thank you
OP is a shcolar and a gentleman.
Thank you! Many blessings on you!
thanks
I was weeping when the Silmarillion was coming to an end. I was in denial, I didn't finish the book for weeks, It felt like Maedhros, Maglor, Elrond, Mándos, Irmo, Beren, Luthien, and all the rest were my very dear friends. I cried when the last elves left Middle Earth. Like they were leaving it to it's fate, they did there job, and now it was time to part. And I cried again when the book left the rest of Middle Earth. Like it was screening out, giving up on it, I felt myself being torn away, I didn't want to leave.. now I'm back to my reality, and it is bittersweet, but I realize I can just read it all again
It will never be again so magical!!! One time in reality never so touching like the first time!!!! Why must the elves fade and the magic with him😔!I am torn and heartbroken every time😢
The Silmarillion really is a masterpiece. The actions and the deeds of the Eldar and the Edain never fail to move me to tears. Fingolfin battling Morgoth, Finrod battling Sauron and the werewolf, and Ecthelion battling Gothmog are awe inspiring. Tolkien is an artist who has my utmost respect.
Ugh just stop with this sentimental saccharine idolatry
@@thelastaesthetesomeone who cries THAT much may have some issue honestly
I haven't been to Middle-Earth and Tolkien for around 5 years of my life. Time to dive into this good old universe again!
The Fall of Gilgalad is by far my favorite. I am obsessed with it.
mine too,. amazing adaptation
"What ship will bear me across so wide a sea?" After reading Silm, that part gives me the chills, since I know where she comes from and how did she got to where she is. Artanis, Maitimo, and Macalaure are the only grandchildren of Finwë that live to see him avenged. And Artanis is the only one who ever returns alive to Valinor.
+MaffiiOrdaz is Artanis Galdriel
Aura flower Thompson Yes :) that is one of her names
Do you use the alternate names of characters just to confuse people? Also Maedhros dies and Malgor is never heard of again so you are completely wrong on that front...
@@Las3rBoy not nessisarly if she is implying the avenging of Finwe as when Morgoth was banished to the void
@@Las3rBoy I would say they have a love for the Old Noldorin. What stirred you to answer to something you were not called to, and with ill words even more so? Both Maglor and Maidhros saw the Fall of Morgoth. I understand that is what they meant.
This video is probably my number one favorite collection of "songs and lays" from Tolkien's works. And this visual art as well, simply and absolutely breath-taking! I feel like I'm being taken down a path that's as familiar as a mother or father, and yet it's also as if I've never really been there before! It's like I'm watching and listening to his writing, something I never thought would be possible. God bless!
As a huge Tolkien fan I want to thank you, this is simply amazing
me too
This should be released as a collective album. It really is a remarkable collections of songs in different styles.
@@Stevenwigmore Indeed!!
Wow the fall of Gil-galad was really really unnaturally good.
Wow! And I thought A Elbereth Gilthoniel was beautiful in the film adaptation! The Norwegian Girls Choir did an amazing job bringing the elves' voices to life.
Le Lai de Nimrodel...que demander de plus ? C'est de la beauté à l'état musical, rien de moins ! Et la Lamentation de Galadriel, et la chanson des Tertres de Mundburg, et...et tout en fait. Merci d'avoir partagé ces musiques merveilleuses !
27:47
Through Rohan over fen and field where the long grass grows,
The West Wind comes walking, and about the walls it goes.
‘What news from the West, O wandering wind, do you bring to me tonight?
Have you seen Boromir the Tall by moon or by starlight?’
‘I saw him ride over seven streams, over waters wide and grey.
I saw him walk in empty lands, until he passed away
Into the shadows of the North. I saw him then no more.
The North Wind may have heard the horn of the son of Denethor.’
‘O Boromir! From the high walls westward I looked afar,
But you came not from the empty lands where no men are.’
From the mouths of the sea the South Wind flies, from the sandhills and the stones;
The wailing of the gulls it hears, and at the gate it moans.
‘What news from the South, O sighing wind, do you bring to me at eve?
Where now is Boromir the fair? He tarries and I grieve!’
‘Ask me not of where he doth dwell-so many bones there lie
On the white shores and the dark shores under the stormy sky;
So many have passed down Anduin to find the flowing Sea.
Ask of the North Wind news of them the North Wind sends to me!’
‘O Boromir! Beyond the gate the seaward road runs south,
But you came not with the wailing gulls from the grey sea’s mouth.’
From the Gate of Kings the North Wind rides, and past the roaring falls;
And clear and cold about the tower its loud horn calls.
‘What news from the North, O mighty wind, do you bring to me today?
What news of Boromir the Bold? For he is long away.’
‘Beneath Amon Hen I heard his cry. There many foes he fought.
His cloven shield, his broken sword, they to the water brought.
