Years and years after i come back to this video, it still gives me goosebumps stronger than the last time i hear it. Silmarillion is my favorite book by Tolkien and every time i finish it, i come back to this video and relive the moments, but each time i comprehend more than i did last time and look at things like i haven't done before. Wherein the beauty chiefly comes. I love this book and i love all the Valar, but Yavanna the most, also known as Kemuntari, the spouse of Aule and mother of nature. I love her the most, more so than Varda, lady of the stars who is beloved by all of the Eldar. Not only did she love the children of Illuvitar and always had them in thought. But she also loved her creation, from two trees of Valinor to every flower and grass. What a wonderful and timeless world did Tolkien create, if it came to me i would love to dwell in blessed realm forever. But now iam rambling too much i suppose. Thank you for this wonderful piece of art. Enjoy your readings!

[@Makkaru112]

I imagine that Illuvatar didn’t mind Melkors song at first, but when it became too chaotic, he had to put a stop to it

[@Makkaru112]

It was used to create an even more sublime world called Eä and now the board has been set. Then they entered and had to build everything from scratch. The ainur that became the Maiar and Valar. And now have to play out something greater than them. Playing their parts. Then the world gets remade again. Becoming a world greater than even the perfect design melkor ruined and poisoned and forced said world to bleed out its magic.

Yes Tolkien's works were and are very inspirational to all who read his manuscripts. Tolkien is know as the father of epic illustrations. The music had a gave a good touch to Tolkien's words.

[@arthurofalbion]

Tolkien was to mythic literature what Beethoven was to music, and what Shakespeare was to dramatic literature. Each universalised his culture by creating masterpieces for all the world* that bring the human spirit closer to the presence of God. All hail, to Illuvatar's eternal praise! * I know that a masterpiece is, by definition, for all cultures and all times. But this is not known widely enough that I felt that I should avoid the tautological phrasing.

[@giuseppepapaleo3030]

like mozart was to music. beethoven is remembered mythicall as well but not as mozart.

[@arthurofalbion]

@@giuseppepapaleo3030 Naturally, I revere Mozart as one of the all-time great composers. Nevertheless, let me provide some evidence that Beethoven's compositions were greater, generally speaking. _ Beethoven put much more work into composition than Mozart did. Several of Beethoven's pieces were developed and perfected over periods of years, sometimes many years (e.g., the glorious Ninth Symphony). By contrast, according to James Keays of the Redlands Symphony, Mozart composed 'his three greatest (and final) symphonies' over a period of only a month and a half, from 26 June through 10 August of 1788 (www.redlandssymphony.com/pieces/symphony-no-41-jupiter-k-551). (Some sources say three months, but this is probably because three months were involved, June, July, and August -- though, in fact, it was only small fractions of two of those months.) Moreover, Beethoven's achievement resulted, in part, from building upon Mozart's achievement. Therefore, unless Mozart's genius was significantly greater than Beethoven's -- very unlikely, I think we can agree -- we must conclude that, generally speaking, Beethoven's compositions were greater than Mozart's. _ Some think that Beethoven's extra work per unit of output was just a consequence of his deafness. However, his extraordinarily lengthy composition periods began _before_ he went deaf. For example, according to Wikipedia, Beethoven began work on his second piano concerto in 1788, revised it from 1794-95, and finished it in 1798 (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_compositions_by_Ludwig_van_Beethoven).

[@arthurofalbion]

@@sudanemamimikiki1527 When a man of genius does the kind of work that is proper to his kind of genius, it is very likely that the more he works, the greater is his accomplishment. I know of no reason to think that Beethoven was an exception. _ Perhaps the reason that none of your compositions will ever be superior to any of Mozart's compositions is simply that his musical genius is much greater than yours. At least you will admit that it is possible. I said in my comment that I was assuming that Mozart's musical genius was not significantly greater than Beethoven's. Naturally, if this is not so, then my reasoning fails.

[@arthurofalbion]

@@sudanemamimikiki1527 I never claimed to have proven my point, merely to have provided some evidence in its favour. It seems that you and I simply have different views on what explanations of the evidence are more likely in this instance. I'm happy to live with that. I rejoice that you are a lover of great music, and pray that it helps to lift your spirit far above the depravity of the world around us. God bless!

[@raembes]

Whenenver I read the first few pages, it is literally like the bible. Valar are Archangels, Maiar are Angels. And the Valar lords are 7 too, the same number as the Archangels. (Although there are 14 Valar in total). One of them is the fallen one, Melkor, in the Bible it's Lucifer (Satan).

