Updated! Happy to update as many times as needed. That's what it's for.

Also, "final", "final 1", "really final", "I swear this time for real final" are all acceptable in this kind of work. :P

Heh, thanks. Who knew that my for-pleasure-and-enrichment-only keyboard lessons and a couple years of school band would actually come in handy years later?

Reflecting on the process, though, I feel like I spend a lot of time perfecting small details which aren't even heard very well with the singing over top. I keep forgetting that the singing is supposed to be the pinnacle of the piece, and what I hear on the instrumental is not the perfect and completed music, it's just supposed to be the background to the main thing. Maybe I should start doing things in broader strokes and rely more on the singing to get the subtleties across. Dunno. Will see.

I like it! It flows very naturally. Would you like me to change the music to match? I think it sounds just fine as it is, but it's a quick change to make if you prefer them to synch up.

Hey! I like to think of it as a shared investment.

My friend (the one cheering us on from the stands - and btw who volunteered to try some of the female parts as well. I should get her to pick a Tolkien nick so I can refer to her by name here...) sent me a link today of the metal version of Lament with the voices very quiet, so it's almost like an instrumental. She says it's not ideal, but good to practice with. I took that as fate's cue to start working on Galadriel.

(Here is the link: https://inkompmusic.ru/?song=%D0%A4%...29+%28minus%29)


It is my plan, however, to eventually get all of the songs done. Even if it takes me a year. (3 weeks max × 20 something songs... yeah...). Unless I actually get someone to help me out with the music.
