Elven Music - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

When I read the books and elven music is mentioned, I also get a sense of some sort of Celtic-type music. Perhaps it's because I am an avid fan of the genre...but the choral group Anúna basically embodies what I imagine elven singing to be like, very other-wordly, with complex harmony and pure tones. I suppose that since the Celts were a people with an almost mythical connatation, that's why I associate their music with the elves, so vibrant and full of life, but with an underlying sorrow and yearning that can bring a tear to your eye and a longing to your heart.
