Ainulindalë (Quenya, "Music of the Ainur" or, more literally, "Singing of the Holy") is the first section and chapter of The Silmarillion. In Tolkien's legendarium, the Ainur (Angels) are Middle-earth's divine beings. In Heaven, before Time, they compose a Great Music. This Music is revealed to be the template, or blueprint, commensurable with the entire history of Middle-earth (beginning to end). The Music of the Ainur is later made manifest by a single-word command of Ilúvatar's (God).

Pronounced [ˌainuˈlindalɛ], the final 'e' bears the diacritical mark ¨, which is not used like the Germanic umlaut, but only to show that the vowel is not silent (in Quenya, 'e' is always short, as in English pet).
