LOTR | The Fellowship of the Ring | May It Be (English and Quenya)

May It Be is a song composed and sung by Enya for Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. It was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Song in 2002. The Fellowship of the Ring’s end credits begin with Enya’s composition, “May It Be,” wherein the broken Fellowship is offered a blessing and a faint glimpse of hope: “A promise lives within you now.”

ENYA: In the early 1980s, Enya toured with members of her immediate and extended family in the Celtic folk group Clannad, but soon broke away to pursue her own work along with regular collaborators Nicky and Roma Ryan. In Fellowship, Enya wrote and performed “Aníron” and “May it Be.”

“I wanted Enya’s voice,” says Shore. “She wrote and I orchestrated, so it’s a seamless sound. Her singing grows right out of the choral music and the orchestra.”