[@Makkaru112]

@@raembesmelkor isn’t that at all. Tolkien hated allegory. Especially that kind. Tolkien And Mytholovers article gives full context of his “it’s a fundamentally catholic work” that too many keep pushing without knowing the whole story and the whole conversation between Tolkien and certain people where that statement came from. Tolkien, (The OG of all Authors) was a veteran of the First World War and many other battles such as The Battle Of Somme etc. his works of art were to give back to the England as a form of restoring lost mythologies that he himself was a master of since he was a top professor of philology at Oxford. He did ALOT of his writing while in the trenches during WWI during small “breaks” while down in those trench forts built into the ground. And while he eldest son was in the Second World War; his Lord Of The Rings writings was strictly created above all else to give his eldest something to read while stationed wherever he was stationed. I forgot that part. They sent letters back and forth about it all the time. He was also the one and only son that actually protected his fathers legacy and work. A lot of his other work were put together BY his son after his father passed away. It’s well worth to react to the documentary behind the scenes film the director and crew and cast created together as well as the interview with the son Christopher Tolkien who you get to sort of enjoy a nice indoor and outdoor chat for like what came to about 1-2 hours of wonderful footage from an era that really must not be forgotten. His work shed a light on things like The Finnish Kalevala, Norwegian Elder Edda, The Welsh Mabinogion, The Norwegian Nibelungen, The Indian Bhagvagita & Several Irish Folklore + other Cultural things! The man also restored and translated ancient relics for the governments as one everyone trusted. Much of what’s in our dictionary come from his efforts as well. Anytime he spoke & even posted several comments into the paper as an editorial or response to certain issues as a very involved man for the world and the environment everyone turned their head to listen to him as everyone knew his worth and respected him greatly. His works show how NOT to glorify war; shows in the films if you pay close attention while watching the next films. Sharing what you know now via the after thoughts at the end of the second film! Remember. Extended edition. There is a lot missed out on especially in the second movie regarding Boromir backstory which there is much more in the books but the films WANTED to keep more but the cinemas and Harvey Weinstein literally harangued him into making a “theatrical cut” which is why you have two versions. The real version and the “theatrical cut”. It was all to make more money for the company that is the theatres/cinemas. To get more showings in per day during the year. And believe me. People were camping outside and travelling the country to watch it MORE THAN ONCE. His creations literally lead to inspiring the most currently famous books games & movies we all literally wouldn’t have enjoyed and be touched to our souls core without him and his spiritually connected brilliance. That and he was a philologist professor at Oxford first and foremost which covers so many things. Not just linguistic. The man was a true genius and Jack of all trades but ultimately LOVED the simple life. The inspiration for Lord of the Rings was not any war, but author J.R.R. Tolkien's love of language. Especially Welsh, Finnish and Old English. He lamented the loss of any true English folklore, that was wiped out after the Norman invasion of 1066, so Tolkien wrote many books on these new "legends" he came up with himself. Much of which is centered around three languages he fully developed himself. Two Elven languages and Dwarvish., Númenorean Adunaic, Black Speech(warped Numenorean and elvish) They all have syntax, vocabularies, and a whole writing system that can be learned as the Tengwar alphabet is moreso to match with the spoken elvish rather than one to one for other country’s alphabet. Hundreds of people worldwide speak elvish fluently. Tolkien did draw upon his personal experience in the trenches of World War ONE, not Two, as inspiration for some parts, most notably, the Dead Marshes that Frodo and Sam and Gollum pass through in The Two Towers. But war was not the inspiration for the entire series. World Of Warcraft. Skyrim, Harry Potter, Diablo, D&D, even Warhammer and so forth wouldn’t have. Existed without taking inspiration from and or completely ripping off from Tolkien. I’d also like to explain Gandalf a bit too: Tolkien drew alot of inspiration from the norse mythology. Magical rings, Gandalf (Staff elf in old norse), Gandalfs outfit (Odin), Gandalfs title 'the grey wanderer' (Odin), Shadowfaxe (The horses of day and night Rhimfaxe and Skinfaxe), Trolls, elves, dwarves etc. * Odin had a legendary horse, Sleipnir, who had eight legs and was said to be one of the greatest horses known to the gods. Gandalf had Shadowfax, who had no equal among horses in Middle-earth and could understand the speech of men. * Ødin’s legendary gear-the spear Gungnir and the ring Draupnir-could have influenced Gandalf’s legendary sword Glamdring or, more likely, the magic staff he carries, while the ring possibly influenced Gandalf’s possession of the ring Narya (Sturlson 145). * Gandalf and Odin both receive new wisdom as a result of sacrifice, as Gandalf is reincarnated after his fight with the Balrog, and Ødin gains power and wisdom after hanging himself on the tree Yggdrasil for nine days (Sigfusson 80-85). * One of the most apparent ways in which Gandalf and Ødin are alike is that they both take the shape of an old grey pilgrim, with a wide-brimmed hat and grey cloak when they wander the mortal world and deal with the inhabitants (Pitts 7). * Gandalf and Ødin are virtually reflections of each other, as can be observed through examining their gear and animal companions, the way they sacrificed themselves and were rewarded with wisdom, and the fact that they walk the earth as old men in tattered clothing. The Renowned Steeds of Gandalf and Odin Gandalf and Ødin both have renowned horses and staves with magical properties. Odin carries the legendary spear Gungnir, which is said never to miss its mark when thrown (Sturlson 145); however, he also carries it as his staff when he wanders the earth as an old man. In the Poetic Edda, the Valkyrie Sigrdrifa advises Sigurd about the magical application of runes and tells him that there are runes inscribed on the tip of Gungnir (Sigfusson 291). This spear could be a parallel to Glamdring( High Elven King Turgon’s sword, that was forged for the Goblin wars but is most likely influential to the staff Gandalf carries on his journeys. Strikingly similar to Shadowfax, Odin possesses a legendary horse named Sleipnir, who has eight legs and can run on the ground and through the air at great speeds. This sounds very similar, in some ways, to Tolkien’s description of Shadowfax in The Two Towers, “Shadowfax tossed his head and cried aloud as if a trumpet had summoned him to battle. Then he sprang forward. Fire flew from his feet; night rushed over him” (Tolkien 228). Elden Ring, Dungeons And Dragons, Diablo, Zelda, Harry Potter, vamp diaries, Red Sonja, Oath Breakers, Dragon Lance, Willow, Conan, Swords and Magic, Highlander movie+series and so much more were inspired by Tolkiens works.​​⁠

