The Breaking of the Fellowship
This is an extremely sad song as the viewer
witnesses the Fellowship come apart. Boromir falls to the
power of the Ring (although we will later see that his father
has set him up to it) and attempts to take it from Frodo. When
this happens, Frodo is forced to put on the Ring and
flee.
This song also depicts the death of Boromir
and the last fight with the Uruks. Boromir is seen recovering
from his mistake and fighting the Uruks valiantly on his own
(Does Merry and Pippin throwing rocks count? :-) )
Nevertheless, Boromir is slain by the orc's
arrows before Aragorn can reach him. Aragorn manages to slay
the orc and be with Boromir in his dying moments. The song
gives a very graceful sound which shows the Fellowship
scattered, yet focused. Their adventure ahead will be
interested indeed.
