That's an interesting idea. In CoH/The Narn the only music that I remember is Hurin's attempt to make a lament for Lalaith and Turin's lament for Beleg. But neither is elaborated on. I'm not sure if you could count the horns of the host of Dor-lomin as music. But if you do, here's the crucial difference - Ulmo's horn vs horns of war. Each one inspires in its own direction.
However, as far as Tuor is concerned, one of the most important musical moments of his life story is probably when he sings to Earendil about the Sea in The Sil.

If every local fence made such sounds no one in the city would be able to sleep!
