Product Description
This is the opening number in a series of songs for children, with words
by J.R.R. Tolkien.
The song is written for voices in two and three parts in verses 2 and 3, but can
be sung by a choir in unison throughout if preferred, as the tune is always
present in one part (usually the top line).
Charles McCreerys beautifully melodic, intricately
textured compositions are infused with classical, romantic and folk idioms. -

A comment on Charles McCreerys collection of
Tolkien songs:
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
