This section of the film, charting the Fellowship’s experiences in Moria, was the first Shore scored for The Lord of the Rings. These scenes made up a preview presentation for the 2001 Cannes Film Festival and were all performed by the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra. “This is where I started. I had written Dwarrowdelf, and I had the Shire and Fellowship themes, but these were the very first scenes I wrote,” Shore remembers. “It was good to write Moria first because it was a set-piece in the middle of the film.
