Three Is Company

about this song

The bass drum strokes underpinning the first appearance of the Seduction of the Ring each coincide with a shot of Frodo’s vest pocket, boring a palpable sense of danger into an otherwise innocuous image. These echoing impacts—marked in Shore’s score as “low, distant disturbance”—underpin the first hummed setting of the Seduction of the Ring. (Here again, the One Ring struggles to articulate its seductive message to the less corruptible hobbits.)
