J.R.R. Tolkien/Romberg, Choir Music, Namarië

[@Musikbabe1]

I feel kinda badass being a part of this

[@travissomething3341]

Really didn't think someone could re-sing these songs and create such beautiful music. dang.

[@AnaidBlaze56]

Amazing.... i'm crying.... I love this version... Amazing

[@Kyermemehtar]

This is fantastic! I can completely hear this ringing out through the forest from Caras Galadhon.

[@jackcoleman1222]

I can just see Galadriel singing this, hear the weeping of the Celebrant under the boats of the Galadhrim. Your sensitivity in the composition is like nothing I could have imagined. Shore's compositions are perfect for the films, but he's no Romberg.

[@satiric_]

Sorry to necropost - I think the Lament for Gandalf from the films is wonderful, and underrated. I agree about Romberg's versions though - they don't fit the film, but they are amazing!

[@Myleas]

It brought tears to my eyes. Thank you.

[@ayrtonfreitas159]

I love this song, and this interpretation was divine!

[@jackcoleman1222]

Ah! golden fall the leaves in the wind, long years innumerate as the wings of trees! The years have passed like swift draughts of the sweet mead in lofty halls beyond the West, beneath the blue vaults of Varda wherein tremble the stars in her holy, queenly song. Now who the cup for me shall refill? For now the Kindler, Varda, from Everwhite, the Queen of the Stars has lifted her cloudlike hands, and all paths are drowned deep in shadow; and out of a grey country lies darkness on the foaming waves between us, and mist covers the Light-pass's jewels for ever. Now lost, lost to the Easterners is Gods-home! Farewell! Maybe thou shalt find Gods-home. Maybe even thou shalt find it. Farewell!

[@ThaoTran-0102]

Wow, thank you so much for this beautiful Elf translation

[@milleniuminc]

Of course you are! this is an awesome piece! the ensemble is perfect for such this composer's particular vision of Namarië.

[@ElwingWhitewing]

really enchanting this sharing!

[@AlonsoC1017]

I love this music, wish these songs would be on spotify or buy them as in the old good times.

[@firedemon53]

tolkien was the greatest genius ever to grace this world. just saying.

[@danialezero93]

Indeed, I share this emotion everytime I get into this video as well.

[@MalaMare2010]

[@danialezero93]

[@АлісаБондар]

Надзвичайно гарно

[@kcjoehawk]

Can these Tolkien recordings be purchased anywhere?

[@MartinRomberg]

Romberg Unofficial Choir Music Collection (Mp3 format) up for sale before Christmas. Write a mail to: [e-mail].

[@JessCaron]

Sara Meyer, YOU WERE A PART OF THIS/??? What did you sing??

[@uysal22]

I'd like to meet the person that make up this work in person.

[@XenophonSoulis]

Unfortunately Tolkien is dead. He should indeed be an elf (like these that he created) because only then would he be able to give to the world all his work! This is even more beautiful than existing languages.

[@timomastosalo]

I have to say I don't think a person sounds like this when sad and missing something, or longing back. This sounds like people seeking to find the extreme limits where their voices can reach: - Amazingly skillful, but doesn't carry the emotions I get from the words. Except, about 4:00 forward. The ending sounds real, convincing. There I connect. It's like a tender veil landing to comfort the longing person in her emotion of missing.

[@maxsteele4555]

Ever heard a requiem? This isn't one, but the use of the sopranos l find skillfully utilized and definitely takes you to a different world, a more spiritual world beyond a mundane 3 dimensional world. And then when the choir sings both by itself and in the background, you definitely hear a longing. The repeated alternating intervals that the choir sings also helps to produce an otherworldly effect with undulating waves of sound.

[@WillowTitov]

I always thought that "Ai" would read as "Ee" rather than "Eye-Ee". Is that not it would be read, especially when written in Tengwar?

[@AleAlanNini]

It's correct "eye" :) in the phonetic transcription, [a] is read as in "cat" and [i] as in "tin", the fact that is written as a diphtong doesn't change the individual sounds!

[@LeSavoirdesAnneaux]

Is there some place where it is possible to find the written score ?

[@MartinRomberg]

Yes sir, write the composer: [e-mail]

[@LeSavoirdesAnneaux]

Thanks mate

[@davidgilmoursnostril11]

Is there anywhere to buy/listen to this?

[@celebenarinya]

You guys would have made the Peter Jackson movies a bazillion times better had you sung for them!

[@MrDexfrost]

Beautiful, but the soprano is out of key.

[@MartinRomberg]

It's a live performance, so these things do happen. :-)

[@spacejunk2186]

@@MartinRomberg A happy little accident.
