Here is a piece for violin, viola and piano, which I hope may be of interest to some members: reverbnation/stmaurmusic/song/16349408-tolkien-song-arranged-for-violin The score can be printed out for free here. scoreexchange/scores/136946.html ’Charles McCreerys beautifully melodic, intricately textured compositions are infused with classical, romantic and folk idioms.’ Samantha Gillogly, violinist The complete, illustrated set of ‘Fourteen Tolkien Songs for Children’s Voices’ in vocal score (voice parts with piano accompaniment) recently became available on Amazon here, should anyone be looking for new repertoire for a choir: amazon/Fourteen-Tolkien-Songs-Childrens-Voices/dp/1492187534 ‘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 Videos of four of the songs can be seen on YouTube here: youtube/user/stmaurmusic/videos These are orchestral versions, but I hope they give an idea of what the songs are like. All the best, Charles