His head so proud, his face so fair, his limbs they laid to rest;
And Rauros, golden Rauros-falls, bore him upon its breast.’
‘O Boromir! The Tower of Guard shall ever northward gaze
To Rauros, golden Rauros-falls, until the end of days.’
I was not prepared for how good these were. The fall of Gil-Galad, Durin’s song. All amazing
I find this better than Howard Shore's music, I love his music, but this sticks to the actual lyrics the entire time. I've never heard anything so moving, this is great!
Galadriel's lament at 19:46 profoundly moves me and is hauntingly beautiful. After you read the Silmarillion you understand her longing to return to Valinor.
Huge fan of Tolkien's works. I'm so impressed with all of these! And I mean honestly people, I could hear these being sung in the books.
Nike Wheel complete songs, omg misty mountains cold is like the best. Even if you just try yourself and say them out loud it makes more sense.
Clamavi de Profundis has their own TH-cam channel featuring several works from the books
She didn’t make the list, but Adele Mcallister has some great renditions of these songs.
See I couldn’t really hear them, now I can, thank you to all the artists involved
Always baffled. Fanmade songs should have no business being so good. Just beautiful.
Oh my God this is... this is stunning! I have the extended version of the Hobit soundtrack. Where was this haunting rendition of “The Misty Mountains?” I know this might make me sound like a nutcase, but the imagery of what the elves were able to do in the making of their jewelry and crowns has left me almost in tears. Tolkien was a brilliant writer. I thought the cultures he wove were rich, but this! This stuff is on a whole other level. I am blind and getting hold of a version of this huge work that hasn’t been hacked to death by audio-production companies is almost impossible. If I went for a Braille copy I’d have to give it its own bookcase. I’m not kidding. Haha! Just to give you an idea, the Holy Bible is fourteen two and a half inch volumes. Harry Potter and The Order of the Phoenix is something like nine one inch thick volumes. Thank you so much for posting this. Wording this brilliant needs to be sung in order to give it its full life. Can you tell I’m a writer yet? LOL!
Can you read the answers some way to your comment? Is there some technical solution to this? Or does someone read them out loud for you?
Thats a trully demostration of all the love for tolkiens world by all this people who have made this beautifull songs and pictures that are incredible really really gratefull about all that i have enjoyed a lot this video in a spiritual and lovely moment, thanks for make this video
I'm loving these Tolkien song interpretations; I can easily imagine them being sung in the books. Thanks for putting this together!
I love t Boromir's funeral lament, sung in a medievel style, it's a.shame people don't sing like that anymore....
I feel you.
Hear it fro Karlien please!
when i read it in the book i thought it's supposed to be sad...
archel prinnydood barayoga It's a way to honor Boromir and it does have a sad tone to it, but also a way to show that he has passed on.
Medieval laments for a fallen hero all sounded like that. It's an heroic song, praising the deeds of a great warrior. It's also like a Viking feast song, for a fallen Chieftain or Jarl.
The first Elbereth Gilthoniel with Silmarillion pictures it’s just beautiful and perfect !!
Such beauty deserves a bit more than just fifty-six thousand views (heh, now it's even above hundred views) in my opinion, although music that kind shouldn't be viewed by those who are simply spreading chaos across the lands (trolling).
Maybe it shouldn't be too popular, only the ones understanding it's majesty are worthy listening to it? Time shall answer, I suppose.
Indeed! Were it possible, I would clasp hands with you in full agreement. Such beauty requires a special appreciation that is seldom seen in these days of too many screens and babbling streams of words that mean nothing and are as lacking of true substance as vapor. These words hold a magic and precision not practiced in most modern literature,. We will probably never find their like again this side of mortal life.
I dream that someday some episodes of Silmarillion can be adapted to the cinema.
I hope that then we can represent the landscapes of Valinor and that these music will be part of the soundtrack.
If it's done well, I think that rarely will cinema be able to get closer to the dream.
I never stop to listen this, when I have time. ❤
The first song conjured up the days of the Noldor.
JRR Tolkien the writer who's works are the base of all modern fanticy and who's words still echo in the web of time....
+Odin Panek
Even more so, Tolkien single-handedly created the sub-genre of high fantasy (not intentional of course).
1ThisIsMyNameNow1 A
Not exactly.
Much of modern fantasy is derivative, or in the tradition of Tolkien, but not all.
Fritz Reuter Leiber Jr, for example was a contempary of his who's works gave rise to the distinct swords and sorcery sub-genre.
And don't forget C.S Lewis.
His works will be remembered till the world changes and the deep places are uprooted

