I have been collecting music related to the work of my favorite writer for many years, and I am rarely impressed by a song. Today I can say that I have found one that has moved me.<\/p>\n
Looking for music about Tolkien's work on Spotify I found the work of a British singer-songwriter I did not know:<\/strong> Eurielle<\/a> (above, in the photo). Her music is reminiscent of Enya's and, like the Irish singer, she has several themes related to Tolkien's stories.<\/strong> The subject that leads me to write this post was published last August and is entitled \"L\u00fathien's Lament\". In this song, Eurielle gives voice to the most beautiful Elvish maidens that Middle Earth knew: L\u00fathien Tin\u00faviel<\/strong>, daughter of King Thingol and Melian the maia, whose story appears in \"The Silmarillion\" and to which is dedicated a book that will be published in a few months<\/a>, edited by the now elderly (is 93 years old) third son of the famous British writer, Christopher Tolkien, collecting texts written by his father.<\/p>\n But let's return to the song: L\u00fathien appears before the Halls of Mandos, the most inflexible of the Valar, in charge of doing justice to the dead<\/strong> and the only one, besides Eru, who knows the destiny that he reserves for men. The elven princess goes to Mandos to beg for Beren, the man she was in love with-literally-even beyond the barriers of death.<\/strong> Tolkien told that only she, who also managed to charm someone as perverse as Morgoth, was able to move Mandos. When writing and putting voice to this song, Eurielle assumed an enormous challenge: how to approach even the charm of the words of L\u00fathien?<\/strong> But the truth is that listening her one imagines well that moment and the reason why Mandos felt sorry to hear that maid. You can listen to the song in this video that has published the Youtube channel of Eurielle<\/a>:<\/p>\n
