I think that Howard Shore and Enya read my mind when it came to what Elvish music sounded like. Enya's voice is so inherently Celtic and Elvish, that it sooths me just to listen to her "May It Be." Howard Shore's music is exactly what I thought Elvish music was like, especially in the scene from the FotR Extended DVD where the Elves are traveling to the Grey Havens. They are singing the Sindarin translation of "Snow-white, Snow-white, O Lady Clear!" Their voices are so enchanting that I become lost just listening to them.
