Album

This double album contains all the songs from J.R.R. Tolkien’s ‘The Lord of the Rings’ set to music. It is the continuation of the project started in “Songs of the Shire and the Lands Beyond”. One can follow along with the words from the books as the titles are taken from the first lines of each song and appear in the same order on the album as they do in the books. The project of writing these songs began while I was serving in the military during the final years of the 1960’s. These books brought much beauty into my life at a time when it was most appreciated. I hope the music does justice to Tolkien’s genius. There is a suite on this album which is very dear to my heart as it covers many joyous moments over many years. May your journey with the Halflings be as fulfilling as mine.
