The bass drum strokes underpinning the first appearance of the Seduction of the Ring each coincide with a shot of Frodo's vest
pocket, boring a palpable sense of danger into an otherwise innocuous image. These echoing impacts—marked in Shore's score as
"low, distant disturbance"—underpin the first hummed setting of the Seduction of the Ring. (Here again, the One Ring struggles
to articulate its seductive message to the less corruptible hobbits.)
After the first use of the Journey There, Shore presents material from two of the story's most significant themes. Reluctantly, Sam
steps through a Shire cornfield and remarks that he's never before been this far away from his home. "You're hearing a little bit of
the piece from the end," remarks the composer. "It's the Hymn Setting, or 'In Dreams,' and it's the first time you hear it." Immediately
following, Shore's music suggests that the Fellowship of the Ring has begun to form. Cor anglais and French horn announce
a brave, but humble take on the material. "This is the first time you hear it because it's the two of them setting out together," the
essence of Fellowship.
@PolishPixie Howard Shore is scoring the Hobbit, it's been confirmed.
