Nírnaeth Arnoediad/Cuiviénen

Post by Ernildir »

I thought I would share a couple Silmarillion-inspired compositions I recently put together.

Nírnaeth Arnoediad:

And if you prefer a purely Celtic style, I've removed the synthetic drum kit for a more traditional version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-jbWOTCeww

And Cuiviénen:

And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.

I am so sorry, I meant to comment on this awhile back and got sidetracked, but well done! Quite a bit of talent you have!

A couple more...

Here is a piece in the style of a Bach Chorale which depicts a poem from The Adventures of Tom Bombadil:

And a Celtic hornpipe/jig set with some totally failed percussion in the jig:
