A comment on the collection of Tolkien songs by an Oxford piano teacher:
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
A general comment on Charles
McCreerys music by a violinist and composer in the USA:
Charles McCreerys beautifully
melodic, intricately textured compositions are infused with classical, romantic
and folk idioms.
Samantha Gillogly
Berens Song of
Parting is appropriate for womens choirs, childrens choirs, schools, music
students generally, and anyone with a particular interest in the work of
J.R.R. Tolkien.
The three vocal parts
and the piano accompaniment can each be printed out separately at the end of
the full score.
The MP3 which plays
from this page is of an orchestral version of the song.
On the front cover
is a photograph of Port Meadow, Oxford, looking North, at dusk.
