Helen,
Yes, it's an altogether grand song, and one of my favorites. However, to get back on the subject...

That's quite a long list! I wish you the best of luck with the songs you shall learn. Any idea what you'll do for tunes? I would find it quite fascinating to, rather than applying tunes from other songs to Tolkien songs, actually compose your own tunes. Maybe I can try a bit of that today. I always did want a tune for the Lament for Boromir.

While we're on the topic of learning Tolkien's songs, here is a site that has the words to verses in LotR, which can come in handy. Much easier than flipping through the book, I think! However it does cause a bit of a problem while trying to compose a song for the tune if you're not quite sure of the situation alreayd. Does anyone know of a site that has not just the verses from LotR but all Tolkien's works?
