Eye Awake!

Hi all,

I think Esty is quite right, and indeed we know the Horn-call of Buckland

Quote:
AWAKE! FEAR! FIRE! FOES! AWAKE!
FEAR! FIRE! FOES!
AWAKE! AWAKE!
As blown in response to Fatty Bolger's waning of Nazgul invasion. It can't be specific to a particular horn as-

Quote:
Far away answering horns were heard. The alarm was spreading
Which makes sense as otherwise only the owner of one horn could blow the alarm, which is silly!

So to me the tune went something like 'Bwa, wa, wa, wa, Bwa, wa, wa, wa, Bwa, Bwa' (you can tell I'm not a musician huh? ). Sounds a little reminiscent of a British fox-hunting call to me, anyone??
