In the scene where the Fellowship is camping out in the forest of Lothlorien after meeting with Galadriel, someone, I believe Aragorn mentions hearing music in the forest surrounding them and Legolas mentions that it is the Elves mourning a loss. It's an extremely beautiful piece of music but as far as I can tell, it's not on any of the three soundtracks.

Does anyone know what this piece of music is or if I'm just missing it on one of the soundtracks?

There was a special extended CD released, it had a cover somewhat similar to the extended DVD, was it on that, or have you heard it?

The only version I have watched beginning to end is the extended edition, so yes it was definitely in that. I saw part of the meeting with the Elves in the theatrical version the one time I saw it on TV (my favorite part of the movie) and thought there was at least a little bit of it in that but I could be wrong.

Did you mean the 'Lothlorien' track?

You can find a small discussion of it here: FOTR Soundtrack (http://www.elvish.org/gwaith/movie_soundtrack_fotr.htm). They have two versions they discuss - one off the CD and one that came as the sheet music.

And also HERE (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showthread.php?t=11421&page=1) in posts 73 to 79.

I think you may have misread my post, I wasnt talking about the DVD. There was a special edition CD released, which had extras on it, such as Annie Lennox singing another song, consisting of poetry from The Books. I have packed it away, as I am moving house, or I would give you the serial number. If you have not resolved this by the time I unpack, then I will send the info on.

Is the other annie lennox song called 'Use well the days' if you can remember?

that song's even better than Into the West.

I take it the special edition CD was for the whole trilogy?

Yes you are correct, it is Use well the days, and it is good. The cover was green leather (look), like The Fellowship, as I cannot put my hands on it, and (shame) cannot remember the exact details of the CD, I am guessing by saying it was just for the Fellowship.

"Use Well the Days" was legally available for a while as an MP3, online. It's lovely. Try googling for it, or look on the scrapbook page.

Use well the days is indeed a very lovely song though I still prefer Into the West. But that discussion doesn't probably belong to this thread... Anyway, I just though that if someone should be interested, they can use well their days and click here (http://lotrscrapbook.bookloaf.net/ref/music/usewell.mp3) for an mp3.
