MP3s Sorry, the MP3s are no longer offered. MP3s are the standard for music files on the internet. These songs are both instrumental and vocal. Vocal songs are marked with an asterisk (*). All files are zipped unless otherwise noted. You will need both an unzipper (try WinZip if you don't have one) and an MP3 player (try WinAmp if you don't have one). The files are stored on an FTP server graciously provided by Eric; there's a limit of 5 simultaneous connections and a cap on the speed, so don't go overboard :). The MP3s are sorted by artist/composer. When you're done here make sure you speak with Elrond for information on how to reach the next section, Lothlorien!

Blind Guardian: Blind Guardian is a speed-metal band from Germany that often performs Middle-earth related work.
Deceuninck, Patrice: Patrice Deceuninck is a musician from Lille, France. He has composed a large assortment of LotR-related music and is constantly coming out with more. We have the complete set here.
The Fellowship of the Ring:
The Two Towers:
The Return of the King:
de Meij, Johan: Johan de Meij composed a 5-part LotR symphony in 1989. The movements are: Gandalf, Lothlorien, Gollum/Smeagol, Journey in the Dark (Moria) and Hobbits. I had the privilege of playing the first movement with a regional honors band; it's a very challenging and exciting work.
Hansson, Bo: Bo Hansson made a CD of LotR-related works in 1970. To me, they don't sound like Middle Earth at all; they're more derived from Oriental - Middle-Eastern styles. The pieces all sound very similar, but compared to other LotR music, this collection is unique.
Klemm, LindsayAnne: LindsayAnne is a 20-year-old college student at Michigan State University. Her LotR Symphonic Suite is nice to listen to. The Moria piece is especially exciting.
McCarthy, Daniel: I discovered this composer while searching for marimba music. McCarthy wrote some Tolkien-related pieces with an emphasis on percussion. The only one I've been able to find is "The Call of Boromir," which is a duet between the marimba (my instrument) and the french horn. Christopher Norton is on marimba.
Nimoy, Leonard: As you probably know, Leonard Nimoy played Mr. Spock on Star Trek. In the '60s he recorded The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins. It's so bad that it's good! This one will make you laugh.
Rosenman, Leonard: Leonard Rosenman wrote the score to the animated Lord of the Rings movie from the '70s. He's also written some Star Trek music. While the pieces are actually better than the movie itself, Howard Shore's score for the latest version is superior.
The Tolkien Ensemble: The Tolkien Ensemble is a Danish-based singing group that transfer Tolkien's poetry into song. The pieces are beautifully sung, and are definitely the best interpretation of Tolkien's poetry. We have three songs here for you to sample - for more, check out their website for details on how to purchase the CDs.
