Galadriel is one of the most fascinating characters in fiction to me, and also one that's been played wonderfully by Cate Blanchett in the past. This song captures well both how eternally young and ineffably ancient the Eldar, or Elves, are. During the War of the Ring, Galadriel was many, many thousands of years old and feeling the weight of the years. You can hear that here in how airy and dreamy yet formal and stately this piece is. Absolute classic!
