The Hobbit Playlist
The instrumental opening evokes Bilbo’s sheltered home giving way to the scale and uncertainty of the road, with spacious orchestral, folk, and electronic textures for the wild places and dangers he encounters. The vocal half draws on the dwarves’ songs, Tolkien-inspired lyrics, and music of home, loyalty, greed, and hard-won courage to follow Bilbo’s change from reluctant burglar to resourceful traveler.
