I have been thinking on the question I posted two days ago, and even though I haven't made my mind up yet on this subject, I want to share my thoughts with you. Maybe you all see the answer very clearly, and can show me where the fault in my reasoning is [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

What is sung by the Ainur in the Music is what is going to happen in Eä. And, according to the Ainulindalė it seems that the Music is sung before Eä comes into existence.
Sauron participated in the Music, because he was an Ainu. That means that Sauron was giving shape with his singing to events in Eä, including some that would happen during the First Age and later.

Let's consider then, that Sauron sung with Aulė, as one of his followers, during all the Music. That would imply that Sauron sang against the discords introduced by Melkor, even in events that correspond to the First, Second and Third Age of Arda.
Then Sauron enters in Eä with Aulė, is soon corrupted by Morgoth and follows him. From then on, Sauron contributes actively to make the discords of the Music come into reality.
But then, what about the themes sang by Sauron in the Music as a follower of Aulė, are they not going to become real? and, who sang the events that Sauron is doing in Arda as a servant of Morgoth?

In my opinion, that would be incoherent with what the Music is, and that is why I think it more feasible that Sauron began singing with Aulė and after some time he joined Morgoth's discords.
