Quando Corpus, from Rossini's Stabat Mater has always reminded me of Gondor. None of the versions I can find online are quite the way I like it, I prefer it sung faster, the way my choir sings it. I suppose it's rather appropriate that we sang it last Sunday, for the Pope's death, since Tolkien once likened Italy to Gondor. Sample 9.What would you know, when I was looking for the clip on Amazon, I got a little ad on the side for RotK on DVD!

Holst's Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence reminds me of the Elves having to leave Middle-Earth. None of the versions on Amazon sounded very good, so MIDI will have to do.
