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.
