🎶Music for Middle Earth

[Ealdwyn]

An oldie, but I've always thought it fits right into LotR.
The title says it all.

I always thought that the track for Forest Temple from the video game "The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time" was perfect for the Old Forest in "Lord Of The Rings".
It has the exactly same type of hauntingly peaceful and creepy atmosphere;
the kind of feeling that you are being watched by something mysterious that tries to steer you onto the wrong path.
In the game, this is pretty much the enemy "Wall Master", which is a huge hand that falls from the ceiling and grabs you, which then forces you to teleport back to the main entrance (the first game had it come out from the walls instead, which is why it is called "Wall Master").

"Forest Temple - The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time"

Absolutely this, LOZ is my favorite franchise of games and there's a ton of music that would fit for sure.

The spirit temple fits very well for Middle Earth too.

Assuming they had electricity.

And computers. 😅

I just looked through this whole thread and I am baffled that I do not see any Summoning! Time to fix that.

Sorry for spamming but you are all clearly missing out!

 

[Squint-eyed Southerner]

Am I right in thinking they managed to locate some Uruk-hai for vocals? 😄

Hahaha I see you are new to the world of black metal!

 

[Squint-eyed Southerner]

Well, no, actually, though I'm not a big metal fan. If I'm going to listen to that sort of voice, I prefer it in the context of something like the Heilung piece I posted on the first page. But these are good too.

Maybe you can also find some acoustic stuff that Middle-earth musicians might have played-- although we've posted enough electric music on this thread to make people think Middle-earth must have been awash with power stations. 😁

Ok, I will find some less technologically advanced music 😆

 

[Squint-eyed Southerner]

Of course, I don't mean you have to go back to bone flutes and hollow logs, or something! 😅

 

[HanSomReiste]

Some good Anglo-Saxon (i.e. Rohirric) folk music

 

[CirdanLinweilin]

That got my mind jogging and so I have to share

BTW, if any of our newer members haven't come across it yet, we also have a general music thread:

I initially thought this thread was for music that could have been possible with Middle Earth tech, but that went out somewhere around page 3. Too bad many of the videos are either no longer available, not allowed to play outside youtube, or in some cases for me, geoblocked. Going to try and find new links for some I posted that no longer work.

Meanwhile, enjoy some new Faun. Could see them playing in a rebuilt Osgiliath or Annuminas.

More Easterling music:

Or maybe Dwarf.

Or maybe Nazgul. . .🤔

I don't think I've posted this here; my excuses are
1 -- it's Medieval
2 -- Bilbo is called a "bunny" by Beorn and an eagle 😄

Baba Yaga, as well as being a witch from Russian folklore, is the name of a unique international group consisting of Irish and Hungarian rock musicians, and 4 Russian folk singers. This highly unusual formation combines British pop music with Russian folk. The band has written music which blends authentic Russian folk tunes and instruments seamlessly with rock/pop sounds and harmonies. The members first met on a starry night in Agrigento, Sicily in 1989.

Sorry if this has been posted before. I looked but couldn't find it.
