely involved ... all I did was give your uncle a little nudge out the door."

"Well, whatever you did you've officallybeen labeled a "Disturber of the peace" ..."

"Oh really ..."

*GLARE*

Movie = My childhood!

“Hobbits really are amazing creatures. You can learn all that there is to know about them in a month, and yet after a hundred years, they can still surprise you.”

― J.R.R. Tolkien

Am I the only one that is reminded of Winnie the Pooh when Gandalf hums??

[lionheartx14]

This music never gets old. I mean Ive been literally been listening to it for over a decade and it still makes me smile

[XGailoftheShaleX]

The road goes ever on and on,

Down from the door where it begun,

Now far ahead the road is gone

and I must follow if I can.

Pursuing it with eager feet

until it joins some larger way,

where many paths and errands meet,

And wither then? I cannot say. : D

"A wizard is never late, Frodo Baggins, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to."
