Description
SKU: A0.1007135
Composed by Charles McCreery. 20th Century,Children. Octavo. 8 pages. St Maur Music #3530227. Published by St Maur Music (A0.1007135).This is the opening number in a series of songs for children, with words by J.R.R. Tolkien.
The song is written for voices in two and three parts in verses 2 and 3, but can be sung by a choir in unison throughout if preferred, as the tune is always present in one part (usually the top line).
‘Charles McCreerys beautifully melodic, intricately textured compositions are infused with classical, romantic and folk idioms.’ - Samantha Gillogly, violinist
A comment on Charles McCreery’s collection of Tolkien songs:
‘For those who only know Tolkien via the recent blood-and-thunder films, this song-cycle by Charles McCreery will give a very different angle on the classic saga. Here we find a gentle and ethereal world, where rhythms lilt and words echo. The twelve songs, suitable for choir, evoke a dreamy, water-colour landscape with no harsh sounds, the tunes are singable and in a traditional style that Tolkien would surely have approved.’ - Dr Julia Gasper, LGSM
