I read about this in The Children of Húrin and The Silmarillion, plus some words about it in Lord of the Rings.

It is amazing to be able to understand such a masterpiece.

Thank you so much for posting this Geodel21!

@KlausDigestive you're welcome! You can find all the songs by "the Tolkien Ensemble" on two cd's : An evening in Rivendell and a Night in Rivendell.

[Estelnin]

@Geodel21 actually there are four cd's. I have At Dawn in Rivendell. The other is Leaving Rivendell.

@Estelnin thank you! I didn't know

Yeah. He's stops by for a cup of mead every once in awhile.

A primeira estrofe em português é assim.

As folhas longas, verde a grama,

Esguia é da cicuta a umbela;

No prado há luz que se derrama

De um céu de estrelas a,fulgir,

Tinúviel dançando bela,

Ao som que flauta oculta inflama;

Há estrelas nos cabelos dela

E no seu manto a reluzir

this is simply not how i pictured this song to be sung. its not subtle, not soft, the singing is harsh and while i'm not saying it was bad is not appropriate for this song.

I would have liked it if there were Elvish lyrics next to it... but nice video!

[ShadowDancer00]

does anyone know where I can get this song seperate from the Tolkien Ensemble? I don't care that much for the other songs, but I love this one and listen to it constantly and would love to have it in my music collection.

Wonderful song, one of my favourites by the Tolkien Ensemble.

To those who complain that this isn't how it would have 'actually' sounded in ME (piano etc): You're right, but I think you are seeing it the wrong way. The Tolkien Ensemble isn't trying to be authentic (even as far as you can be to a fictional world); they just saw the poems of LotR as exactly that -- poems -- and then set them to music as they would set any other poem. So just enjoy the music on it own terms :)

I assume this isn't supposed to be in the same context as it appears in the book, its hard to imagine Aragorn as a bass...

great, i love this song. It's great to have it with lyrics

[Carlislesbeloved]

Love this. I cried, so sad and beautiful.
