A choir sings softly and slowly. (This intro is not in the movie and the movie doesn't
have the choir background and there is only sparse instrumentation.) |
|
0:16 |
– |
A solo voice, singing an
Evenstar
variant, soars over the choir which continues in the background. Arwen, who is making her way with other Rivendell Elves to the Grey
Havens, has just seen a small child run past. As her eyes
follow the child, a vision of a great hall appears in the forest. The child runs up into the hall and... |
|
0:32 |
– |
...into the arms of Aragorn. The two
look very happy and Arwen gives a little gasp. |
|
0:40 |
– |
The child looks straight at Arwen. |
|
0:48 |
– |
He is
wearing the Evenstar necklace. |
|
0:56 |
– |
The child's face is sober as he looks at
his mother. |
|
1:04 |
– |
Arwen's eyes close on her tears as she remembers her father's words. |
|
1:12 |
– |
"There is nothing for you here....
|
|
1:16 |
– |
only death" |
|
1:20 |
– |
The solo voice finishes as Arwen opens
her eyes to find the vision gone. Her face changes from grief to
calm determination. |
|
1:25 |
– |
(Figwit has his moment of
screen time as he reminds her that they cannot delay - unscored in
movie) The strings swirl around the
Evenstar
Melody as Arwen turns her horse back from the road ahead. Snippets of the Rivendell
Arpeggios can be heard underneath the melody. |
|
1:35 |
– |
She
crosses a high bridge and up the empty streets of Imladris. |
|
1:44 |
– |
The music moves away from the
Evenstar
Melody and the
Arpeggios. Throwing off her cloak she ascends the stairs to her
father. She demands that he tell her what he has seen with his
gift of foresight. |
|
|
|
(He says "I looked into your future
and I saw death." But she confronts him. This is
not the only thing he has seen. He has seen life... he has seen her
son.) |
|

(connecting music not in movie)
A descending phrase leads to
|
|
2:04 |
– |
one
with a melancholy air. Elrond
replies, "That future is uncertain." Arwen says,
"But it is not lost." |
|
2:13 |
– |
Elrond, looking defeated, sits heavily. "Nothing is certain." |
|
|
|
(Arwen kneels next to her father. Some things are certain. She turns his face towards
hers. She will not leave. It is time. A cloaked
figure moves towards the shards of Narsil. None of this music
is on the CD. The
Rivendell Arpeggios start in the movie as Arwen moves towards
the shards. We hear the words, "From the ashes a
fires shall be woken. A light from the shadow shall spring." But
the music on the CD doesn't start until....) |
|
2:18 |
– |
"Renewed shall be blade that is broken." Shots of Sauron breaking Narsil and Isildur using the broken blade
to cut the finger from the hand. The
Rivendell Arpeggios
are predominant. |
|
2:25 |
– |
"The crownless again shall be king." The music quiets to a stop. |
|
|
|
(Arwen pleads with her father to
reforge the sword. He walks away from her and she collapses
into a chair. Any music used here is not on CD.) |
|
2:35 |
– |
The solo voice begins the
Evenstar
variant again as the book falls from her hands onto the floor. Elrond picks it up and takes her hand. It is cold. |
|
3:00 |
– |
The
life of the Eldar is leaving her. |
|
3:08 |
– |
Her look tells him... she has made her choice. |
|
3:11 |
– |
The voice sings a last ascending phrase. Whether by his will or not, there is no ship now that can bear
her hence. |
