A Hobbit's
Understanding (till 0:52) |
|
|
|
0:54-1:12 |
Hymn Chords of
the Shire Theme play as Frodo stands on the banks of the Anduin and
recalls Gandalf's advice, "All you have to decide is what to do
with the time that is given to you. |

Then we hear
A Hobbit's
Understanding
while Frodo hesitates for awhile then launches the boat into the
Anduin. Sam calls after him but Frodo does not acknowledge him. |

The

ends as Sam plunges into the water. A calm melody is played by
strings as Sam wades in too deep loses his footing. |

Soft horns play a note and then strings
pick up a lush, dramatic version of
A Hobbit's
Understanding as Frodo's hand reaches
underwater and grabs Sam's wrist and Sam is pulled into the boat. |

The single whistle begins a
Hymn Setting of the
Shire A melody,
with humming voices in the background as Frodo embraces Sam. They
paddle away. |

Fade to
Boromir laid out in an Elven boat with his sword in his hands. A
hesitant, broken phrase is played (I sense that this is a
mournful Fellowship theme with only some notes played... to signify
the ‘breaking’ of the Fellowship?) Aragorn is strapping on
Boromir's vambraces. Boromir’s boat goes over the falls and Legolas
calls to Aragorn and Gimli to hurry after Frodo. |
2:45-3:22 |
2:41-3:04 |
|
3:00-4:03 |
At the moment when
a solo whistle plays the Shire Theme in the scene, the
credit music plays further soft variations of
A Hobbit's
Understanding. The variations of
A Hobbit's
Understanding get more broad and more intense until... |

|
4:03-4:45 |
they meld into a sparse,
short, slow and sober statement of the
Fellowship Theme.
The orchestra then seems to play around with the
Fellowship Theme,
barely quoting it in an almost funereal arrangement.

4:45-5:13 |
A phrase is
played that uses those three notes of the secondary
Shire B melody. Aragorn
will let Frodo go, but all is not lost if the Three stick
together. (This could be a variant of the Shire B or A
Hobbit's Understanding or maybe both are heard in there.
Doug Adams does not address it in the FOTR-Annotated Score.)

A
resurrected
Fellowship Theme plays as he
suggests they follow Merry and Pippin. "Let us hunt some Orc." |
3:53-4:11 |
3:34-3:53 |
|
5:13-5:48 |
The Three Hunters begin their pursuit
and Frodo and Sam climb up the hill to begin their journey.
"Sam, I'm
glad you are with me." This music is slightly longer on the
CR & OST than in the credit music. |
4:11-4:57 |
3:53-4:39 |
|
5:48-end |
The whistle picks up the
Pensive Setting of the
Shire A melody
as Frodo and Sam look at each other and set off down the rise. The
credit music resolves nicely while the scene music features a few
notes on the harp before moving into May It Be (movie, CR) or In
Dreams (OST). |
