10. I have this 2-CD set...

Edited on Fri Dec-19-03 05:58 PM by haele

"An Evening at Rivendell" set - by Caspar Rieff and David Hall performed by "The Tolkien ensemble", with songs and vocals both by Tolkien and "inspired" by the Lord of the Rings.

They use "period" instramentation and base the chording and meter off various traditional Northern European folksongs. The few times they sing in English, it tends to be "Middle English" (Bring out your Chaucer, folks...)

Very interesting to listen to, fairly easy to sing to - if singing in elvish doesn't mess with your tongue...

(BTW, the illustrations in the folio are done by the Queen of Denmark)
