music

I was reading another thread about the music of the Ainur and that got me thinking. There is a physics theory, just a theory, it hasn't been proven experimentally. It's called string theory, there are some more refined versions like superstring theory and M theory. It doesn't matter, what...

What do you think are the themes, lessons and conclusions that the reader can reach when reading about what happened at the Music of Creation, and at following the process of how it developed in time?

I assume its either Folk Music - Hobbits Hymns - Elves Ballade - Men Epic poems - Dwarves Well... with Orcs its likely improper stuff. So i won't mention it here.

This YouTube channel (TwoSetViolin) recently released a series of music videos of the 'boy band' B²TSM (Bach, Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, Shostakovich, Mozart). Each of these composers have a song, imitating K-pop styles of music/music video. They have subtitles available, so you can catch all the...

Here is an interesting video essay by GirlNextGondor. It provides an overview and brief analyses of the many kinds of music inspired by Tolkien's works over the decades.

This thread is intended to be a "mutual encouragements' thread similar to the 'Writing" thread someone started awhile ago. We have some folks here working on music in various ways, and some thought it might be useful to provide a venue for keeping track of whozzits and whazzits - hold one...

I wanted to post this in our Official Music thread, but I thought this way, it would reach people easier. Basically, what Western Pop Culture thinks Middle Eastern music is like VS what it's actually is. I leave the rest to the video.

It tends to help me to continue to read. Both relaxing and engaging. For some reason i tend to get too tired by reading without Smooth Jazz. But whats your view on it? Though i have started to use BitChute website for it. Due to YouTube war on adblock. But an example of Smooth Jazz i listen to

Hey! I knew of this cover but am only sharing it recently. It is a cover of Misty Mountains Cold by Colm R. McGuinesss. A Youtube Irish Singer and Musician. This is the closest thing we will get to music from Middle-earth I bet. CL

The marimba has a very distinct and pleasant sound. I've not often heard it on its own. Also, if you didn't know it is possible to play an organ piece on damp glass, well now you do. I'd say my favourite instruments to listen to are the glockenspiel, music boxes, and bells (do I just like...

There was a stage musical of the Lord of the Rings in the mid 2000s. I haven't seen it, and no official full-length recordings exist of it. However, the entire soundtrack is available online, and I have listened to the songs and looked up the lyrics. Some low-quality bootleg recordings of parts...

Everyone has theories on who Tom Bombadil could be. One of my favorites is the one I posed in the title: Could Tom Bombadil truly be the embodiment of the Music of the Ainur? The idea that Tom Bombadil is "oldest and fatherless" and is indicated with the name Iarwain Ben-Adar by the Elves...

Many people do not realize that one of the best and most famous rock bands ever, Led Zeppelin, wrote many songs directly referring to or cleverly hinting about LOTR material. This would make sense, due to the fact that the band itself was British and into the mystical and fantasy. Just thought...

It is a scientific fact that modern music is not of high quality, to put it mildly. Question is, why? The video above answers the question.

For me its this 0:18 I like this video because, its so funny. I just call it "Two worlds, one eeeeh"

Does ANYONE know who the composer/performer of the incidental music heard at the beginning of the 1998 Silarillion audio book narrated by Martin Shaw is? I tried the Shazam app, and no dice. This info is seemingly impossible for me to find. Thank you.

I'm a just in time BBC radio catch up listener and sadly there are just over 5 hours to listen to this Sound of Cinema programme on Shore's LOTR music. NB: As long as you start the programme off in time and keep the webpage open you can go beyond the deadline Sound of Cinema Gesamtkunstwerk =...

For me its this I tend to read 30 pages, then 10 pages and another 10 pages interms of breaks. Of total of 50 pages. But this music helps me relax to the reading of books

The watermark is awful but apparently this live video of Boris Karloff was lost for the longest time and found recently.

Hello all, I was wondering if anyone here was aware of any other novels that put as much importance on music as Tolkien did? Considering people's general love of music, and the tens of thousands of authors copying Tolkien, I find it strange how rare music in literature seems to be. Outside The...
