Featuring The Road Goes Ever On performed by Ian McKellen. Music composed by Fran Walsh, Lyrics by J.R.R. Tolkien. While Frodo reads beneath a shady tree, the whistle makes its first appearance, revealing the hobbits’ serene internal life—a quality upon which Middle-earth will soon rely. “The whistle seemed right. It had a nice peaceful sound to it, simple and not too orchestral.” Gandalf’s cart pulls up the road as the grey Wizard gently sings to himself.
