It was definitely sung by Elves. The tricky part about these more specific questions is that we don't really know that much about the song.

Tuor in Gondolin · 01-13-2011, 04:32 PM

Was it first sung in Aman?

Galadriel55 · 01-13-2011, 06:19 PM

Was it first sung in Aman - I bet so!

Ozban · 01-14-2011, 10:17 AM

Is it Ode on some well known Lady?

Galadriel55 · 01-14-2011, 02:08 PM

Is it Ode on some well known Lady? - I wouldn't say so.

Pitchwife · 01-14-2011, 05:09 PM

Is it the Aldudénië, or Lament for the Two Trees, by Elemmíre of the Vanyar?

Galadriel55 · 01-14-2011, 05:11 PM

Aldudénië - no, but very warm!

Pitchwife · 01-14-2011, 05:13 PM

Narsilion, the song of Sun and Moon?

Galadriel55 · 01-14-2011, 06:03 PM

You got it, Pitch!!!

Pitchwife · 01-17-2011, 04:39 AM

Wow, that was pretty esoteric. Nice though.

OK, ask away.

Thanks! I didn't think it would be that difficult! I saw somewhere in this thread things like languages, so I thought a song will be acceptable.

Person?

Pitchwife · 01-17-2011, 08:59 AM

Nothing wrong with a song, that's just a little unusual. But a song that's only mentioned once in a single sentence of the legandarium, that's esoteric! If Tuor hadn't had the brilliant idea of asking whether it was sung in Aman, I'd still be guessing.

Person? - No.

LadyBrooke · 01-18-2011, 05:29 AM

Galadriel55 · 01-18-2011, 06:17 AM
