THE JOURNEY THERE, , a theme for
Middle-earth in the
subcategory of the Ring Quest, is a slow,
processional melody that conveys the onerous task of walking
this Ring to Mordor.

Places
this theme is heard in FOTR:
-
Just as the camera cuts to a long shot of
Frodo and Sam
walking in fields and over streams as begin their journey.
(Right after Gandalf leaves them.) , and then, as they move into
a field with a scarecrow. This theme ends after Sam says, “It’ll
be the farthest away from home that I’ve ever been.”
-
As Galadriel shows Nenya to Frodo in her
glade and encourages him in his quest. He knows what he must
do (carry the ring to Mordor by himself), but is afraid. “Even
the smallest person can change the course of the future."

Places
this theme is heard in ROTK:
-
A slow, dreary version is heard when Frodo, Sam and Gollum set
out from the cave in which they have been resting toward the
beginning of the movie.
-
A extra weary version, so weary it
can't quite complete its phrasing, is heard after Frodo and Sam,
now clothed in Orc armor, are contemplating having to go down
amongst the troops of Mordor's army. They don't think there's
any hope but they have to do it anyhow.
-
This same extra weary version is
heard after Frodo and Sam escape from the Orc regiment they were
briefly conscripted to and, still in their Orc armor, stumble
across Gorgoroth.
