Welcome, Zickerr!
The Downs truly has people from everywhere around the globe! And, like Nog said, there are many different music-related threads hereabouts. I remember an old thread with link to Downers' compositions in honour of ME, I'll try to search for it, if it interrests you...

Hey, thanks a lot for your help
You're all right, there are many composers and albums inspired by Tolkien, and I've bought some of them. Many are very good and many others are not.
 At this moment, I'm interested (but not only) in that music made before the movies. Not because I think that only pre-movie music are good, but it's just a way to made some selection, and because I think that the movie inspired a lot of opportunist composers and bands (not all of them, of course – the Tolkien Ensemble work is really amazing, and the soundtrack of LotR too). These days, I'm enjoying with Donald Swann, Hobbitons and Bo Hansson and I'm looking for "songs of middle earth" by James Satark, that I can't find even after months of search (can we talk about .mp3 files here?). If you had a clue, tell me. And, please, Galadriel55, send me link to Downers' compositions, I'm very interested. Thanks again, and sorry about my english.

Whoops, forgot to post here before I made my first thread. Almiel here, and a very very long time ago, I was a Barrow-Downs lurker. When looking for some translation help, I found it again. I did not become a fan until after FotR came out (I was very nearly dragged there by my dad), but as soon as I saw it, I devoured the books and have read them several times since. I've been working on purchasing more Middle-Earth books - reading them is another story. I'm currently working my way through The Silmarillion (I have started it about a thousand times, but this time I'm actually going to finish it).

Greetings all,
Just thought I would post here and introduce myself. Well, to be truthful I have been a barrow downs member for years, and though like many I didn't stop liking Tolkien, other things just took priority. Now, that I'm older and enjoying Tolkien maybe a bit more mature manner I'm looking to reconnect with the Tolkien fan community and see how everyone else has been doing since the "glory days". Hope everyone is well, and look forward to discussing all things Middle Earth. - Glofin

Hi, zickerr, and welcome! I'm one of the Downers who's very interested in Tolkien-related music and has done some research on the use of music in the books as well as listening to compositions inspired by JRRT's works.
I just recently started a thread introducing the LotR Symphony by Johan de Meij, which was composed in the 80s, well before the movies were made. It's wonderful music! More information and a link here. Several Downers have written on the topic, and we have a sub-forum dedicated to the book Music in Middle-earth here. I'll post more for you when I have time to look deeper into the forum...
