LOTR | The Fellowship of the Ring | Lothlórien (Quenya/Sindarin & English)

#lotr #soundtrack #trilogy
Lothlórien is the fourteenth track of The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring - Original Motion Picture Soundtrack by Howard Shore.

FOTR - Annotated Score:
The Fellowship ventures into Lothlórien and so the mystical theme of these Elves returns, featuring soprano Miriam Stockley, female chorus, monochord and a prominent sarangi solo.

“Lothlórien is more exotic,” explains Shore. “Rivendell is about learning and knowledge, but this is different.” The Lothlórien music stretches into sustained, arrhythmic shapes that sound neither dangerous nor comforting, but create a sense of unanswered anticipation.

After a phrase from the ney flute, a rolling tam-tam and a flourish of brass and strings carry the members of the Fellowship into Caras Galadhon, while cascading harps and female voices (singing “Galadriel’s Song”) maintain the ambiguously impressive air.

But all turns to sadness once hobbits, Elves, Men and a Dwarf pause to grieve the loss of Gandalf. Elizabeth Fraser and a female chorus trade phrases in a call-and-response texture with the monochord. In this despondent ceremonial music, the “Lament For Gandalf ”, Shore explores his adapted Maqam Hijaz scale over drone-like open harmonies in the low strings.

GALADRIEL’S SONG (Full Lyrics - Quenya):
Cenin i Herumor
Sámarya hanyenye
Oio mahta-mahtala
Cenien sanwenya
Ananta...
Pahta i ando!

Ela i cále!
Nenya sina
Corma úhátima
I haryanye.

I perceive the Dark Lord
I comprehend his mind
Ever groping
To see my thought
But still...the door is closed!

Behold the light!
Nenya is this
Ring, unbreakable
That I possess.

LAMENT FOR GANDALF (Full Lyrics):

Verse 1 - Quenya
A Olórin i yáresse
Mentaner i Númeherui
Tírien i Rómenóri
Maiaron i Oiosaila
Manan elye etevanne
Nórie i melanelye?

Olórin, who once was...
Sent by the Lords of the West
To guard the lands of the East
Wisest of all Maiar
What drove you to leave
That which you loved?

Verse 2 and 3 - Sindarin
Mithrandir, Mithrandir, A Randir Vithren
ú-reniathach i amar galen
I reniad lín ne môr, nuithannen
In gwidh ristennin, i fae narchannen
I lach Anor ed ardhon gwannen
Calad veleg, ethuiannen.

Mithrandir, Mithrandir, O Pilgrim Grey
No more will you wander the green earth
Your journey in darkness, ended.
The bonds cut, the spirit rent
The Flame of Anor from earth departed
A great light, has gone out.

LAMENT FOR GANDALF (Chorus Text - Quenya)
Melmelma nóren sina
Núra lá earo núri
Ilfirin nairelma
Ananta ilyar eccatuvalme

Ar ullume nucuvalme:
Nauva i nauva.

Our love for this land
Is deeper than the deeps of the sea
Our regret is undying
Yet we will cast all away

Rather than submit
What should be shall be.
