Sing us a tale of Eärendil the wandering
Now Shalt Thou Go To Gondolin, Turgon;
And Turgon rose,
But Aredhel Wearied of the Guarded City,
So Aredhel Rode Abroad,
But The Trees of Nan Elmoth...
You Are of the House of Eöl, Maeglin
And, Driven By Anger and Despair,
I Rejoice Indeed That My Sister Has Returned...
Welcome, Kinsman; For So I Hold You.
Huor The Brother of Hurin...
And At That Hour The Sun Went Down...
Rise, Son of Huor!
Storm Music
Hail, Voronwë! I Await You.
Often Have I Vowed...
In a Dim And Perilous Region...
Fell Is This Frost...
This Is Strange In You, Voronwë
Rejoice That You Have Found...
Wedding March
There Elven Lights...
I Am Maeglin...
Ilu Ilúvatar...
Morgoth Is Upon Us!
Ah! Woe Is Me,
The Fume Of The Burning,
Then A Green Turf Came There,
I Know a Window in A Western Tower...
Oh Happy Mariner
