Middle-earth Music: A thank you and giving back - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

That's awesome! Good I didn't include the radio plays in the paper. I originally wanted to, but there just was no space.

I hope I can someday continue writing on this and vastly extend it. My biggest gripe is that I just wasn't able to take into account that after all we are dealing with fiction. In the paper, I basically pretend that everything Tolkien writes is "real", which isn't particularly good form. It makes no difference for bringing across the point, because all I am after is discussing in which ways real music differs from what Tolkien wrote. But it means that most people object to the whole idea of the paper because I had to leave that out...

Looking forward to meeting you!
