Legolas's Song of the Sea

I love this poem by Tolkien because it so beautifully expresses a heart that yearns for the ocean. I wanted to write a melody that supported the emotions of a heart that yearns for the ocean - and the joys of someone who has tasted the salt sea air, and heard the wailing of the gulls. I look forward to sharing more songs from my Tolkien project soon.

Thank you for the kind comments Eamane! I really appreciate the encouragement. I haven't written a melody to the poetry of Tinuviel and Beren yet, but I hope to someday.
