In looking for "operatic-sounding" pop songs, I came across this incredible performance of "Lost Child":

From the video description:

Here’s an ambitious song I’ve been working on for quite some time, this time about the glorious King Arthur. The song imagines the Britons marching behind King Arthur to the Battle of Badon in 537, where they fought and beat the Saxons who had been conquering Britain for over a century (though the details are debated, as is much of Arthurian history). As a half-Welshman, I have always been fascinated by our legendary Warrior King, so I felt compelled to dedicate a song to him.

I have incorporated elements of his legend (such as Excalibur and the Knights of Camelot) as an extra nod to his rich cultural contributions. The song is written in a reconstruction of Late Proto-Brythonic, otherwise known as Late Common British (or if you want to be absolutely precise, Common Archaic Neo-Brittonic). I wrote this once again by using comparative linguistics, supplemented with help from the works of David Willis and the late John Morris Jones on Brythonic philology. Very little is known about the hypothetical British language (which had many dynamic phases of change), but there is enough evidence from the historical corpus and comparisons between the modern Breton, Cornish and Welsh languages to piece together a phonology and grammar.

In this song, I have taken a phonologically conservative stance appropriate for the 6th century, generally favouring long vowels over diphthongs in the relevant positions, while employing the initial consonant mutations so unique to the Celtic languages that were thought to have developed just prior to King Arthur’s time.

Once again, there may be some errors in my attempt, and I can’t (and wouldn’t) claim that my reconstruction is perfect; however, I’m at least pretty confident that it’s close to the mark.

Jefferson Airplane singing their rather chaotic song 'House at Pooneil Corners' from the rooftop of the Hotel Shuyer in New York City on a freezing morning around 7am on November 19th 1968 when one of the earliest pop-up rooftop 'concerts' occurred. Marty calls out over his live mic, "Hello New York! New York! Wake up!! Free music! Nice songs! Free love!” Jack Cassidy then rumbles the cityscape with the opening bass line as they start into the song. I like this clip as it has bits of interviews with Marty Balin and Paul Kantner from 2012. They both have since passed away.

This is exactly what I imagine the dwarves sounding like (Not the last one of course, I just like that one):

Just a reminder that we have a thread dedicated to "Middle-earth music" -- whatever you consider that to be:

🎶Music for Middle Earth

[Note: This thread was originally titled "Music for Rohan?", and my OP reflects this. I changed the title because, as you can see, things quickly got out of, um, han! :p] Maybe -- At least I can imagine it at Meduseld. See what you think:

Any additions like the first two you linked would be most welcome! 😊

Meanwhile, for those who followed the -- seemingly interminable -- discussion around IU's "Love Wins All" music video I posted here some time ago, she gave a live performance with a very different flavor at the final concert of her first world tour:

I think it's significant that, though it was filmed last September 22nd, she didn't upload it until December 4th, the day martial law was declared. That evening, she had her company deliver hot food and drinks and hand warmers to protesters.

For those who may have missed the discussion, and are interested, my post of the original music video -- and the followup discussion -- begins here:

I forgot about that thread.

I just posted The song of Durin there. The dwarvish misty mountains cold had already been posted.
