I know I've said this before, but Ian Anderson should've had a hand in composing the score (and would be even more desirable for The Hobbit). This was quite a fun exercise. Oh, and I didn't use any songs with obvious Middle-earth references (like Led Zep's Battle of Evermore), because, well, it would be cheating. Here's some suggestions:
