Aragorn’s song during his coronation or Eowyn’s lament at Théodred’s funeral prove the music isn’t just there to beautify the story. He also makes characters interpret songs and poems from Tolkien’s work. He used the different languages created by Tolkien, and he incorporated them in his themes.
Shore was able to translate Tolkien’s writings in a music score. This score perfectly represents the innocent hobbits, forced to leave their home in order to complete this major quest.

When we first hear it, we are brought into the green and idyllic lands of the Shire. One of the most recurrent themes of the trilogy is Concerning Hobbits.
