Composition notes
When I wrote this song I wanted the music to uplift the listener and help them rise up and escape
and soar high above it all.
Often in Tolkien's stories, the Eagles intervened when it seemed like all hope was lost.
I have found that sometimes when you can’t find a way out of a problem, it helps to get up high above it all. To get a bigger perspective and see the way ahead.
This song is written in the Lydian mode and was composed on the mandolin. Composers from John Williams to Steve Vai use this scale to evoke the sound of magic, wonder and flying. The Lydian mode is a major scale with the fourth note raised by a semitone. The disonant #4 interval is what gives this scale such a wonderful mysterious sound.
