Product Description
This song is an orchestral version
of one of a series of Fourteen Tolkien Songs.
A comment on the collection 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.
