Thanks for that explaination, Voralphion, it makes sense. However I agree with Liriodendron on the fact that the loud endlessly repeating music was Melkor's discord, it resembles his endless succesion, and how, as Tolkien says, "the dark seed which he has sewn will ever sprout anew and bear new fruit". Very curious. I'm sure their are tons of parellelisms between the music and the rest of the tales that Tolkein wrote.

Thanks for the responses! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img],
