Product Description
This is one of a series of
songs for children, with words by J.R.R. Tolkien.
The vocal line is intended
to be sung by two solo soprano voices, taking alternate verses, until the final
verse, where they form a duet. Alternatively, the piece can be taken as an
opportunity for two solo flautists, taking alternating verses, until the final
verse.
In either case the
accompaniment can be taken, either by a harp, or by a piano.
Charles McCreerys
beautifully melodic, intricately textured compositions are infused with
classical, romantic and folk idioms. - Samantha Gillogly, violinist and
composer
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 Gasper, LGSM
