A comment on the collection by an Oxford piano teacher:
‘For those who only know Tolkien via the recent blood-and-thunder films, this song-cycle by Charles McCreery will give a very different angle on the classic saga. Here we find a gentle and ethereal world, where rhythms lilt and words echo. The twelve songs, suitable for choir, evoke a dreamy, water-colour landscape with no harsh sounds, the tunes are singable and in a traditional style that Tolkien would surely have approved.
Dr Julia Gasper, LGSM
A general comment on Charles McCreery’s music by a violinist and composer in the USA:
‘Charles McCreery’s beautifully melodic, intricately textured compositions are infused with classical, romantic and folk idioms.’

‘Galadriel’s Song’ is appropriate for either women’s or children’s voices, and is potentially of interest to anyone who is familiar with the works of J.R.R. Tolkien.
The three vocal parts and the piano accompaniment can each be printed out separately at the end of the full score.
The MP3 which plays from this page is of an orchestral version of the song, which can be heard on the stmaurmusic channel on YouTube.
On the front cover of Galadriel’s Song is a photograph of leaves in Wytham Woods, Oxford, and at the end of the score is a photograph of the sea off Treyarnon Bay, Cornwall .
