It's for your own personal, private listening use and you're not going to sell it or circulate or otherwise publish it-- and all that other legal stuff-- right??? Careful of those copyright infringements, etc. I'm no expert about it, but they are nailing people for copyright infringements, more and more.

Having said that, get busy with a web seach engine. On the net you can find mp3s of Donald Swann's versions of The Road Goes Ever On available for download. Formal drawing-room style presentation, might not be quite to your taste.

Also, there are a few clips of the old Rankin-Bass music-- again, may or may not be to your taste. I love them.

What to look for otherwise?

For pure Tolkien, *if* you like semi-classical presentations of Tolkien's songs, then you probably want to buy these CDs:

Tolkien Ensemble:
An Evening in Rivendell
A Night in Rivendell
At Dawn In Rivendell (this one's easily available at any decent CD store, check this out efore hunting for the others which are very hard to find)

Broceliande: The Starlit Jewel (VERY difficult to find, but keep an eye out...)

If what you are looking for is rock, metal, rap, techno, synth, etc, that's not my forte. However, lots of other people have searched out the same thing you are searching out. There is something out there (I forget where) called The Tolkien Music List. Type that into google, and be amazed! There are single cuts everywhere.

And lastly, go to the main Barrow-Downs' page, then to LINKS, and scroll down to "Music."
