Instructions

So far, we have watched about half of The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, and we have encountered more than nine recurring musical elements. Is that too many? Why so many? Maybe you think more would be better.

After writing an introductory paragraph, explain whether you believe this unusually high number of recurring musical elements in the LOTR is too many, or just right. Then explain why you believe what you believe. To make your argument effective, cite examples from the film by referring to at least one scene and its corresponding musical element(s).
