The professor singing...

I understand there's a sound clip around of JRRT singing a portion of Namarie. Anyone have it, or know where it can be found?

*bows*
Thank ye kindy...

I have the audio clip of him chanting it. My lovely aunt sent it to me. Click here. You can scroll down to 'related stories' to listen to the Altariello Nainië Lóriendessë.

I've noticed that a number of the poetry in lord of the rings is noted to have been chanted.

For example: Aragorns short version of the Lay of Leithan and Gimli's song

Interesting. Of course, maybe the prof was like me and can't sing.

There are audio files out there of Tolkien singing, I hear he is pretty good, though he claimed that he couldn't sing. Anyhow Galadriel certainly sings her lament in the Lord of the Rings.

Also... Sauron chants.

He chanted a song of wizardry
of piercing, opening, of treachery

...

backwards and forwards swayed their song
reeling and foundering as ever more strong
the chanting swelled...

so does felagund, appearently.

I love Tolkiens Gollum impression.

Maybe that's what I was thinking about Inolo....that is a gem! *bows*

He also claimed at times, that he couldn't write

I'll keep searching for any more singing I can find...

Gollum Impression?

This is amazing! I can't believe it's free. It really is him? Gollum sounds a little like Yoda in The Empire Strikes back (when Luke first meets him)
