The Elven change in character

Noldorin and Sindarin, I believe.

If I'm correct, in the Post-First Age eras, the Noldorin and Sindarin tended to be found together. There wasn't much segregation anymore.

And they had been pretty well-mixed in Mithrim, Gondolin, Nargothrond, etc, well before then anyway.

So while the individual elf might say "I am Sindar" or "I am Noldor", my understanding is that the populations as whole were mixed for the most part.

Actually, many would have been Laiquendi and Nandor too, I think. I can see them frolicing about.

However, part of me likes the idea that it was the anonymous Elladan and Elrohir singing...just as it was the anonymous Legolas getting drunk with Gelion the butler...
