This page has mp3 links to de Meij's Symphony #1, "The Lord of the Rings." I haven't listened to it yet, as I must off to work soon, but I'll probably give it an ear or two there. So for now, I'm passing it along without more comment. Enjoy, I hope.

[Edited to be, like, more accurate -- thanx, Calimac! I hope rwl sees your comment. He was wondering how the music was, and I didn't know yet.]

Current Mood: gotta go
Current Music: "Morning Noon and Night" actually

Minas Morgul was Minas Ithil
Now it's Minas Morgol, not Minas Ithil.
It's getting dark in old Minas Ithil
On a moonless night, by runic light.

The Uruk-Hai in old Minas Ithil
Lurk in Minas Morgul, not Minas Ithil
So if you've a doom in fair Minas Ithil,
It awaits thee in fell Morgul.

(Even old Mirkwood was once the Greenwood great.
Why'd they change? I dare not say --
Evil One liked it better that way.) So--

Take me back to old Minas Ithil.
No, you can't go back to old Minas Ithil
For the road leads not to old Minas Ithil.

Why did poor Minas Ithil pop its corks?
That's nobody's business but the Orks!
