The cadence of speech in elvish is so beautiful! I'm glad Tolkien was recorded speaking it, so we can hear how it's meant to be spoken.
OMG he speaks the Quenya so quickly and fluidly, it's hard to follow! I always imagined it as more liturgical and slower. I need to up my gain to learn it properly. It flows like water in a brook when our Eru speaks it!
If you haven't already, take a listen to "Namárië" recording on this channel, where he sings it like a liturgical chant.
This speech is actually in Sindarin
It is much like the cadence of Celtic Irish or Welsh. (and the r's are slightly rolled)
