TITLE: Lotr Fanclub Scrapbook LotrScrapbook Songs
MUSICIANS/COMPOSER: Original Songs set to popular tunes. Fans. Lots of 'em. Some silly, some serious, and everything in between.
GENRE: Classical, operatic, folk, celtic, metal... YES. There's something for everyone here. Keep surfing.
INSTRUMENTS music is written for: Well, voice. Songs.
CANONICAL TOLKIEN or ORIGINAL? Origial lyrics, all Tolkien-themed, mostly set to existing tunes written by popular bands. (It's called Filk. There's a whole subculture of people who do this all the time.)
REVIEW:
Well, the songs run the gamut from silly and absurd to nearly-sublime. There are enough songs here to suit most tastes. And although there are no chords or sheet music, you know half the tunes listed anyway, and the other half you could find or learn if you just HAD to be able to sing a particular song.
DO YOU RECOMMEND IT?
Definitely. HAVE FUN!
PRICE YOU PAID $zero!
