The Fellowship's quest starts out playfully and carefree with clips of hobbit music encouraging Merry and Pippin's wrestling match with Boromir and Aragorn. Soon the group learns that their progress does not go unwatched and decides to take the path through Caradhras. Another of Shore's Ring Quest themes debuts with their decision: the attenuated stretch of Dangerous Passes.
On the path, Boromir momentarily comes into possession of the Ring when it falls off Frodo's neck. Again, Shore uses the Seduction of the Ring theme, but now for the first time the boys chorus is able to articulate the text. The Ring's seductive message is not lost on Boromir.
Saruman's powers block the Fellowship's progress by way of an avalanche, and so Frodo, the Ringbearer decides that the troupe shall pass through Moria. The corrupted White Wizard is pleased, both he and Gandalf know what dangers lay in the Dwarves' lair. Distant bass and taiko drums presage the harsh Dwarf music that will soon meet the band.
