The Hobbit Playlist
This playlist follows Bilbo from the warmth of home into the strangeness and danger of the road, with spacious instrumentals for the wild country and more energetic passages for the quest’s clashes and discoveries. The songs also draw on the book’s specific images of the Misty Mountains, the road, the dragon’s hoard, and Bilbo’s unexpected transformation.
