(2:48) The
first, lively part of this track plays as Pippin and Merry ‘join up’
with Frodo and Sam in the cornfield.
Then the mood becomes more ominous and dangerous as the Black Rider
finds them and begins chasing them.
|
|
0:00 |
– |
Two strong
notes and musical intro. Pippin then
Merry plow into Frodo and Sam in the corn field. |
|
0:07 |
– |
A whistle plays the
Rural Setting of the Shire/Hobbit Theme .
(DA does not list this as an instance of the Rural Setting. But it
sounds, melodically, like the example he provides earlier in the
score.) Merry and Pippin are
surprised to see Frodo and Sam but Farmer Maggot is chasing them, so
they push Frodo into the corn and continue running. |
|
0:16 |
– |
Frenetic,
sawing strings play under higher, more staccato strings. |
|
0:23 |
– |
The music picks up in tempo as Sam follows them and
they all race through the corn. |
|
0:41 |
– |
Brasses signal danger as the Hobbits teeter on the
edge of an embankment then fall rolling, down the hill... |
|
0:50 |
– |
One last ‘oomp’ of the horns as the Hobbits land at
the bottom. |
|
0:53 |
– |
Quiet for a moment then two drawn, spooky notes. As
the others pick mushrooms, Frodo looks around uneasily. |
|
1:00 |
– |
Two higher pitched spooky notes as Frodo suggests,
"I think we should get off the road" (ignored by the 'shroom
hunters). |
|
|
1:05 |
– |
Jump ahead in action to night. The
' Descending
Third' Theme is played and a
choir begins chanting as a Black Rider is seen through the trees. It
screams. (This music continues longer on the soundtrack than in the
movie.) |
|
1:06 |
– |
Nêbâbîtham nêpâm nêd |
|
1:28 |
– |
The choir breaks off and the music changes into
the Mordor Skip-Beat played by brass.
|
|
1:36 |
– |
A strong beat signals the intro to the
Ringwraiths' Theme
played in brass with a choir joining in on the first phrase. The
Hobbits make a run for Bucklebury Ferry and are chased through the
woods by the Black Rider. |
|
1:40 |
– |
A quick phrase is sung by the choir. |
|
1:40 |

Bârî 'n Katharâd |
|
2:01 |

The choir joins in again as the Hobbits board the
ferry with Frodo lagging behind. |

2:22 |

The choir crescendos as Frodo jumps to the Ferry
from the bank. |
|
2:26 |
– |
The music quiets to a pulsing ‘run’ of notes. The
Ringwraith looks at the Hobbits |
|
2:31 |
– |
... then spins and rides off down the path, joined
by two more as we hear a quick phrase of the
'Threat of Mordor' motif. |

"Katharâd"
is pronounced very fast, only "âd" is long at the end of
the word - it is the same rhythm as the trumpets. "Dâur"
is pronounced as short and then long note, with drum
beats underneath - "dâ" on the first beat, "ur" on the
second and lasting to the fourth, "ad" is on the fifth
beat and held long. D. Legin |
