Tolkien&#8217;s poem, &#8220;The Lament for the Rohirrim!&#8221;  We hope you enjoy it:)<\/p>\n<p>A note on our interpretation:<\/p>\n<p>We approached this piece more &#8220;organically&#8221;. The melody was composed by singing the lyrics, seeking to be true to the notion of vocal folk tradition. Therefore, the feel of this song is more rhythmically free and more focused on simply dwelling on the questions and answers of the text. There are two sections of the piece: the melody is sung first in a &#8220;contemplative&#8221; setting, and then repeated in a more &#8220;epic&#8221; setting, to explore varying sentiments drawn from this beautiful text.  <\/p>\n<p>We hope you enjoy this as much as we did creating it! Thanks very much for listening and for your support!<\/p>\n<p>We are unable to get permission to sell this song so we are posting it here free for your enjoyment. If you want a copy of the mp3, we are offering it to those who support us on Patreon!<\/p>\n<p>My brother composed and arranged the piece.  My family sang it.<\/p>\n<p>Please no bad language in the comments.  We want this to be family friendly:)<\/p>\n<p>Lyrics:<br \/>\nWhere now the horse and the rider?<br \/>\nWhere is the horn that was blowing?<br \/>\nWhere is the helm and the hauberk,<br \/>\nAnd the bright hair flowing?<br \/>\nWhere is the hand on the harpstring,<br \/>\nAnd the red fire glowing?<br \/>\nWhere is the spring and the harvest<br \/>\nAnd the tall corn growing?<br \/>\nThey have passed like rain on the mountain,<br \/>\nLike a wind in the meadow;<br \/>\nThe days have gone down in the West behind the hills into shadow.<br \/>\nWho shall gather the smoke of the dead wood burning,<br \/>\nOr behold the flowing years from the Sea returning?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Clamavi De Profundis Published on 31 Mar 2018 Here is our version of J.R.R.