As much as I love the LOTR movies, sometimes I feel like they are too gloomy and natural colored, not bright enough.

And music, music wherever the characters are! I really like the movies and they were the reason for me to fall in love with Middle-Earth, but they are too action oriented.

Skooma Joe Thanks! You are right. It would've been really hard to make a visual interpretation of what Tolkien wrote about in this chapter, but using these images turned out nicely in my opinion!

[@Makkaru112]

Ainur became the elves and men? Maybe. We know that men are extension of Eru’s thought and is another reason why they were mortal so Morgoth couldn’t follow them beyond the coils of the world when they die. That and before Morgoth cursed their ancestors before Finrod was the first elf to meet Men they were already holding the gift of Men regardless. Before the curse and haunting and harming and manipulating men for a long time before meeting elves had already had a severely reduced lifespan so when some became Númenoreans they had their lifespan restored to their origins before they were cursed. This is in his more deep writings that are in other books.

[@aleksandarvujanic7914]

To make this easy clear. At the beginning there was a God Iluvatar who crated Ainurs or the Angelic spirits. He teached them to sing, amd after some time they started to be more impressive to him and he was pleased. One of those Ainurs Melkor later known as a Morgoth decided to sing on his own way ruining their Harmony so he played techno instead of Classical music. Iluvatar warned Morgoth 2 times, but he still wanted to sing song on his own. After that Iluvatar stood up and with his stike he stoped this madness, and music stoped.

This is basically a metaphor of the book of Genesis. The whole lore of LOTR is so full of Christian allegories it's crazy

[@Makkaru112]

Nope. He stated openly about allegory vs applicability. He put forwards in all his books about this as well as it’s connection to war and essentially glorifying it. Every live interview he pushed back on people pushing religion into it all.

[@Makkaru112]

