DIEGETIC MUSIC in THE LORD OF THE RINGS

Music is integral to J.R.R. Tolkien’s legendarium, beginning with the Ainulindalë, the divine music that brought the world into being. Throughout his stories, poems and lyrics are sung aloud by his characters, serving as important vehicles for conveying joy, sorrow, remembrance, and history. In Peter Jackson’s film trilogy, the spirit of Tolkien’s songs is preserved through the use of diegetic music—music that originates from the world of the film and is heard and often performed by the characters.

TOLKIEN WEEK 2022 | DAY 9: FAVORITE RELATIONSHIP/FELLOWSHIP ⇢ ÉOWYN & MERRY

“Éowyn! Éowyn!” cried Merry. Then tottering, struggling up, with her last strength she drove her sword between crown and mantle, as the great shoulders bowed before her. The sword broke sparkling into many shards. The crown rolled away with a clang. Éowyn fell forward upon her fallen foe. But lo! the mantle and hauberk were empty. Shapeless they lay now on the ground, torn and tumbled; and a cry went up into the shuddering air, and faded to a shrill wailing, passing with the wind, a voice bodiless and thin that died, and was swallowed up, and was never heard again in that age of this world.

And there stood Meriadoc the hobbit in the midst of the slain, blinking like an owl in the daylight, for tears blinded him; and through a mist he looked at Éowyn’s fair head, as she lay and did not move; and he looked on the face of the king, fallen in the midst of his glory.

[frodo-baggins]

“War must be, while we defend our lives against a destroyer who would devour all; but I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only that which they defend.”

I am Aragorn son of Arathorn, and am called Elessar, the Elfstone, Dúnadan, the heir of Isildur Elendil’s son of Gondor. Here is the sword that was broken and is forged again!

[masterelrond]

In those days of our tale there were still some people who had both elves and heroes of the North for ancestors, and Elrond the master of the house was their chief.He was as noble and as fair in face as an elf-lord, as strong as a warrior, as wise as a wizard, as venerable as a king of dwarves, and as kind as summer.
