"EVENSTAR" (Arwen & Aragorn),
an Elven theme, depicts a "mature love...compromised
by responsibility" (Doug Adams,
CR-TTT liner notes, page
12). Although the melody can be heard as an
instrumental, it is sung in places using lyrics from the
source text,
Evenstar.
There's one slow line sung by a soft, female choir and
another line sung by soprano, Isabel Bayrakdarian.

Places this theme is heard in TTT:
-
As Arwen and Aragorn
talk 'in a
dream'. (Aragorn is actually in Rohan) A few lines
of Evenstar are sung, as they kiss1, then we hear some of
Aragorn's Theme as Arwen gives Aragorn some encouraging words.
After she tells him to trust the Evenstar, to trust them, more lines of Evenstar are sung,
during more kissing.
-
As Aragorn tries to
give the Evenstar back to Arwen, a sparse variant of the
theme is heard that also has some similarities to
The Diminishment
of the Elves.
-
As Elrond pleads with Arwen to leave
Middle-earth by reminding her of Aragorn's mortality. As
he describes what lies ahead for her we see this future, her
holding vigil over Aragorn's body and tomb - and her wandering
through the forests (of Lórien?)
-
A nice version is heard during the
credits of TTT and during some of the documentaries of the EE
DVD. It has both singing and instrumental verses.
