7th October 2019: New publication, Music in Tolkien's Work and Beyond

Music in Tolkien's Work and Beyond

We are pleased to announce our latest publication Music in Tolkien's Work and Beyond , edited by Julian Eilmann & Friedhelm Schneidewind.

"I love music" (J.R.R. Tolkien)

Music plays a crucial role in Tolkien's mythology, and his tales contain many songs as well as mentions of musicians and instruments.

The present book edited by Julian Eilmann and Friedhelm Schneidewind is the successor to the well-received 2010 volume Music in Middle-earth, No. 20 of the Cormarë Series, which drew the attention of Tolkien scholarship to the importance and nature of music in Tolkien's work. As the title of this volume suggests, Music in Tolkien's work and Beyond simultaneously follows the path of analyzing the use and significance of music and musical elements in Tolkien's literary texts while also considering the broader context, such as adaptations and other authors and composers.
