The Hobbit Hole XIII - Let them pass! Let them pass!
See our freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net home page! ^

Posted on 07/13/2004 9:49:23 AM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

...Let them pass! Let them pass!
(Note to dwarves, this is only meant figuratively)

New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red,
Beneath the roof there is a bed;
But not yet weary are our feet,
Still round the corner we may meet
A sudden tree or standing stone
That none have seen but we alone.
Tree and flower and leaf and grass,
Let them pass! Let them pass!
Hill and water under sky,
Pass them by! Pass them by!

Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run
Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe,
Let them go! Let them go!
Sand and stone and pool and dell,
Fare you well! Fare you well!

Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Then world behind and home ahead,
We’ll wander back to home and bed.
Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!
Fire and lamp, and meat and bread,
And then to bed! And then to bed!

It would need a disgrontificator as well.

"It would need a disgrontificator as well."

For some reason that word strikes me as something Don King would say :)

That one will work great! - give us a few minutes and it will be done!

I just saw the edited version of the picture I posted and I'd really rather it not be there of me alone. Could you remove it?

Also, I didn't realize that it was a private web page, I thought it was part of FR. Please forgive my intrusion. Thanks

Don King:

I've been disgrontified by the fantabulosity of the exaggerficated allegamations, which are substantulogically non sequitonious.

Sorry, I guess we misunderstood what you meant by "the Hobbit Hole photo album." Your photo has been removed.

I really enjoyed the symphony treatment of the LotR soundtrack. The soloist Sissel did a great job with Gollum's Song and Into the West. It'll make a great CD (probably double CD, given that it was about 2 hours long).

Strangely enough, I liked the 2nd, 4th and 6th movements the best. The second movement started in Rivendell and went through Moria/Khaza Dum (really cool African-style beats that Howard Shore "danced" to while he conducted) to Lothlorien and then down the River to the breaking of the Fellowship. The movement was at least 45 minutes long -- as long or longer than any other 3 movements put together. It was really a symphony of 4 movements in itself.

The 4th movement was much shorter (of course) but it might have been my favorite. It was TTT's Hornburg, Forth Eorlingas, Isengard Unleashed and Gollum's Song. It had some of my favorites -- the "Appalachian" style Eorlingas with the sonorous fiddle, a return to the heavy percussion beats in Isengard and ending with a drop-dead gorgeous rendition of Gollum's Song by Sissel. It was short enough not to get tedious anywhere -- very compact and gave the feeling of one big hit after another.

The sixth movement was RotK, but started with a long section reprising a number of themes from throughout the rest of the soundtrack. Into the West and Grey Havens were the big highlight, with Sissel again just stunning on Into the West.

Howard Shore and the musicians got a 10 minute standing ovation at the end, he had to come out for bows three times.

If you don't get a chance to see it, be sure to buy the CD!
