Does any one know where I can find the tunes to the different songs?
I found Gil-galad and it was so beutiful I had to find the others so are there any sites with the song's music?

i often wondered if there was a tape or website! all the books on tape seem to gloss over the singing!! How Annoying! i would dearly love to hear the songs! everyone says they fit different christmas carols but i never got it! did tolkien ever write the tune or is it someone elses attempt!

There is a book called 'The Road Goes Ever On', and there you have notes to many of the songs. I have heard it´s a very good book. I don´t know if Tolkien himself liked the tunes though.

There is also a CD called "The Starlit Jewel". It has 13 songs:
I have this CD and listen to it all the time. Highly recommended! If you go to Amazon you can probably listen to samples.

The BBC radioplay has some of the songs in it--possibly the version of the Fall of Gil-galad you heard, Taure. Some of them aren't quite as good, but it's interesting to hear them put to music.
There's also this really funny music file that a friend sent me of Elijah Wood, Sean Astin, Dominic Monaghan and Billy Boyd singing the "Hobbit drinking song"--kind of a combination of several of the songs from LotR. ~*~Orual~*~

I like "The March of the Ents" song! The tune is cool! YEs, I do have "The Road Goes Ever On", but I can't find it right now. But anyway, I shouldn't think it too hard to find on the market. But I wouldn't know, it was a gift to my dad from one of his friends, must've been 30 years ago now. [img]smilies/confused.gif[/img]

I have listened to the tapes, yes, the fall of Gilgalad is on there, I doubt that that was what Tolkien had in his mind, but who knows? I especially like the ent song as well, Too Isengard we come, with doom, we come... [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Yes, it was the BBC. I am trying to use KaZaA to find the songs now.

The Tolkien Ensemble has 2 CDs A Night in Rivendale and An Evening in Rivendale. I found them at Barnes and Noble in the soundtrack section. They are really neat. I am looking for Starlit Jewel now.
