Heard the Shire Theme playing on the intercom today and I couldn't help but smile.

Fans of the hobbit movies, I need your opinion on something.

So the theme that plays during important scenes with Bilbo is the Shire Theme, also known as Concerning Hobbits.

But. Howard Shore originally wrote a theme specifically for Bilbo called Dreaming Of Bag End that ultimately was only used once, during the credits of the first movie.

I get why Peter Jackson went with the Shire Theme, it was a strategic marketing choice to appeal to fans of lotr.

But I want to know: if you’ve heard both of these scores, which do you think fits Bilbo better? The Shire Theme/Concerning Hobbits, or Dreaming Of Bag End?

@3friesshortofahappymeal your comment about the pennywhistle reminded me!!! i taught myself this when i was thirteen and my mom bought me a tenor recorder that year, so obviously i just about broke everything in my house to find this again. and here we go. i practiced for exactly five minutes before hitting record just to refresh my memory lol
