Text by Philippa Boyens
Music by Howard Shore
Translated into Quenya by David Salo
These lyrics are from the
FOTR Annotated
Score.
These lyrics are sung at the debut of
the Nature Theme as the Moth appears to Gandalf atop of Orthanc.
Later, when Saruman and Gandalf are both atop Orthanc, the Moth
reappears as does some a few syllables of singing.
In the FOTR Live symphony (the score played live in concert in
conjunction with the movie shown on screen), singing is heard while
Saruman tells the Uruk-hai, "You do not know pain. You do not know
fear. You will taste Man flesh." This corresponds with 0:24-0:34,
FOTR CR, Disc 3, Track 4, The Fighting Uruk-hai however the CR does
not contain the singing and it's not in the movie's soundtrack. The three syllables,
"nur ru su", are
sung as three long chords in the male choir in conjunction with the
same notes on the French Horns. It appears they are segments of
words from this source text,
"nurru(a) su(re)".
The solo for
the moth's first appearance is sung by Edward Ross.
