Oh I think the Canon is lovely but Nienna is such an isolated figure that I tend to think of solo pieces for her .... but then in the context you give it is one of her rare visits to valinor and she is "working" in cooperation with Yavanna.... so it works...
How about "ombre mai fu " from Serse, for the party tree replacing mallorn? ..... the tune is better known as "Handel's Largo" but very roughly translated from italian, the words are " Never was the shade of any tree so dear, beloved, and sweet"
