Strings play a lively melody with an
occasional counterpoint of brass as Gandalf makes his way to the
Edoras stables with Pippin and Merry. Pippin is leaving with
Gandalf. |
|
0:09 |
|
Merry chastises Pippin for 'looking' (into the
Palantνr). The music slows to a pause as Pippin apologizes. |
|
|
|
|
(Merry tries to get Pippin to
understand the seriousness of the situation as they enter the
stables and Gandalf puts Pippin on Shadowfax. None of this
music is on the CD.) |

Merry gives Pippin the last of the Longbottom
leaf as a clarinet flirts around with the
Shire theme. |
|

|
A note is held... "But we'll see each other
soon?" Pippin is getting worried. Merry looks at Gandalf
but neither answer him. |
|

|
Strings flirt around with the
Fellowship theme as Gandalf mounts and Pippin asks
once more for reassurance that he and Merry will see each other
again. Merry can't give it. The strings pick up the pace of
the melody until ... |
|
0:47 |
|
...they strike up an expectant beat as Gandalf tells
Shadowfax to show the meaning of haste. Pippin fully gets it!
"Merry!" he cries... |
|
0:50 |
|
...and Shadowfax takes off as a lush waltz
version of the
White Rider (in the
Fellowship) theme begins. |
|
0:59 |
|
Merry scrambles up the guard tower to catch a
last glimpse at Pippin... |
|
1:02 |
|
...and Aragorn runs after him.

|
The lush strings of the
White Rider (in the
Fellowship) theme give way
to single horn playing the
Fellowship Theme.
Merry is at the top of the tower and Aragorn stands by him as they
watch Gandalf and Pippin ride away. Merry reminisces about his
escapades with Pippin... |
|
1:25 |
|
...and realizes he has lost all his Hobbit
friends. This section has those three up and down pitches that
White Rider (in the
Fellowship) theme and
Fellowship theme share...
in the rhythm/cadence of the
White Rider
theme |
|
|
|
|
(The theatrical edition scene ends
with Aragorn and Merry looking out but not speaking and the music
ends at the 1:16 point on the CD with a sustained note. All
of the music from 1:16 to the end is not in the theatrical edition but it is in
the extended edition with the extended scene.)
