Arwen encounters Aragorn and the hobbits in the forest. In introducing Arwen’s theme, Shore stresses the dulcet tones of female voices—the characteristic choral sound of the elves. Arwen picks up Frodo and, with Ringwraiths in pursuit, makes for Rivendell with all her might. She defeats the Black Riders at the Ford of Bruinen, but the ride has taken its toll on Frodo. Arwen offers him a blessing and the score returns to its Elvish vein, repeating Arwen’s theme then echoing her words in female chorus.
