Here is our version of
J.R.R. Tolkien's poem, "
Lúthien's Captivity in
Doriath." We hope you enjoy it
Description:
Our composition of, Lúthien's Captivity in Doriath, is a meticulous abridgment of the much longer epic poem detailing this event, drawn from Canto X of
Tolkien's Lay of Leithian. We added an original introductory verse to supply context for this abridgment, which we felt rendered the poem suitable for a stand-alone song.
It is a different musical approach compared to a lot of our other music, and is imagined being sung and played by an elven quartet in the Hall of Fire in
Rivendell, where
tales are told and songs are sung. The imagined
elves are the Telioran Players: Gannelion the harper, Simiel the flutist, Laerion the cellist, and Sarthor the percussionist.
