I agree with both of your point about the "Horns of Ylmir":
Why should sea music not be subtle? I faintly remember a passage of Tolkien were Ulmo is described as the Dweller in the deep that makes subtle music. But I could find it. But I think subtle is as good as description of sea music as ringing.

I agree that "too - dew" is not a good rhyming-couple. But I can't think of any better alternative in the moment.

My main point for the arrangement was exactly what you put in as argument against the use of "Lay of Eärendil": It would not be used at the festival but as the start of the Lay of Eärendil which we would quote in it right position.
The other point is only an additional one.

Respectfully
