A noble melodic line full of longing paints a thoughtful, proud and slightly melancholic image of the dwarven prince in exile, the music capturing the inherent heroism, resilience and will but also the sorrow he carries for his people and their lost realm and his duty as the prince of the noble house of Durin. The theme develops in a very Dwarvish fashion yet contains more warmth and direct emotionality than the often stoic music of race. Thorin’s own thematic material is seamlessly wedded to Erebor’s rising figure, the exiled king and his realm indelibly linked to one another, the roots of the prince’s theme actually fittingly derived from Erebor’s.