Tolkien, (The OG of all Authors) was a veteran of the First World War and many other battles such as The Battle Of Somme etc. his works of art were to give back to the England as a form of restoring lost mythologies that he himself was a master of since he was a top professor of philology at Oxford. He did ALOT of his writing while in the trenches during WWI during small “breaks” while down in those trench forts built into the ground. And while he eldest son was in the Second World War; his Lord Of The Rings writings was strictly created above all else to give his eldest something to read while stationed wherever he was stationed. I forgot that part. They sent letters back and forth about it all the time. He was also the one and only son that actually protected his fathers legacy and work. A lot of his other work were put together BY his son after his father passed away. It’s well worth to react to the documentary behind the scenes film the director and crew and cast created together as well as the interview with the son Christopher Tolkien who you get to sort of enjoy a nice indoor and outdoor chat for like what came to about 1-2 hours of wonderful footage from an era that really must not be forgotten. His work shed a light on things like The Finnish Kalevala, Norwegian Elder Edda, The Welsh Mabinogion, The Norwegian Nibelungen, The Indian Bhagvagita & Several Irish Folklore + other Cultural things! The man also restored and translated ancient relics for the governments as one everyone trusted. Much of what’s in our dictionary come from his efforts as well. Anytime he spoke & even posted several comments into the paper as an editorial or response to certain issues as a very involved man for the world and the environment everyone turned their head to listen to him as everyone knew his worth and respected him greatly. His works show how NOT to glorify war; shows in the films if you pay close attention while watching the next films. Sharing what you know now via the after thoughts at the end of the second film! Remember. Extended edition. There is a lot missed out on especially in the second movie regarding Boromir backstory which there is much more in the books but the films WANTED to keep more but the cinemas and Harvey Weinstein literally harangued him into making a “theatrical cut” which is why you have two versions. The real version and the “theatrical cut”. It was all to make more money for the company that is the theatres/cinemas. To get more showings in per day during the year. And believe me. People were camping outside and travelling the country to watch it MORE THAN ONCE. His creations literally lead to inspiring the most currently famous books games & movies we all literally wouldn’t have enjoyed and be touched to our souls core without him and his spiritually connected brilliance. That and he was a philologist professor at Oxford first and foremost which covers so many things. Not just linguistic. The man was a true genius and Jack of all trades but ultimately LOVED the simple life. The inspiration for Lord of the Rings was not any war, but author J.R.R. Tolkien's love of language. Especially Welsh, Finnish and Old English. He lamented the loss of any true English folklore, that was wiped out after the Norman invasion of 1066, so Tolkien wrote many books on these new "legends" he came up with himself. Much of which is centered around three languages he fully developed himself. Two Elven languages and Dwarvish., Númenorean Adunaic, Black Speech(warped Numenorean and elvish) They all have syntax, vocabularies, and a whole writing system that can be learned as the Tengwar alphabet is moreso to match with the spoken elvish rather than one to one for other country’s alphabet. Hundreds of people worldwide speak elvish fluently. Tolkien did draw upon his personal experience in the trenches of World War ONE, not Two, as inspiration for some parts, most notably, the Dead Marshes that Frodo and Sam and Gollum pass through in The Two Towers. But war was not the inspiration for the entire series. World Of Warcraft. Skyrim, Harry Potter, Diablo, D&D, even Warhammer and so forth wouldn’t have. Existed without taking inspiration from and or completely ripping off from Tolkien. Many great documentaries to react to about him also more about him and AWESOME stuff from the hours & hours of behind the scenes documentaries from the DVDs of the movies which are also on KZbin & I can send you a playlist to react to from top to bottom on the channel called Pajasek99. I’d also like to explain Gandalf a bit too: Tolkien drew alot of inspiration from the norse mythology. Magical rings, Gandalf (Staff elf in old norse), Gandalfs outfit (Odin), Gandalfs title 'the grey wanderer' (Odin), Shadowfaxe (The horses of day and night Rhimfaxe and Skinfaxe), Trolls, elves, dwarves etc. * Odin had a legendary horse, Sleipnir, who had eight legs and was said to be one of the greatest horses known to the gods. Gandalf had Shadowfax, who had no equal among horses in Middle-earth and could understand the speech of men. * Ødin’s legendary gear-the spear Gungnir and the ring Draupnir-could have influenced Gandalf’s legendary sword Glamdring or, more likely, the magic staff he carries, while the ring possibly influenced Gandalf’s possession of the ring Narya (Sturlson 145). * Gandalf and Odin both receive new wisdom as a result of sacrifice, as Gandalf is reincarnated after his fight with the Balrog, and Ødin gains power and wisdom after hanging himself on the tree Yggdrasil for nine days (Sigfusson 80-85). * One of the most apparent ways in which Gandalf and Ødin are alike is that they both take the shape of an old grey pilgrim, with a wide-brimmed hat and grey cloak when they wander the mortal world and deal with the inhabitants (Pitts 7). * Gandalf and Ødin are virtually reflections of each other, as can be observed through examining their gear and animal companions, the way they sacrificed themselves and were rewarded with wisdom, and the fact that they walk the earth as old men in tattered clothing. The Renowned Steeds of Gandalf and Odin Gandalf and Ødin both have renowned horses and staves with magical properties. Odin carries the legendary spear Gungnir, which is said never to miss its mark when thrown (Sturlson 145); however, he also carries it as his staff when he wanders the earth as an old man. In the Poetic Edda, the Valkyrie Sigrdrifa advises Sigurd about the magical application of runes and tells him that there are runes inscribed on the tip of Gungnir (Sigfusson 291). This spear could be a parallel to Glamdring( High Elven King Turgon’s sword, that was forged for the Goblin wars but is most likely influential to the staff Gandalf carries on his journeys. Strikingly similar to Shadowfax, Odin possesses a legendary horse named Sleipnir, who has eight legs and can run on the ground and through the air at great speeds. This sounds very similar, in some ways, to Tolkien’s description of Shadowfax in The Two Towers, “Shadowfax tossed his head and cried aloud as if a trumpet had summoned him to battle. Then he sprang forward. Fire flew from his feet; night rushed over him” (Tolkien 228). Elden Ring, Dungeons And Dragons, Diablo, Zelda, Harry Potter, vamp diaries, Red Sonja, Oath Breakers, Dragon Lance, Willow, Conan, Swords and Magic, Highlander movie+series and so much more were inspired by Tolkiens works.​​⁠
