This is from earlier in the book, that being the Fellowship of the Ring.

Hauntingly beautiful, as the Middle Earth version of a hymn to the Blessed Mother should be.

Ravishingly well done and aesthetically stunning.

The cadence is definitely either directly from a liturgical chant form or based there on.
Very interesting!
Definitely, sounds a lot like Gregorian chorals!


Interesting to hear Tolkien sing in a language invented (or derived) by himself.