Far over the Misty Mountains Cold. This particular rendition gave me goosebumps!
Will Connor finally complete songs with complete lyrics!
I know, right?
Will Connor if you know where on TH-cam to find the Marching of the Ents song I'd like to know
I don't sorry. :(
It's not the complete song in this video. Go search for "Clamavi De Profundis"
Full "Far Over the Misty Mountains Cold": (with the first and last stanza of Durin's Song)

"The Ents' Marching Song":
th-cam.com/video/6wS-uS9pmho/w-d-xo.html
I havent been able to find the source for the song: "The old walking song [Frodo's version] yet. But it is an alternate version of the original "The road goes ever on" by Bilbo Baggings. More information can be found here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Road_Goes_Ever_On_%28song%29. but I have found the lyrics of the song for those who are interested:
Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate
,And though I oft have passed them by
,A day will come at last when I
Shall take the hidden paths that run
West of the Moon, East of the Sun.
This song is titled "A Walking Song." The first version is in the chapter "Three Is Company" in The Fellowship of the Ring. Frodo's changed verse is in "The Grey Havens" in The Return of the King. It is a different song than The Road Goes Ever Ever On, which is titled The Old Walking Song.
Frodo's song artist name has been found. th-cam.com/video/X3SleQy1YW8/w-d-xo.html

WolfPoet ... You . Are. Incredible! I'm only in the first song, and enjoying the displays of artwork ... I'm captivated, blown away! I feel like I'm in the House of Elrond in the fire room of song, being lulled into a waking dream state by the wonder of the finely composed music and Tolkiens verses! Thank you very much for the upload friend!
Just read A journey in the Dark and The Bridge of Khazad-Dum and the song of Gimli makes the imagination of the place and events even greater.
I think we will never be able to thank you enough for this compilation with these lovely drawings, nevertheless, thank you ever so much and may you be granted with many blessings for uploading it here as well!!

This is absolutely MARVELOUS!!!! Thank you so much! *Le hannon*
I Love Choral Music... I miss singing in a choir ; at the age of 20 I started my own choir and @ X-mas time that year we were honored to sing live for the Mayor of Oakland, California. It was one of the highlights in my early musical life! Oh, but I was blessed to belong to various choral and symphonic groups, many of which I've had so many great times and grew so much from; spiritually, scholastically and socially. Music set a mood and allows us to celebrate up to the tips of our souls!
Thank you for this Special Compilation and Artwork! Beautifully done!
~ peace
this playlist is so, so good ! deep thanks to all the creators !!!

The riddle of strider is so beautiful, ... cant stop listening to it.

Amazing Compilation.. :)
Okay but the way that ı love Tolkien Universe so much 💖🥺💖
Thank you much , enjoyed
Great job!
loved this so many of my fav song
I've been looking for more Anois songs, but I can't. That song it's awesome
Misty mountain songs was one of the only good things about the new Hobbit movies.
Agreed. The first movie was OK...I hated the second one (except when Bilbo and Smaug talk) and as for the BOTFA I'm going to rent it from the Red Box when it comes out on DVD. Jackson has turned Middle-Earth into his own over-blown, fanfiction, cash-cow CGI project. Hopefully he will never get his hands on the Silmarillion or The Children of Hurin. Hopefully.
thewolfpoet Ya, its annoying. The Lord of the Rings volume wasn't bad. Why can't they keep going in the style of those? Maybe there's something I'm missing.
thewolfpoet I completely agree. The Lotr trilogy was pure gold (both books and movies) because it was true to the books. The Hobbit, on the other hand, included an unnecessary love triangle, Tauriel (who shouldn't even exist) and Legolas (who wasn't even supposed to be in it either). One of the worst parts was at the end when Thranduil mentions Strider. Strider was probably only a child still, so how on Earth did Thranduil know about him!? I heard that they were going to make the Simarilion into a TV series, although I don't know whether this is true or not
Hermione Jean Granger I still remember reading the books for the first time as a kid. It was so amazing to read the stories for the first time long before the films. The purity of the story still stays in my mind. When you only read the books, the story is timeless and never gets corrupted.
1.618 Dave And you never get bored of reading them again
Beautiful
OH MY GOD TO THE SEA!!!!!!!!!!
Reading the Silmarillion and listening this music is really fantastic...!
that passage at 6:38 !!!!! OMG, Misty Mountains !!!!
This is art... truly art...
53:59 my favourite
Isn't it a marveat how wonderful these poems translate with music?
very good music! true to the books, ty
25.21 The Fall of Gil Galad is performed by the band Anois from the Netherlands, not the Tolkien Ensemble.
You are correct; my mistake. I will put the correction in the description. :)
This is awesome! congrats, share and like!
Is there anything you can share about the version of The Old Walking Song at 1:08:19? I'm absolutely stunned by how good it is, and I simply can't find a thing about it or any versions using the same arrangement! I'd love a way to get a hold of it :)
***** Thanks man! Can I ask where you found it yourself? It's incredibly difficult to source by searching online :P
@@Kruggly It has been found: th-cam.com/video/LssXF2xT-9U/w-d-xo.html
Playing LOTRO and listening this in background, just awesome
This is absolutely gorgeous. Thank you so much.
Do you have the lyrics of all these songs anywhere? Or links to the original videos? I don't recognise some of the references.
Very choice for the LOTR lovers out there. Awesome! Love this
Which group sings "Lament for Boromir"?
Thanks.
I see you everywhere now, haha
