As our book gets better known in the world of Tolkien literature, it will hopefully be reviewed and evaluated in publications. The first review I have found is in the June 2010 issue of "Beyond Bree", written by Nancy Martsch. I would like to quote her final statement:

A review has been published (in German) in Inklings Jahrbuch 28.
The author and editor kindly agreed to let me use their text online so here it is: http://review.walking-tree.org/?book...10&rev_lang=de Thomas Fornet-Ponse's review is very positive (as the book deserves) while giving a good but compact cross-section on what to expect.

Thanks for the link, Shadowfax!
There's also a very positive review to be published in Tolkien Studies 8! I don't know when the volume will be published, so we'll have to wait until then to quote it...

The review of Music in Middle-earth is now available in Tolkien Studies, vol. 8.
For those who don't have access to the journal online (or their own copy), here's a very brief selection of comments from the review, which I hope falls under the 'fair use' guidelines for quoting material. This is the first paragraph and the last sentence. Quote:
