The filmmaker's originally shot Fellowship's prologue as a shorter sequence for which Shore wrote a self-contained four minute composition. During the film's editing, it was decided that a lengthier sequence would set up the film's story with a more detailed and visceral punch. The film's Prologue was expanded, and so Shore went back and composed a new work to match the edit. The first composition (featuring the text, "The Battle of Dagorlad") was presented on The Fellowship of the Ring's original soundtrack album in 2001, but never appeared in the final film. "The Battle of Dagorlad" was the original title of "The Prophecy".

Choral lyrics in The Lord of the Rings films reference the past histories and broader concepts of Tolkien’s universe. Several passages directly quote the author’s writing, though the majority of the verses are original, scribed by Philippa Boyens, Fran Walsh, David Salo and, for Enya’s work, Roma Ryan.

Shore often uses the texts in a nonlinear fashion, much as one would find in modern opera. Verses are often begun mid-stanza and certain syllables are repeated to create a beautiful vocal mosaic of the languages of Middle-earth. At other times, the writing is presented unaltered with full verses acting as counterpoint to the immediate action.

Seen here is the text in its original complete format, just as it was presented to Howard Shore before he set it to music. David Salo, the world’s leading expert on Tolkien languages, provided the translations, resetting texts in the languages of Middle-earth.

Often, however, Tolkien’s concept of the languages didn’t include the detailed vocabularies the filmmakers wished to use. In these cases Salo’s work extended to language creation, where he found himself expanding the existing dialects to more accurately express the writing.

For the "Fellowship of the Ring", texts were translated into five languages, each representative of the cultural histories of Tolkien’s world: the Elvish languages of Quenya and Sindarin; Khuzdûl, the language of the Dwarves; Adûnaic, the oldest language of Men; and Black Speech, the language of Mordor.
