Hah! I feel smart...I found the thread and didn't create a duplicate. Ahem, anyways...
Recently I've been reading all the poetry especially in LOTR with more vigure. Treebeard's elvish poem concerning the entwives...
Quote:
When spring unfolds the beechen leaf, and sap is in the bough;
Whe light is on the weld-wood stream, and wind is on the brow;
When stride is long, and breath is deep, and keen the mountain air;
Come back to me! Come back to me, and say my land is fair.

...For some reason this poem is deep to me and even when reading it in my head I can hear the ents singing it, calling to each other over vast distances. The ents under trees and entwives in their fields. The music behind it was so clear to me that I put it to written music and sing it now and again to myself. It is just beautiful to me. The sadness of the story, even though fiction, and only a small piece of the ents history, it touches my heart and grabs at my pity. I hope to complete my musical recreation of this poem with my own instrumentation and voices. I can hear the harmony's in my mind as I write this. I want to record it and post it somewhere where you all can here it. If anyone has a sujestion for this, about where I might put my song without compromising copywrite laws, please share.
