May 2008: Call for papers
Music in Middle-earth
Music plays an important role in Tolkien«s mythology, and his stories include many songs as well as references to musicians and instruments. Though numerous melodies for his poems have been composed, sung, played and recorded, secondary literature on Middle-earth hardly mentions the subject. This fascinating topic provides ample scope for academic exploration of various aspects of the significance and nature of music in Tolkien«s works, which can extend from general areas such as the power of music or the art of music to today«s interpretations of Middle-earth music.
If you are interested in contributing, or would like to learn more about this book project, please download this pdf (circa 100KB).
Music in Middle-earth will simultaneously be published in German by Edition Stein und Baum under the title Musik in Mittelerde.
