"I feel as if I was inside a song"The Presence of Music in J.R.R. Tolkien’s Middle-earth and Songs and Poems set to Music

Welcome here at Middle-earth Music.info, where you will find some information about the way in which J.R.R. Tolkien described the role and presence of music in his Legendarium. Many artists today have striven to represent his thoughts in their works - the book presented on these pages takes a look at a selection of pieces based on Tolkien's thoughts: The Tolkien Ensemble with their renditions of the complete songs and poems from The Lord of the Rings, the LotR stage show, as well as Donald Swann's song cycle and the scores to The Lord of the Rings motion picture trilogy.
