So this another post about the music of The Lord of the Rings  films.  I am basing this purely on what we've seen so far for The Fellowship of the Ring  vinyl set, and 'applying' it to The Two Towers  and The Return of the King .  First, I'm going to go over the Fellowship  one again.  Here is the tracklisting for the CD: Disc one No. Title Length 1. "Prologue: One Ring to Rule Them All" 7:16 2. "The Shire" 2:29 3. "Bag End" (feat. " The Road Goes Ever On ", performed by  Ian McKellen ) 4:35 4. "Very Old Friends" 3:12 5.
