The House of Elrond - Video
PUBLISHED:  Feb 02, 2011
DESCRIPTION:
RIVENDELL, an Elven theme, contains two figures.

~ a rising figure for female chorus

~ instrumental arpeggios

The theme is often sung using lyrics from Hymn to Elbereth.

"EVENSTAR" (Arwen & Aragorn), an Elven theme, depicts a "mature love...compromised by responsibility" (Doug Adams, CR-TTT liner notes, page 12). Although the melody can be heard as an instrumental, it is sung in places using lyrics from the source text, Evenstar. There's one slow line sung by a soft, female choir and another line sung by soprano, Isabel Bayrakdarian.

ARWEN REVEALED, an Elven theme, is heard twice in the movies. Doug Adams comments in the CR-FOTR that the Rivendell Theme is often applied to Arwen, especially in TTT & ROTK. But as a 'freethinker' among the Elves, she is supplied with her own material and is given "four subsidiary themes" (The Music of the LOTR Films, pg 44)

Arwen Revealed represents Arwen as a single entity rather than in connection with other people or concepts. It also starts by emphasizing her Elvish essence and reappears as she fully and finally steps into the world of Men.
