I think the elves would listen to late medieval/early rennaisance polyphany. Motets and early chansons sound very elvish.

I don't think Gregorian chant seems very dwarvish. Unless you're thinking free and parallel organum. Other forms of the chant have a counter-tenor singing WAY high with very free rhythm. That doesn't seem very dwarvish to me.

Hobbits . . . ah . . . Rennaisance madrigals. From England. Very hobbitish. And probably some Ayres. And pavannes and golliards. And Estampies! (But that's medieval, not rennaissance, and it's also French, not English [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] )

Orcs . . . heavist, ear-splitting, skull-crushing, rock-pounding music you can get. The less melody the better!

This didn't have much to do with rock'n roll, but oh well! Hey, I actually knew what I was talking about this time! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
