Lyrics are found in
The Annotated Score
of the Two Towers where it says the lyrics are used for the CR
track, "War is Upon Us'. The only singing in that track is heard as
the Entmoot is called. It would make sense that lyrics from
"Entmoot" are used there but the phonetic lyrics for this spot (from
the LOTR Symphony) are "Eh Khoo Yahn (long pause) Nen" This doesn't
match anything in "Entmoot" but it does match the word "Echuiannen"
from "The Ents".
When the choir lyrics became
available for the ROTK Live concerts, it seemed lyrics from the
Entmoot might have been used in a scene not connected with the Ents.
At least not directly. See note below. |

Scene:
Théoden answers the call of Gondor (not in movie)
CR-ROTK Track: The Lighting
of the Beacons; 1-15 - MUSIC ONLY - Singing is heard
only in the ROTK Live Concerts
Source Text:
Entmoot
After the Beacons are lit, the last within
site of Edoras, Théoden declares that Rohan will answer Gondor's call
for aid. General bustling ensues. Eomer calls, "Now is the hour, Riders
of Rohan, oaths you have taken! Now, fulfill them all! To Lord and
Land!" The music throughout this scene is Nature's Reclamation and
as Éomer finishes his summons, a brilliant phrase of the music answers
in response. In the ROTK Live concert, the choir sings in unison with
the orchestra in this response. The phonetic lyrics are provided and I'm
fairly confident they point to Entmoot as the source text. This makes
some sense since the Ents are also represented with Nature's Reclamation
when they enter the battle for Middle-earth. Also, the two lines used "Mâb le i nagor, Bâd gurth vi ngalad firiel",
are translated as: "The war is upon you, Death moves in the fading light."
The time stamps indicate each bar of music. If there are two syllables
per bar, the second is a catch note into the following bar. I'm not sure
how useful the time stamps are when they come this quickly, but if you
sing the first word in each line on the first beat of each measure, you
should have it right.

FOTR,
Book 6, Chapter VI, Many Partings
Although
Tolkien is not credited for this text, he should have been. Two
lines are reworded from Treebeard's parting to Celeborn and
Galadriel after the destruction of the Ring. They used these same
words in the prologue of the movie, spoken there by Galadriel.
Then Treebeard said farewell to
each of them in turn, and he bowed three times slowly and with
great reverence to Celeborn and Galadriel. 'It is long, long
since we met by stock or by stone, A vanimar_, _vanimálion
nostari!' he said. 'It is sad that we should meet only thus
at the ending. For the world is changing: I feel it in the
water, I feel it in the earth, and I smell it in the air. I do
not think we shall meet again.'
