RESOLVED in final post

Dwarrowdelf

On the FOTR CD: Track 12, A Journey in the Dark
On the CR-FOTR: Disc 2, Track 14, Balin's Tomb

I don't know if these voices are singing lyrics or just providing a 'ahhh' background. If they're singing lyrics, are they from Durin's Song?

Durin's Song

Durin ku bin-amrad
Ugmal sullu addad
Ku bakana
Ana aznân
Undu abad
Ku ganaga
Tur ganâd abanul
Durin ku bin-amrad
Uzbad Khazad-dûmu
Ku baraka
Aznân
ra karaka
atkât
ala lukhudizu!
ala galabizu!
ala ukratizu!
Khazad-dûm!


Doug Shore makes no mention of the voices in the FOTR Annotated Score.

My guess...

[02:48] Ku
[02:49] ba
[02:50] ka
[02:54] na
[02:58] A
[03:01] na
[03:02] az
[03:05] nan...
[03:07] Kha
[03:09] zad
[03:15] dûm!

for the CR...?

[00:34] Ku
[00:35] ba
[00:36] ka
[00:40] na
[00:44] A
[00:47] na
[00:48] az
[00:51] nan...
[00:53] Kha
[00:55] zad
[01:01] dûm!

These are really hard to hear! Also, I don't have the CR, so those stamps may or may not be correct. (I doubt they are anyway smile.gif )

I would have to take any work regarding this section completely on faith. I have almost no hope of teasing out the voices from the music.

I will say that I think I can hear 'kaz' at 3:07 which encourages me.

If anyone wants to weigh in at this moment, do so. If not, I'll probably publish your opinions with our caveats. The floor is always open for comments and further work, however.

(Turesse, I deleted your extra post and your post on the extra post. Did you have the option of delete yourself? I'm not sure what options you have. I might be able to help you with some resource materials if I can contact you off the boards. You could register so I could leave you a private message, or you could find my email address at my website and email me. If you don't wish to do either, that's fine.)

I'm listening again, and it seems to me that I can hear voices as early as 2:42, which is earlier than Turesse is hearing things.

Turesse, are you hearing things at 2:42? I'd love to get some other opinions since my own opinion is kind of useless.

Yes, I forgot to mention that I heard a few syllables there that I couldn't figure out.

Okay... I have to decide to wait for other ears or publish your 'guess'. How are you feeling about your guess? Good enough to put it out there, or unsure enough to wait for other opinions?

I'm not quite sure - I'd say wait for other opinions.

Okay, Turesse. Since you're not real sure, and I can't hear anything, I'm going to add a link to this thread on my site for this music. I'm hoping we'll get someone else to weigh in with their opinion. Thanks for giving us a start.

Final answer from FOTR Live symphony choral lyrics:

CR-FOTR Track: Balin's Tomb; 2-14

00:00 Ku
00:04 ba
00:08 ka
00:09 na
00:12 a
00:16 na
00:20 az
00:24 nan
00:28 un
00:32 du
00:36 ab
00:38 ad
00:40 un
00:42 du
00:43 ab
00:44 ad
00:48 ku
00:52 ga
00:56 na
00:58 ga
01:00 az
01:02 nan

So, the text is:

Ku bakana
Ana aznân
Undu abad
Undu abad
Ku ganaga
Aznân

I know it is difficult to hear them since almost all syllables have
"a" sound in them, so the singing mostly sounds like constant "ah".
But, this is the text which is sung.

Thanks to Sabsi and Danijel.
