Lothlorien

The home of the High Elves! This enchanted land is a spectacular sight to behold. Peter Jackson really displays the place well. But we are interested more in the music! The song starts slow and sad, which is quite fitting considering Gandalf has just apparently perished.

The music seems to lend it as a place of comfort, healing, rest, and purification. The Fellowship at first has to argue their way in, but Aragorn manages to get them passage to see Galadriel - The Lady of Light. Frodo eventually confronts Galadriel and offers her the One Ring - fortunately for all of Middle-Earth, she declines that power. Galadriel is one of the three Elven ring bearers. She wields Nenya. The Elven rings are the only ones that are still in use besides the One. The dwarven ones were destroyed or recovered by Sauron, the Nine consumed the Men that bore them and they became the Nazgul. Two other Elves hold on to their rings. Read through the site and you'll find out which ones they are!

The ending of the Lothlorien scene has the Lady giving out gifts. If you haven't seen the extended version you are missing a good deal of content in the Lothlorien scene. There is extra footage of Aragorn arguing his way in, more footage of Lothlorien itself, and significant additions to the giving of gifts by Galadriel at the end of their visit. The music for this track gives the scene a very restful and comforting sound which gives a vast different to the preceding track, the Bridge of Khazad Dum.
