The text, as before, employs a wide variety of posthumously published texts by the author with the permission of the Tolkien Estate. It not only features the return of roles and singers familiar from earlier parts of the cycle, but also introduces new characters such as Elrond, Galadriel and the great mariner Earendil who will be familiar to readers of The Lord of the Rings.  All the singers are professional artists from Welsh National Opera. Reviewing last year's recording of Feanor, Marc Medwin in Fanfare magazine commented 'Heretofore I have been entirely ignorant of Paul Corfield Godfrey's work. More's the pity. This is an operatic recording whose singers and the music they perform are completely in tune with the nature of the story and its themes, making me want to hear the other instalments as soon as possible.'\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlso available:\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eFeanor [PFCD 178\/79]\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eBeren and Luthien [PFCD 110\/11]\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eThe Children of Hurin [PFCD 126\/27]\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eThe Fall of Gondolin [PFCD 092\/93]\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrologue: Aiya Earendil\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eScene Six: Through Evernight he Back was Borne\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eScene One: I Will Follow that Light\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHail Earendil!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eScene Two: And at Times Melian and Galadriel would speak together of Valinor\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe Tarried There From Errantry\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere is Some Woe that Lies Upon You\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShall Mortal Man Step Living Upon the Undying Realm\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThen Galadriel Spoke to Melian of the Silmarils\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA Ship then New They Built for Him\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNow Much You Tell Me\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSurely that is a Silmaril that shines\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a Great Matter\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut on Him Mighty Doom was Laid\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNow the World Runs Swiftly On\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eScene Seven: But Morgoth Looked Not for the Assault That Came Upon Him\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eScene Three: Then a Winter as it Were the Hoarage\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThen the Sun Rose and the Host of the Valar Prevailed\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNow When the Horns of the Hunt Grew Faint\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd Morgoth Himself the Valar Thrust through the Door of Night\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWherefore, Renegade, do you Defile the Seat of our Lord?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eScene Eight: Yield Up Now these Jewels\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eScene Four: Earendil was a Mariner\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThus it Came to Pass That the Silmarils Found Their Long Homes\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is Likely That You Will See Me Never Again\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eScene Nine: Interlude\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo the Sea\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlas for the Weakness of the Great!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBeneath the Moon and Under Star\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThree Rings for the Elvenkings Under the Sky\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eScene Five: A Silmaril of Feanor\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEpilogue: Aiya Earendil\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThrough Hopeless Night She Came to Him\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA Wind in the Grass!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSan Ninqueruvisse Lutier...\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNow the Proud Elms at Last Begin to Quail\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt Night the Elves Dance\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBare has our Realm Become\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI Would Not Seek the Burning Domes and Sands\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54422452797825,"sku":"1845522","price":17.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/7141148059925.jpg?v=1750681428","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/1845522","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
