I'm now looking for recordings to 'illustrate', for lack of another word, my lecture. Unfortunately, though the Tolkien Ensemble has completed its LotR project, they have not composed music to the Hobbit songs, as far as I know. I do have the BBC dramatization of The Hobbit, so have heard its take on the music of the Dwarves. Do any of you know of other renditions? Does the animated Hobbit movie show their instruments/have a version of their playing and singing?

Preparing this topic is a very interesting project! As I have time, I'll post some of my discoveries by and by.
