‘Fourteen Tolkien Songs for Children’s Voices’

I hope these songs to words by J.R.R. Tolkien may be of interest to members.

There is a ‘Look inside’ function which enables people to get an idea of what the music looks like.

Arrangements of several of the songs can be heard here:

‘For those who only know Tolkien via the recent blood-and-thunder films, this song-cycle by Charles McCreery will give a very different angle on the classic saga. Here we find a gentle and ethereal world, where rhythms lilt and words echo. The twelve songs, suitable for choir, evoke a dreamy, water-colour landscape with no harsh sounds, the tunes are singable and in a traditional style that Tolkien would surely have approved.’ – Dr Julia Gasper, LGSM

‘Charles McCreerys beautifully melodic, intricately textured compositions are infused with classical, romantic and folk idioms.’ – Samantha Gillogly, violinist and composer
