Éowyn’s Dream

“Éowyn’s Dream” is a short cue from Howard Shore’s Return of the King score. The scene only appears in the extended edition, so it’s a bit of a deep cut.

The scene is quiet and intimate. Late at night in the Golden Hall, Aragorn finds Éowyn asleep and covers her with a blanket. She wakes and tells him about her dream: a great wave climbing over green lands and above the hills. He comforts her, and she drifts back to sleep. You can watch the scene here.

Big thanks to John (one of my readers) for recommending this…
