The opening part of the track is a solo flute (yay!) accompanied by strings. At 0:27, the flute is replaced by a clarinet in a melody that seems related to the Shire theme.

At 0:42, the violins hold a pedal tone over the horns in the same theme we heard in the Breaking of the Fellowship in FotR. This is also a variant of the Shire theme.

At 2:03, the clarinet returns with the original Shire theme.

The strings gradually dominate and then fade away to Gollum's bit of sneaking at 2:59. The low brass under the violins resembles the music we will hear in Shelob's cave in RotK.
