![]() ![]() I don’t like smoking, but do enjoy the occasional drink. After a long day’s work, I return home no later than 8 PM. In order to make a living, I work for Kame Yu department stores. Not that you’d care, but I reside in northeast Morioh’s villa district. Although, if I were to fight I wouldn’t lose to anyone. That is how I deal with society, and I know that is what brings me happiness. I take care not to trouble myself with any enemies, like winning and losing, that would cause me to lose sleep at night. I’m trying to explain that I’m a person who wishes to live a very quiet life. I was told there were no issues at my last check-up. Just like a baby, I wake up without any fatigue or stress in the morning. After having a glass of warm milk and doing about twenty minutes of stretches before going to bed, I usually have no problems sleeping until morning. I’m in bed by 11 PM, and make sure I get eight hours of sleep, no matter what. I work as an employee for the Kame Yu department stores, and I get home every day by 8 PM at the latest. My house is in the northeast section of Morioh, where all the villas are, and I am not married.

Songwriters may choose to follow these traits closely or follow their inspiration in a different direction. The traits of each song as described in the book are written below. ![]() ![]() TownsendĪrranged for solo singer with chords for guitar or ukuleleĬhoose one of the four dwarven songs written out in The Hobbit. Sheet Music for “Under the Mountain Dark and Tall” ![]() Here is the audio for “Under the Mountain Dark and Tall” as well as a link to a video on YouTube: If any male singers wished to perform this song I would be happy to hear that as it would make for a better musical experiment. I was limited to using mainly software-generated instruments and my soprano voice, so the result isn’t ideal but I think it at least gives listeners one possible interpretation of Tolkien’s words. The music should take advantage of the acoustics of a large, cavernous space.Tolkien says the song is much like “Far Over the Misty Mountains” in Chapter 1, which is slow in pace, adds instruments and voices gradually, and evokes the imagination.I can only be sure that the musicians know how to play fiddles, harps, drums, clarinets, flutes, and viols and so should choose from among these instruments.4/4 time signature as this matches the rhythm of Tolkien’s chosen poetic meter.These were the musical requirements based on what I read in Chapter 15 of The Hobbit: I have written some music to go with the lyrics of “ Under the Mountain Dark and Tall,” trying to create something that matched what Tolkien described. The songs sung by the Dwarves tell of their love of lavishly beautiful things, their long memories, and their quest to reclaim the homeland and treasure that was stolen from them. Their songs can be silly, hopeful, or sad, revealing that Dwarves feel deeply and are more sensitive than one might at first think. Unlike the happy, lilting jigs and waltzes of the Elves, Dwarven songs are richly ornamented, develop slowly, and describe real world events in intricate detail. Although Tolkien never wrote any music for his song lyrics, it’s possible to imagine possible melodies based on his descriptions of the music. Tolkien feature 4/4 time signatures, rich instrumentation, and deep male voices singing in harmony. ![]()
