Like being in Middle-Earth

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 March 2003

This is the first album in the The Tolkien Ensemble's attempt to make music to all the songs and poems in The Lord of the Rings. It is a great undertaking, which the Ensemble performes admiringly.
The elven songs are beautiful and the Hobbitsong are merry. The ensemble is inspired by irish folk and classical music. It feels like being in Middle-Earth.

Simple �art project� renditions with a Scandinavian flavor

Reviewed in the United States on 3 September 2001

Those looking for the otherworldly qualities in music written and played by elves, dwarves, and hobbits should not look to this title for satisfaction. These songs are simple fare, executed skillfully, but without the artistry one would expect to match that of Tolkien's literary world. The music contained on the BBC version of "The Hobbit" and to some degree, the same production company's classic version of "The Lord of the Rings" was what I was expecting. The odd tunings and meter, ancient and rare instrumentation, and lack of high-art pretentiousness of these titles, speak much more to the heart and the mystery that is Middle Earth.
There are some cuts that do seem to add some value, Galadriel's songs, selections 6 and 10, which have catchy mysterious melodies and light airy vocals. These songs do, at least, start to paint the supreme sadness of the elvish world within Middle Earth. The other cuts are either "hee-haw" goofy folk renditions of Tolkien's Troll, Merry Old Inn, and Tom Bombadil poems or high brow parlor music. Look to Andreas Vollenweider's "Caverna Magica", "Down to the Moon", and "White Winds" or Alan Stivell's "Renaissance of the Celtic Harp", to name a few, for something more elvish then what is here. Namárië!

Haunting

This music haunts me. Previously I gave this CD a rating of 4 stars, not finding it as appealing as "Evening in Rivendell." That has changed. The sorrowful words and tones of this album creep into my thoughts at unexpected moments; I want to listen to them again and again. Oddly, I find this is especially true of the "Rhyme of Lore" and "The Fall of Gil-Galad" . . . and I don't even know who they're singing about!

All the songs of Middle-Earth are sad songs.

Reviewed in the United States on 28 June 2000

Verified Purchase

Wonderful! I bought this CD unsure what to expect, and was delighted at what I heard. It is easy to imagine that this is the way the music of Middle-Earth might have actually sounded. Tolkien's lyrics are set to enchanting music, full of sadness and longing (except of course for the cheerful songs of Tom Bombadil and the Hobbits, which are also excellent). Yet, as Aragorn said (of one of the songs included), they will lift your heart.(FoR, Ch.11)

Awesome music

Anyone who likes Lord of the Rings and the Silmarillion will love these songs from the books set to music. The CD was very hard to find, but finally I found a used one that is in great condition.
