About the work of J.R.R. Tolkien has made many songs, although there are few that talk about one of the most peculiar races in his work: the dwarfs.<\/p>\n
In 1996, a few years before the first of the \"Lord of the Rings\" movie versions directed by Peter Jackson, was released, a British traditional music group called Brocel\u00efande<\/a> published an excellent album entitled<\/strong> \"The Starlit Jewel\"<\/a>, in which he set music to 13 songs written by Tolkien in \"The Hobbit\" and in \"The Lord of the Rings\".<\/p>\n One of the most accomplished songs on that album was \"In Durin's Day\", the song that the British writer put into Gimli's mouth in \"The Fellowship of the Ring\"<\/strong>, during the dark journey through Moria, the once glorious dwarven kingdom of Khazad-d\u00fbm, founded by Durin I the Deathless. The song begins as a slow ballad, to gain strength as Gimli recalls the best times of that kingdom under the mountain<\/strong>, to return to a calm rhythm before contemplating the silence and the shadows of Moria.<\/p>\n These days it's hard to get hold of that dics.<\/strong> I've been collecting Tolkien-related records for years and I never got hold of the original \"The Starlit Jewel\" record. However, you can listen to that song on Youtube<\/a>:<\/p>\n
