There's an Irish traditional called 'Avon Dale', which I associate with the beauty of Middle Earth scenery, and this part of this song here:
'(...) pride and ancient glory fey,
such was the land where he was laid"

brings to mind the battles and lastly, Aragorn's death in Minas Tirth.
The song is so nostalgic and beautiful, it sounds like something straight out of Middle Earth.

And there's this Christmas song which has absolutely nothing to do with Middle Earth, that makes me think "Minas Tirth!" only because there's a line there:
"White city, she's so beautiful!'
The song is 'December will be magic again' by Kate Bush.

Oh, I must add on "Who Wants to Live Forever," it really reminds me of the relationship of Arwen and Aragorn.

I've also recently (as in, the past year and a half) gotten into a group called Adiemus, and they are very Elvish sounding.

There is also a group called Secret Garden that writes music that strongly reminds me of LOTR.

It's hard to pick any one track on some CDs, because the style of that group, overall, is very LOTR-ish.
